Type of Entity:
C#

Abstract:
When you are ready to begin coding, the first step is to set up a project. The project contains all the raw materials for your application, including not only the source code files, but also resource files such as icons, references to external files that your program depends on, and configuration data such as compiler settings. When you build a project, Visual C# invokes the C# compiler and other internal tools to create an executable assembly using the files in your project.
