What is Visual Programming with C#?

Visual programming (English visual programming) occupies an important place as the development area of the C# language. However, in order to understand what visual programming is, one must first know what programming is.

Programming, in its simplest form, is the work of writing software that communicates between a machine and a human. Software, on the other hand, can be defined as command lines that we create so that we can use the machines. For example, when we buy the device so that we can use our computers, there are certain command lines, namely software.

Computers run on operating systems and all other programs are configured to run on those operating systems. Just as these systems are software, the applications that will run on these systems are also software.

So how do we command machines? How do we communicate with machines? In order to create these software, a common language is needed between the machine and the programmer. This language is also called a programming language. It finds many programming languages currently in use. C# is just one of these languages.

What is visual programming?

Software developers can do the programming without a visual interface. Visual programming is needed for the programs to be used by all computer users. For this, various visual elements are translated into the program. This work, which is done through visual programming languages, basically aims to make programs more understandable .

Visual programming is accomplished through the design and code environment. The combination of design and code makes programming work much simpler. If you want to learn visual programming, you can start with the Windows Form Application template.

Windows Form Application

The template that uses the standard graphics of the Windows operating system in the C# programming language is called Windows Form Application. In this template, which has classes such as Form, TextBox, CheckBox, RadioButton, ComboBox, ListBox, DataGridView, a separate task is defined for each class. Many applications can be developed using the code library here.

We have explained here how we can make a calculator using Windows Form Application before.

You can find all information about Windows Form Application and C#, which presents the design screen and the coding screen as two tabs side by side, in the Visual Programming with C# book. Prepared as a book and video training set, the resource serves as an ideal starter kit to learn Microsoft's C# programming language from scratch.
