Introduction
This Tutorial will help you configure Visual Studio 2005 and create your first LVM DOTNET application. This tutorial does not cover any .NET languages. (This tutorial will use Visual C# Express Edition)
If you don't have Visual Studio, you can use Visual C# Express Edition from Microsoft.

Start
Once you have Visual Studio loaded, perform the following actions:
- File -> New Project
- Choose Windows Application
- Name: ISXHelloWorld
- Note: If you are creating a project that will need ISXWarden protection, the Project Name and all forms should be prefixed with ISX.
- Click OK
At this point you should have your first LVM DOTNET project! In order to prepare the project to work with LVM DOTNET perform the following actions:
Configure your application to use a Strong Name:
- Project -> ISXHelloWorld Properties
- Choose the Signing Tab
- Check the Checkbox: Sign the Assembly
- Under the Choose a Strong Name Key File choose New...
- When the Create A Strong Key Name dialog Box appears choose a Key File Name. You an also choose a password if you desire one.
Now that you have configured your applcation to use a Strong Name, configure your applcation to add itself to the GAC automatically:
- Project -> ISXHelloWorld Properties
- Choose the Build Events Tab
- In the Post Build Events Command Line Window, enter the following code:
- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i "$(TargetPath)"
- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /l "$(ProjectName)">"$(ProjectDir)name.txt"
- (Update the path of .NET 2.0 to match yours if you choose a different installation directory)
