Add ReplyHello,
I just came over from mainly programing console applications to giving windows forms and .NET a try. One major question I had was writing output to the screen. The classic example that is always done is the "Hello World" application. With a console app. a simple cout<<"Hello World"<<endl will output that to a console. I was wondering how would I code this using windows Forms and C#. I know about the console.write method in C# but that goes back to console applications and I want to get it to work with windows Forms.
Thank you for your time and help.

The equivalent of a Hello World console application that shows output in the MS-DOS console is to show a dialog with the same message in a Windows Application upon form load or the click of a button. Here's how you show that message when the form loads (and thus the application starts):
If you're using Visual Studio, the first thing you should to is to create a Windows Application project. Then double click the form that was created for you by Visual Studio. You will get to its Load even that looks like this:
{
}
Inside it paste this code:
MessageBox.Show("Hello World!");
Now compile and run using F5.
