Step 1: Creating a New Windows Forms Solution
- Select File | New Project... from the Visual Studio menu. This launches Visual Studio's New Project dialog:

- On the left side of the dialog, select Visual C# or Visual Basic. On the right side of the dialog under your language of choice, select MM .NET.
- In the Templates pane in the center, select MM .NET Windows Forms Application.
- In the Name text box, enter the name you want to give your new project. By default, Visual Studio gives the solution containing the new project the same name.
- In the Location text box, enter the directory in which you want to create the new project (or click the Browse button to select a directory). Visual Studio creates a new folder under this directory that is given the same name as your project and solution.
- Click OK to continue. This closes the dialog and opens the New MM .NET Windows Forms Project dialog:
This is an MM .NET-specific dialog that allows you to specify a default, or root namespace.
- Specify a Default Namespace (Root Namespace in VB .NET). The builder automatically stores this namespace in your Windows Forms project properties.
- Click OK to create your new project(s). When project creation is complete, you can see your new project(s) in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer:
