Create a Hello World application in C#

I assume that readers of this post are new to C# and have basic knowledge in programming and software application installation in Windows.

  1. Download the C# Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (You can download the free express version)
  2. After downloading the IDE, install it.
  3. The latest version of the C# IDE as of this writing is the C# express 2008 version.
  4. On the upper left corner, you can find a window-like box. Click on "Project..." next to the "Create" label. The following window will appear:
  5. the default project name is WindowsFormsApplication1. Change it to your desired project name.
  6. After clicking the Ok button, the following should appear:
  7. Program.cs is the main program file which calls the Form1.cs so that when you run the application, the form appears firsthand.
  8. On the Toolbox tab at the left side of the IDE, drag and drop a "Label" control to the form.
  9. The "Label" control has its own properties which can be accessed from the lower right portion of the IDE. Look for the property labeled with "Text" and change its value with "Hello World".
  10. Run the program by pressing F5. You now have created a Hello World application.

How to register a business name

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee. The registration shall be valid for five (5) years. A surcharge of Php 100.00 is imposed if renewal is filed beyond the three (3) month grace period, c...

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va...

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...
