Here is a video of showing you how to add a standard windows control to a form in a C# Windows application.

Yep, it is that simple. All you need to do is open up the toolbox then click and drag the control to the desired location on the form. You can then make adjustments to its location using either your mouse by clicking and dragging. Alternatively, you can select the control on form and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move it in one pixel increments.

The short story:

Microsoft has been kind enough to include everything that you need in one easy installation executable which you can find here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce&displaylang=en

Simply click ‘Download’ on the ‘vm_web.exe’ file. Once it has downloaded run the application and follow the prompts.

The Long Story:

Microsft Visual Studio 2010

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or,
Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express Edition or,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition or,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition

I would suggest using the free Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition as it has all the functionality you need.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0

Get it here

Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0

Get it here

In addition to these any requirements mentioned above you will also want to make sure that you have a computer running Windows with a graphics card that supports, at a minimum, Shader Model 1.1 and DirectX 9.0c. However, it is recommended that you have a card that supports DirectX 10 and Shader Model 2.0.

I have recently found the site in a bit of a state… We got hacked and the site was trashed….

However, I am trying to get things back in order and restoring the previous content as well as launching the a few new articles which should of been published but sadly did not.

I will also take this opportunity to update the look and feel of the site so any feedback is more than welcome!

Please stick around and enjoy the upcoming posts.

Cheers,
