Creating a basic one is pretty easy, creating a good one (a rich one that serves the user instead of the programmer) is somewhat more difficult. Start with something easy, like a button in a window that prints some text when you click it.Patmian212 said:

13,000 lines isn't that much code. The project at work has more than 290,000 lines of code. I've been on the project for 2.5 years, so it wouldn't be that far-fetched to think that I've written 20,000+ lines of code since I've been here.Patmian212 said:
13000 lines of code is not earth-shattering but it's a sizable amount. The dev shop that I work at currently has several hundred thousand lines of code between four projects. I recently got done with a sample application that will be distributed to our customers to show how to use our main COM automation interface. It's 4000 lines of code for a sample! I don't understand why I am asked to do the things I do sometimes... pays the bills though. Plus it was my first chance to work with C# - nice language for the most part. I do not like the fact that C# does not have optional arguments for functions - you don't need them, but I think it makes the code more elegant.ChrisBrightwell said:13,000 lines isn't that much code.

Having said that, there's a LOT of functionality to still be implemented.

True, very true. Once you understand the basics, like converting int to char or int to float or vice versa etc. Then you can understand more complex things (for example in Windows case, what an HKEY type is - I think its just int though). Always, when you learn how to, initialize variables, allot memory for them, and clean out what memory is already stored in them. For an example. Write a program that prints out a variable - in C or C++ do this:mwpeters8182 said:

int main()
{
int x;
cout << x << endl << &x << endl;
cin.get(); //the &x tells you the address of x
return 0;
}

No, but explicitly importing it is part of my organization's coding standards. Besides, he asked how to use an import statement. What better way than by example?xwk88 said:
