Resources

Summary

This tutorial is aimed at absolute beginners to programming and describes how to create a couple of very simple programs in Microsoft C#. C# Express Edition is available for free download from Microsfoft and is ideal for learning how to program in an object-orientated way.

The first program in the tutorial takes you step by step through creating a simple program that just allows the user to enter text in an edit box, press a button and display a message box.

The second program in the tutorial describes in detail how to create a program that allows the user to select a image file on their computer (with a file open dialogue box) and displays the image in a scrollable window.

Please download the tutorial in the Resources section above and work through it using Microsoft C#. If you have any trouble creating the progam from the code given in the tutorial, please download the full C# project and try to work out what has gone wrong with yours.

When you are ready go onto the next tutorial.
