New to C#
-
Hi I have just downloaded Visual C# 2008 and I am trying to get a handle on it. I have a bit of programming experience. I want to implement this code http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/TransparentControls.aspx[^]but i have no idea how to implement it. I can load the demo I just have no idea what is going on. how do you apply the source code to a new project to implement the SkinTooltip control. Can someone either let me know a good place to go and learn or even give me a bit of a walk through. Thanks

Hi I am fairly new to C# too. You can find help in the page in the C# section or just Google C# tutorial. "C# Station" was a big help at the beginning. Maybe you cannot implement the code because most examples and tutorials were written using C# 2005 I recommend you download and use that version at least while you learn the basics. 2008 is not much different but most of the code material was written in 2005 version.

Hi, you seem to have two issues here. One is a new language, the other Windows programming. IMO a language is best learned by studying an introductory book or tutorial on the language; that way you get all the basic elements presented in a logical order, with examples and rationale. You can get a good feeling for a language in a matter of say two weeks with a book and some experiments; this of course depends on your background. Then start reading some articles on sites like this one. Windows programming is a lot trickier; there sure are books that may help you with that too, but I am afraid there is a much longer learning period. Tooltips are OK, not quite straightforward though. Transparency is really tricky. I have been a Windows programmer for 20 years now, but I would not volunteer explaining how transparency works (also due to the fact that I'm not that interested in it). Hope this helps. :)

Cool you are new to C#, may I suggest you try simpler tasks first.

You can either compile it as a dll library and reference it, I did this earlier. Or, you can add a source file to your project and just add it in.

You came to the right place, this site is loaded with a lot of good help :)
