When you first load Visual Studio, the application will display a Start Page that looks something like this, depending on which version of Visual Studio you have installed. This is Visual Studio Ultimate, but any version will be fine.
Click on New Project in the upper-left corner.
Next, Visual Studio will display the New Project dialog. Again, the details of this dialog will change a little depending on which version of Visual Studio you have installed. Don’t let that throw you. Just choose WPF Application from the Windows category of Visual C# projects.
You can leave the application and solution names as “WPFApplication1”, or change it to anything you like. Same with the location. (You might want to create a directory just for the projects you’ll be creating for this book.)
