3. First Projects > Start Visual Studio
Start Visual Studio
Start Visual C# Express 2010 (if you use the full version of Visual Studio 2010, start Visual Studio 2010 instead). The installer (see Step 1: Install Visual Studio Express) created a folder and shortcut for this program in your Start menu under All Programs (Windows Vista or Windows 7) or Programs (Windows XP).
The Visual Studio programming environment will start. Now you’re ready to create your first project:
-
Click on the New Project link. If no link is visible, go to the File menu and select New Project.
-
The New Project window should now pop up. Visual Studio displays a set of installed templates. We want to pick Visual C#?Micro Framework from the list on the left. Then pick Netduino Application from the list on the right. Give your project a name such as Blinky (as shown in Figure 3-1), and click OK.
