Beginning C# 7 Hands-On ?????? The Core Language

Customizing Visual Studio to Make it Feel More Personal

In this chapter, we will configure the appearance of Visual Studio a little further.

Customizing Visual Studio

To get started with customizing Visual Studio, click in the Quick Launch box in the upper right-hand corner, as shown in the following screenshot. Then, enter a word, such as font, and select the first item:

Figure 1.2.1: Searching for font settings options

Selecting the text editor font and size

From here, you can configure many different settings. For example, you can select a Text Editor, which controls the size of the code in the window so that it's easy to read. The font size should be something big, such as 20—it makes a real difference; that is, when you are learning, how big things are makes a difference. They're easier to understand simply because they're bigger. Refer to the following screenshot to see how this is done:

Figure 1.2.2: Selecting the text editor font and size

Selecting the Statement Completion font and size

In the next stage, we will customize the Statement Completion settings, as shown in the following screenshot. This is a very useful feature that makes coding more efficient. Again, set it to something big:

Figure 1.2.3: Selecting the Statement Completion font and size

Selecting the Environment font and size

Next, let's configure the Environment fonts. Again, there are many possible options. One that I use very commonly is Segoe UI. Once more, set it to something big, for example,18; that is, something easy to read in any case, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 1.2.4: Selecting the Environment font and size

Click on OK when you're finished. Some of these changes take effect immediately and some don't. For example, as you will see with Environment fonts, the text enlarges immediately.

Positioning Visual Studio panels

Now, one thing that's useful is being able to position some of the panels. What do I mean by this? Try the following.

Click on View and then select Solution Explorer—that's a window or a panel. You can position this panel in many places. If you click where it says Solution Explorer and drag it, you can liberate this panel and then place it where you like. You are also given a really nice preview of what to expect once it drops. So, if you drag the Solution Explorer and hover your mouse at the top box located on the cross, a transparent blue area appears. The blue area tells you that it's going to go across the top. Again, if you click and drag it to the left-hand side of the screen and drop it, the Solution Explorer will be positioned on the left-hand side.

Figure 1.2.5: Positioning the Solutions Explorer window

This is how...

Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed some of the things that you can do to make working in Visual Studio easier.

In the next chapter, we will create a simple C# program and run it.

Key benefits

  • • Learn C#, Visual Studio, and Object Oriented Programming,
  • • See practical examples of all the core C# language features so that you can easily master them yourself
  • • Use the C# 7 programming language to work with code and data, which can be applied to other programming languages as well,
  • • Complete a variety of programming assignments for hands-on practice, as you move through the course.

Description

Beginning C# 7 Hands-On - The Core Language teaches you core C# language and syntax in a working Visual Studio environment. This book covers everything from core language through to more advanced features such as object-oriented programming techniques. This book is for C# 7 beginners who need a practical reference to core C# language features. You'll also gain a view of C# 7 through web programming with web forms, so you'll learn HTML, basic CSS, and how to use a variety of controls, such as buttons and drop-down lists. You'll start with the fundamentals of C# and Visual Studio, including defining variables, interacting with users, and understanding data types, data conversions, and constants. You'll move on to checking conditions using if/else blocks, and see how to use loops to do things such as repeat blocks of code. After covering various operators to evaluate and assign control structures, you'll see how to use arrays to store collections of data. By the time you’ve finished the book, you’ll know how to program the vital elements of the core C# language. These are the building blocks that you can then combine to build complex C# programs.

Who is this book for?

This book will appeal to anyone who is interested in learning how to program in C#. Previous programming experience will help you get through the initial sections with ease, although, it’s not mandatory to possess any experience at all.

What you will learn

  • • Learn C#, Visual Studio, and object-oriented programming
  • • Learn all the core C# 7 language syntax with hands-on working examples
  • • Learn everything from basic variable assignments to complex multidimensional arrays
  • • Go through practical examples of all the core C# 7 language features so that you can easily master them yourself
  • • Use the C# programming language to work with code and data, which can be applied to other programming languages as well

I was expecting a book containing a lot of C# syntax, but sadly the book mostly covers building C# apps for the web, so all of the examples are HTML web front end.

There are several issues with this book. If you are considering buying it, realize that the title itself is deceiving in multiple ways. First, learning the core C# language is not about creating web pages - which is what this book is about. Learning the core elements of a language does not involve web pages or various types of GUI (or visual presentation) forms or such. This book just misses that mark completely. Also, the word "core" has come to mean a totally different thing than how they are using it here. Look it up in Amazon books or just google it. In the .net / C# context, it does not mean "at the heart of" or "central to" as one would think. Bad, deceiving book. Look elsewhere.
