Yep. Where depends on what solution type you selected. For example, a console application will have a familiar 'main.cs' that works the same as a C/C++ one. A Windows Forms solution will create a project within it (you can have multiple projects in a solution), and in that project will be a 'program.cs' that runs the form. > Part > of the generated code?

Visual Studio (or any comparable IDE) has a bit of a learning curve in itself, before you even get to coding in anger. You could start very simple with a text editor and the command line compilers for .NET, or a simpler IDE like SharpDevelop. But yes, there is a fair bit of 'scaffolding' in any of these, however you rarely have to deal with any of it directly. > > At present, I will create a game for my use.
