Developing Applications

Using Visual Studio


what is visual studio IDE?
• Visual Studio 2010 is an integrated development environment (IDE) created by
Microsoft primarily for software development.
• Visual Studio 2010 is like a special tool on the computer that helps people make
computer programs.
• It has a place where you write your code, another place where you can see all the
parts of your project, and a special area for fixing mistakes called the debugger.
key features and components:
• Workspace: The main area where you write, edit, and manage your code files. It
typically consists of tabs representing different files and windows such as the
Solution Explorer, which displays the structure of your project.
• Solution Explorer: This window provides a hierarchical view of your project's files,
folders, and resources. It allows you to navigate, organize, and manage your
project's components.
• Code Editor: Visual Studio includes a powerful code editor with features like
syntax highlighting, IntelliSense (code completion), code snippets, and refactoring
tools to enhance productivity while writing code.
• Debugger: Visual Studio offers robust debugging capabilities that allow you to
step through your code, set breakpoints, inspect variables, and diagnose issues in
real-time.
• Designer: For projects involving graphical user interfaces (GUIs), Visual Studio
provides designers for building interfaces visually. You can drag and drop controls
onto forms and customize their properties using the integrated design tools.
• Integrated Tools: Visual Studio integrates various tools and utilities for tasks such as
version control (e.g., Team Foundation Server, Git), unit testing, code analysis,
performance profiling, and database management.
• Project Templates: Visual Studio includes a wide range of project templates for different
types of applications, including desktop, web, mobile, and cloud-based applications.
These templates provide a starting point for your projects and help streamline
development.
• Language Support: Visual Studio supports multiple programming languages, including
C#, Visual Basic .NET, C++, F#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and more.

Script Window
Script window is
used to write and
execute programs
or scripts to
automate tasks or
extend the
functionality of
the software. It
provides tools for
writing code and
often supports
languages like
Visual basic .NET,
JavaScript or
Python.
Variables
• In Visual Basic .NET, a variable
is like a container that holds
information. Think of it as a
box where you can put
things, like numbers or
words, to use later in your
program.
Public & Private Variables And Their Use:
• Public Variables:
• Public variables are like items you put on display in a store for everyone to see and use.
• They can be accessed and changed from anywhere in your program.
• They're useful when you want different parts of your program to share information easily.

• Private Variables:
• Private variables are like items kept in a secret room that only you can access.
• They can only be accessed and changed within the same place (like a room or function) where
they are declared.
• They're useful when you want to keep certain information private and prevent other parts of your
program from accidentally changing it.
• Example:

• In this code:
• We have a Person class
representing a person.
• Each person has a name that
anyone can know (name).
• Each person also has an age,
which only they know (age).
This is private.
• We have methods SetAge() and
GetAge() to change and retrieve
the age safely.
• In the main program, we create
a person named "John", give
him an age of 25, and then
show his name and age.
Code Description:
Common Data Types
• Integer (int): Used to store whole numbers without decimal points.
Example: 5, -10, 1000.
• Float/Double: Used to store numbers with decimal points.
Example: 3.14, -0.5, 10.0.
• String: Used to store text or a sequence of characters.
Example: "Hello, World!", "Python", "12345".
• Boolean (bool): Used to store true/false values.
Example: True, False.
• Character (char): Used to store a single character.
Example: 'a', 'X', '!'.
