into a project depend on the project type. For example, there are project items that are part of a WPF application but wouldn’t be part of a Console application. Of particular interest in the FirstProgram project is the file named Program.cs (or Module1.vb if programming in VB), which is a code file, as we’ll discuss in the next section.

Examining the Code Skeleton

Having run the New Project Wizard for a Console application, you’ll see a file named Program.cs (or Module.vb) that contains skeleton code in the editor. VS will create skeleton code using built-in templates for most project types that you create. You’re free to add, remove, or modify this code as you see fit. Listing 2-1 contains the skeleton code, which I’ll explain next.

Listing 2-1 Console application skeleton code

C#:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace FirstProgram

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

}

}

}

VB:

Module Module1

Sub Main()

End Sub

End Module
