Sprint 2: Create the app project

Our buddies over on the app team are behind schedule; apparently, their days are mostly spent debating the color scheme of the app windows and whether to build it using WinForms or WPF. So for now, we're going to just create a placeholder app so we have something to install. If we guess wrong about what the app team ends up doing, we'll just fix it.

To create the app project in Visual Studio:

  1. Right-click the solution and choose Add|New Project.
  2. Select C# in the languages drop-down.
  3. Select Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) in the project template list.
  4. Choose Next.
  5. Enter App as the project name.
  6. Choose Create.
