This chapter looked at one of the most important programming tools in the .NET environment — Visual Studio 2005. The bulk of the chapter examined how this tool facilitates writing code in C# (and C++ and Visual Basic 2005).
Visual Studio 2005 is one of the easiest development environments to work with in the programming world. You will find that Visual Studio makes RAD development easy to achieve, but at the same time, you can dig deep in the mechanics of how your applications are created. This chapter took a close look at using Visual Studio for everything from refactoring, to reading in Visual Studio 6 projects, to debugging, plus many of the windows available to Visual Studio.
Chapter 15 looks at assemblies in detail.
