Web Developer http://www.nirandas.com ----- Original Message ----- From: jaffar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 9:54 PM Subject: changing programming environment in VS2008 Hi All. How do I change my developer settings from one language to another in visual studio 2008? I want to change my default programming environment from say, visual c++ to cSharp. I am also finding it a problem to build and run a very simple test cSharp code. I am sure my code is entirely right, but the error seems to be from within the assembly.cs file. If anyone can spot an error in this 4 line test code, I'd like to know I have left out part of the generated code from the ide. { // Output test text to the screen Console.WriteLine("This is a test!"); Console.ReadKey(); } As far as i can see, the test code i have written should work just fine. O, I'm running Vs2008 on WinXp Pro on the .net3.5 platform.
