C# Book Snippet (Jorndels C# Book)C# Book Snippet (Jorndels C# Book)
Well, since some people prefer text instead of video. I decided to make this tutorial to see if my C# Book. (Writing it) Will be understand able 
First of all we need to start, you need to install: Visual C# Express 2010
This is a free ware, so after 30 days you just register and you have it
Now, install it and we will be ready to start
Let's create a New Project:
Now we will create an Windows Application Form
Now we will look on some basic stuff.
First of all we will have a look at the ToolBox and the Properties.
What we will use most is the stuff in the: Common Controls
Let's expend it and look what we will use...
(I might have some more or less in it, but mainly we have the same)
Okey, now lets Drag & Drop a Button from the ToolBox onto our Form1.
Now, we can re-size it by dragging the white squares on the ends or sides of the button.
Now you know how to re-size it, you can also move it by holding the mouse down (on the control/button) and move it to where you want.
Here we have the options we usually use when we modify our controls.
Most of the options you see there can be done with coding, but not all of them are easy to do.
I have marked some of the most common used properties for the button here:
You can play around with the properties to get a better understanding of them.
Now we will look into some basic coding, so you will have a basic knowledge of what we will work with later on.
To access the coding page, we can right click and select the: View Code
But, we won't do that now. Since there is nothing there for us now
Double-Click the Button1 (This will create the default event for the button. Which is 'Click')
Now, lets create an very simple function:
MessageBox.Show("MyMessage");
And keep in mind that you have to add it in the button1_click event
Mark the: { } - I like to call the: { for the Open Code/Function Mark, and the: } for the Close Code/Function Mark
I will release more once I write more.
I would really need some feedback on this.

If Statement
Now, lets look on the If|Else Statement. This is used to check if something is true/false or just to check something 
Here is an example:
This will do the: Else Statement.
Why? Because I did an: If "name" is equal too "you"
And that would not be the same value as the "name".
Code:
If(Argument1 == Argument2)
{
//We will do something
}
else
{
//We do something
}
This will do the: Else Statement.
Why? Because I did an: If "name" is equal too "you"
And that would not be the same value as the "name".
Declareing Variables
So let's look a little on how we can declare variables / values.
First of all we have mainly two ways we declare a variable.
1:
Okey, here I have done two things.
First: I declared a variable with the 'name' - Name.
But I didn't 'declare' the content of the variable Name.
Second: I declared a variable with the 'name' - Name2.
But here I did declare the content, as "Jorndel" - My Online Name
(Note, if you see the RED line under the: Name in the If statement. That means it can't use something that is nothing to check it with a variable that is something. (Your Program would not be able to debug...)
2:
(Now, you see the RED line is gone? That is because we didn't create it in the same method as we used it in.)
The same here as before. (The First and Second)
But this time I made it 'public'. That means I can use it in any of my events / methods I am to make.
This allow you to set the value: Name to something in an other method / event and then use the button1_click event to check if the name is 'Jorndel'
Let me Demonstrate:
As you see, now I sat the value of Name equal to "Jorndel". (By pressing the Button2)
Mark: When you use 1: = that means you set a value to the variable. 2: == Means you check the value.
Look more on these 'checking' ways here: Operators
