6.) Properties Window - used to display the properties of a selected
item in either solution explorer such as a file or a control in the design
window.
7.) Output Window - mainly used to observe build progression during
project compilation. It is important to keep an eye on this panel while
building, as several useful information will show up in this area.
a) warnings
b) function deprecautions
c) compile errors
8.) Text Editor - where programmers write the code.

b) It is easy to learn and simple to use.
c) It has a huge community support.
d) C# is an object oriented language which gives a clear structure to
programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development
costs.
e) As C# is close to C, C++ and Java, it makes it easy for
programmers to switch to C# or vice versa.

DETAILS IN CREATING A VISUAL C#
REVIEW PROJECT
solution - by default, Visual Studio will name this similar to your
project.
clarity - this plays an important role in software development as it
would be beneficial to separate names of both project and solution.
F5 - after clicking this shortcut key, a command prompt window will
appear that contains a specific line.
// - these characters convert the rest of the line to a comment.
comment - this can also be declared by a block of text, enlosing it
between the /* and */ characters.
namespace - this is a collection of classes.
Main method - this is a type of method that the C# console
application must contain. It is where the program control starts and
ends and where the main program/process is written.
WriteLine method - is is a type of method that is one of the output
commands for console class, which displays the string parameter
followed by a new line.
using System - including this directive at the beginning of the
progam allows you to use input and output operations.
IntelliSense feature - Visual Studio has this feature that provides
instant code completion while coding. It appears whenever you
start entering the syntax and display options on how to complete
the statement. And this also indicates that you are entering the
correct syntax.
