One Step Further: Exiting Visual Studio

One Step Further: Exiting Visual Studio

Each chapter in this book concludes with a section entitled “One Step Further” that enables you to practice an additional skill related to the topic at hand. After the “One Step Further” tutorial, I've compiled a Quick Reference table that reprises the important concepts discussed in each chapter.

When you're finished using Visual Studio for the day, save any projects that are open, and close the development environment. Give it a try.

Exit Visual Studio

1. Save any changes you've made to your program by clicking the Save All button on the Standard toolbar.

   As you learned in the preceding section, the default behavior in Visual Studio 2005 is that you give your program a name when you begin a project or solution, but you don't specify a file location and save the project until you click the Save All button or the Save All command on the File menu. You've made a few changes to your project, so you should save your changes now.

2. On the File menu, click the Exit command.

   The Visual Studio program closes. Time to move on to your first program in Chapter 2!
