running and testing the application

After you have successfully built the application, you need to run it and test it.

For many development environments, running and testing is often the most difficult part of the 

application development cycle. However, Visual Studio 2012 has yet another ace up its sleeve: the 

integrated debugger. The debugger has a rich set of features with which you can easily perform run-

time debugging, such as setting breakpoints and variable watches.

Creating an executable application—practice

Go ahead and start Visual Studio 2012. An invitingly blank window appears on your screen.

This window is the powerful Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). It contains 

all the tools you’ll need to create full-featured, easy-to-use applications.

Note  This book was written by using the Release Candidate (RC) version of Visual Studio 

2012. As a result, screen shots and other details might differ from the version you’re using 

when you read this.
