Sounds good. Skim through the posts (especially the IRC logs), let me know what you want to work on so I can add you to the website, and if you can, turn up to the next meeting at Sunday 8pm CST.

I tried the Hello, World program that tama wrote in sharpdevelop, and I got an error that said ReadKey() was not in System. I took it out and it worked fine. But what do I need to make ReadKey work?

>I got an error that said ReadKey() was not in System.
ReadKey is new with C# 2.0. Get the latest version of the .NET framework and C# compiler and things will work nicely. That's why I suggested that you get Visual C# 2005 Express to get you started. It would save you the trouble of versioning source code. That's a big problem with C++ and Java. I would love to avoid it with C#.

I downloaded visual c# express and it took forever. Then after it was done installing everything it didn't work, so i downloaded #develop. Is there any other program besides vc#express and #develop that it will work on?

Try my code below... It was coded in MS Studio .NET but should also work in #Develop, MCS/Mono also... Good to see you are interested in the project. I have a bit of network code (to support multiple clients) that you can take a stab at if you are interested.

(Toggle Plain Text)

using System;

namespace test
{
	class Class1
	{
		[STAThread]
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			Console.Write("Enter your name: ");
			string name = Console.ReadLine();
			Console.WriteLine("Hello {0}!",name);
		}
	}
}

What does [STATread] mean?

BlazingWolf · Jan 18th, 2005, 9:28 PM

I know I'm kind of floating you off topic but I have a bit of advice.

Before you dive right into C# get a thorough understanding of OOP(Object-Oriented Programming). I found trying to learn OOP in C# very difficult. However I went also programmed some PHP at the time and found that programming PHP with OOP help me understand how I could use C# and OOP.

Thats just my word of advice. As far as what other langauge to learn first. I would recommend PHP but you may have no use for that.

Mono/mcs also runs on Winblows if anybody cares :-)

however, linux is far supreme :-P

Infinite Recursion · Jan 18th, 2005, 10:04 PM

[StatThread] is not really needed in that example, just some extra stuff that my compiler threw in. Its a marker of sorts that indicates when the execution starts.

dark_omen · Jan 20th, 2005, 12:18 PM

I already know the basics of oop. I know c++ and that uses oop.

So, [STAThread] is not really important or necessary, and if I were to leave it out it would still compile?
