Starting with Visual C#

I've been digging into a decent book on Microsoft Visual C# 2008 by Patrice Pelland, and I really like the format of the book, as it's very hobby-programmer friendly.  Not too many scary concepts or heavy coding, but rather a very visually-oriented spin through the basics of working with this particular IDE.

I'd like to check out some other titles in this series, as I think they have a good thing here for those who are still getting their feet wet in the coding world.  And again the inclusion of a lot of visual images, to make sure that you are seeing what you are supposed to be seeing, is a nice touch.

Here are some of the first few programs that I put together, posted here mostly as a reference for me to revisit if needed:

Console application example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace MyFirstConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // declaring two ingeger variables that will hold
            // the two parts of the sum and one integer variable to
            // hold the sum;
           
            int number1;
            int number2;
            int sum;
            // Assigning two values to the integer variables
            number1 = 10;
            number2 = 5;
            // adding the two integers and storing the result in the
            // sum variable
            sum = (number1 + number2);
            // displaying a string with the two numbers and the result.
            Console.WriteLine("The sum of " + number1.ToString() + " and " + number2.ToString() + " is " + sum.ToString());

        }
    }
}


Window Application example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace MyFirstWindowApplication
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                        // declaring two ingeger variables that will hold
            // the two parts of the sum and one integer variable to
            // hold the sum;
           
            int number1;
            int number2;
            int sum;
            // Assigning two values to the integer variables
            number1 = 10;
            number2 = 5;
            // adding the two integers and storing the result in the
            // sum variable
            sum = (number1 + number2);
            // displaying a string with the two numbers and the result.
            MessageBox.Show("The sum of " + number1.ToString() + " and " + number2.ToString()
                + " is " + sum.ToString() + ".");
        }
    }
}
