More Information and System Requirements
System Requirements
You can use the sample files with any version of Microsoft Visual C# .NET Standard Edition,
or any version of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Edition.
To run Visual C# .NET, you need to be running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP. A
600-Mhz Pentium III is recommended with at least 160 megabytes of memory,
2 gigabytes of free disk space (4.2 gigabytes for Visual Studio .NET), and a
video display capable of a resolution at least 1024 by 768 with 256 colors.
If you’re specifically running Visual C# .NET Version 2002 (but not Visual
C# .NET Version 2003 or later editions, or any version of Visual Studio .NET)
you’ll need to add a little file to your installation that lets you create empty
projects. Visit the link above, Charles Petzold's Web site for the Key of C# book,
for further details.
If you don't have Visual C# .NET, you can download the author's Key of C# program.
To use Key of C#, you first need to download and install the .NET Framework Software
Development Kit (SDK). Any version of the .NET Framework SDK is fine for the book.
You need to be running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or a later version of Windows.
If you’ve previously installed Visual C# .NET, you can also install and use
Key of C# without downloading the .NET Framework SDK. Everything in the
SDK is included in Visual C# .NET.
If you’re comfortable working on the MS-DOS command line under Microsoft Windows
and you want to get a better feel for how programmers worked back in
the old days, you can simply download and install the .NET Framework SDK
(or install Visual C# .NET) and open up an MS-DOS Command Prompt window.
Refer to the author's Web site for more information about using the book with
the command-line C# compiler.
Installing the Sample Files
To install the book's sample files, click the link entitled "Download the book's sample files." This download link
opens an InstallShield executable containing a license agreement. You'll need to accept the license agreement
before copying the files to your hard disk. By default, the sample files will be copied to the folder
C:\My Documents\Microsoft Press\Key of C, but you will be given an opportunity to change the destination folder
during the installation. A menu item "Programming in Key of C" will be created under "Microsoft Press"
in your list of All Programs. Note: if you are using a system running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0,
Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you will need
administrative privileges in order to install the sample files.
Uninstalling the Sample Files
To remove the sample files, make the appropriate selection from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
