Hello, World

As is customary in the world of computers, I had to start with a Hello World.

Linked is a collection of Hello World programs written in a variety of languages

Here's a simple example of what you could do with the Windows Forms and C# in the 2.0 release (compatible with the publicly released beta http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/)

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace HelloWhidbey

{

      class HelloForm:Form

      {

            [STAThread]static void Main()

            { Application.Run(new HelloForm()); }

            public HelloForm()

            {

                  Text = "Hello, World!" + new string(' ', 20);

                  Timer t = new Timer();

                  t.Tick += delegate { Text = Text.Substring(1) + Text.Substring(0, 1); };

                  t.Start();

            }

      }

}
