Our First .NET Application
|
It is important to stay focused on the requirements and not start developing an unnecessarily complex application. Therefore we choose a simple set of goals: |
- Using the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET integrated development environment (IDE)
- Designing simple Windows forms
- Getting started with C# programming
- Using the .NET class library
To realize these goals we will implement a simple application, which we will call SmartNotes, that allows placing of electronic notes anywhere on the desktop. We will also integrate a "remind me later" function into this application. This should be sufficient for a first .NET technology evaluation.
