In Brief

In this chapter, we looked at managing code and projects. Here's an overview of the key topics:

  • C#Builder hosts a full-featured debugger with flexible code navigation, standard and conditional breakpoints, and the ability to view application state windows for Disassembly, Modules, Event Log, Call Stack, Local Variables, Thread Status, and Watches.

  • Project management is much more than running a wizard and letting C#Builder create project files. Unless you're just practicing, a little more planning needs to go into the process of setting up projects. Additionally, the C#Builder project manager has a few different options for building, compiling, and running programs that you should be aware of.

  • The Object Inspector is an IDE window for managing properties for design-time components. Changes in properties or events reflect immediately in the underlying code base and vice versa.

  • To see what .NET and ActiveX components are available, open the Installed .NET Components dialog from the Components menu. Any .NET components that are checked appear in the Tool Palette, where they can be dragged and dropped onto the designer surface. The Installed .NET Components dialog also has a list of paths that C#Builder searches to find .NET components.

  • Model view allows you to browse the contents of namespaces and types so that you can get a feel for how a project is organized and how it works. The Model View window helps navigate to code and diagrams. Diagrams are industry standard UML diagrams and illustrate the relationships and contents of objects in a project. The Overview window helps navigate the entire diagram quickly.
