It discusses the relationship between the C# code, the C# compiler, the .NET Framework, and more. The lesson discusses the concept of code blocks at a high level explaining how methods, classes, and namespaces are related. Finally, the lesson shows you where your project files are stored and the location of code compiled by the Visual Studio IDE as well as the different types of compilation (i.e., debug compilation versus release compilation).     en Fri, 24 May 2013 07:56:38 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 07:56:38 GMT Rev9 Re: Dissecting the First C# Program You Created - 03 Where is the awesome intro music tunes???  J/k

re: 22 hour C# series ... The series you are referencing is not free.  I have posted a few on YouTube for promotional purposes.  Please see my website for more information.

re: release folder ... what I post below is from the VB version of this video, so I'm copying the comments from that video that address the same question:

http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Basic-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/Dissecting-the-First-Visual-Basic-Program-You-Created-03

 

The release folder is used when a release version of the application is created.  To create a release version IN VB EXPRESS EDITION, you must choose the menu option Debug | Build <<your project name>>.  Likewise, the Debug version of the application will not appear in the Debug folder until you run (Start Debugging / F5) at least once.

IN VISUAL STUDIO 2010 PRO: You first choose the pre-created Release configuration from the Configuration Manager (Build | Configuration Manager ... or the Solutions Configuration drop down box on the toolbar ... next to the green Start Debugging arrow icon) then select Build | Build <<your project name>>.

I just did this in the PRO version and got this output in the Output window:

------ Build started: Project: HelloWorld, Configuration: Release x86 ------
  HelloWorld -> C:\Users\Robert Tabor\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\HelloWorld\HelloWorld\bin\Release\HelloWorld.exe
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

 

This points you to the folder where it was released (see the message, above).  Hope that helps?  Perhaps it was outputting in a different directory than you were anticipating?

Sir the DEBUG folder in your video contains files:
1)HelloWorld
2)HelloWorld.pdb
3)HelloWorld.vshost
4)HelloWorld.vshost.exe.manifest
But my DEBUG folder don't contains "HelloWorld.vshost.exe.manifest" file.

But all these four file which I have mentioned above are present in my RELEASE folder. Where as the RELEASE folder in the VIDEO only contains files:
1)HelloWorld
2)HelloWorld.pdb

Sir, I am asking this issue because, as u have mentioned that the release folder should only contain the files which we have to give to others. But in my case it contains it all. What should I do??

You will need to know some C# to create even the most basic applications for the Phone.  You could drag and drop controls on to the designer surface and create a user interface without knowing C#, however to do anything meaningful you will need to get your hands dirty and write some C# ... c'mon.  It's not that bad -- and frankly writing the code is the FUN PART!!!

@Carter: Thanks Carter ... I strive for clarity and encouragement ... I think that is important when teaching others.  Glad these are helping you!

So I have the flow and logic of programming down.
I have designed and created reports, querrys, and forms in Access, so some of the IDE tools feel familiar.
Your videos have filled in some blanks that other video and written tutorials have left me wondering about - like, I was hung up on what a Class was. Your simple explanation got me past the fear that I am not paying enough attention to a class and using it in my code. As my skills increase and my "Solutions" get bigger, I know I will need to use classes. ...and it's thanks to you that I know that now.

@David C: Very cool ... my early definition of classes will not suffice LONG TERM, but in the short term it should be a good working definition.  You'll come to think of them in more conceptual / abstract terms as you learn more about Object Oriented Programming.  Good luck and thanks for the kind words!

Just a tip from one noob to another: When learning to program you are going to come across many commands in syntax that you don't understand. It would behoove you to learn to answer your own questions.

For example, in this case you wanted to know what the ReadLine(); was for. Here are some ways I would go about answering that question for myself:

  1. Try removing that segment of the syntax and then executing the program. This approach will generally lead to compile errors but you may see a change in behavior in the program. In this case you would notice the DOS box pop up and immediately disappear.
  2. In the Visual Studio IDE highlight the syntax in question "ReadLine" and then press F1. This will take you to an online resource for the specific method and provide further details.
  3. Next, you can always Google for the answer. Something like "C# ReadLine" or "C# why use ReadLine" The second result from the second search returned a page with this info:

    Pause before exit

    You can insert a Console.ReadLine method call at the end of the Main method—or even in a finally block in the Main method. This will ensure the terminal window is never dismissed by Windows immediately on program completion.

I hope this helps. I'm not saying you were wrong in asking here, but you can get answers to questions pretty quick if you are willing to put some work in to it.
