Visual Studio 2005 Window Application Project

I am creating a Visual Studio 2005 project. This post will be for the absolute beginners who are not familiar with the Visual Studio environment and how to create the project.

Microsoft has provided best Integrated Development Environments which are easier to learn and programmers love to work with the tools they have provided.

Microsoft has provided the free versions for Visual Studio and currently Visual Studio 2012 is going to be launched which will be hope so more better then its previous version Visual Studio 2010.

Visual Studio Express editions are free to download and develop desktop and web applications.

Check below links for downloading Visual Studio different versions:

Visual Studio 2005 
Visual Studio is launched in 2005.
Visual Studio 2008 
Visual Studio 2008 is launched in 2008.
Visual Studio 2010 
Visual Studio 2010 is launched in 2010.
Visual Studio 2012

Step 1 (Open Visual Studio 2005):
Open Visual Studio 2005 using Programs menu. The initial form that gets loaded after Visual Studio 2005 gets open. Below is the screen shot for Visual Studio 2005 Start Page.



Step 2 (Create New Project):
To create a New Project in Visual Studio 2005 click on File menu and select Project option from New sub menu as shown in screen below. You can also use short cut key Ctrl+Shift+N.




Step 3 (New Project Creation Dialog):
When a New Project option is selected then a New Project form gets loaded which show the different Project Types which can be created in Visual Studio 2005 along with the templates within each Project Type. I have highlighted all the parts contained in New Project form.


Step 4 (New Project in Visual Studio):
Below is the default project screen which gets loaded in Visual Studio 2005. I have added few changes to complete my example. Like I have added a Label from Toolbox which I have highlighted in the below screen. I have also highlighted the Solution Explorer portion which contains all the files contained in the project. Below it is the Properties Panel which is showing properties for the Label on the form having text My First Window Application. In the menu portion I have highlighted the Debug button to debug and Run the project. I have shown a form which gets loaded after I clicked on this Debug button.




Step 5 (Debug and Run Project):
In the above screen shot I have highlighted the Debug menu button. When I clicked on it then project gets build first and then it got Run and our application gets loaded as shown in form below which is the only form contained in our application. Its same concept like Index page in Websites.
