Running a Simple Program in J#

I guess your expecting "Hello world" should appear in the Win Form right? But nothing will appear in Form because you are writing to Standard output which is not WinForm in case of Windows Applications.

If we want to print something in WinForm, you should add few WinForm controls like textbox and text field.

Steps to add WinForm controls to WinForm

- Open Form1.jsl[Design],

- Click View--> toolbax to get view all Win Controls

- Expand AllWindows Forms and drag and drop either TextBox

- In Form1_Load(Object sender, System.EventArgs e), add textBox1.set_Text("Hello World"); this line and execute it.

If you are new to WinForm then try playing with Calculator startup kit which you can find under "File --> New project" Project Types: Visual J# --> Starter Kit in Visual Studio 8 , 2005.

That's the problem ..there is no Play button.
So I did select Start(without debugging) from the debug menu and
another window pops up "Just in Time Debugging" and it wants me to select
a debugger and it asks whether I want to debug with the selected debugger?
I do not know which debugger to select so I answer the question with a NO!
Nothing happens. BTW, where does the output for System.out. println go?
Which window displays it? Thanks so much!!!

Thanks so much...I made it a console application and output is written to it but
the output is some kind of error "unhandled exception System.Security.Security Exception: Security Error". Do I need to change something? I have administrator privilege on the machine. Thanks so much for your help....I'm thinking about not using Visual NET and going to JCreator or JBuilder or NetBeans!!!!

If you are not bothered about any Exception and want to ignore them then put your code that starts WinApp in try, catch block.

Something like this

public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
// your code
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{

}
}

Visual Studio with .NET offers you many features which will help you to develop any application in effective and efficient manner. I’m sure you will appreciate once you get hands on experience with the language.

Hi,
Great to know that you could get it working.
Yeah, you can create JOptionPane in J# and J# supports Swing classes. You need to refer vjssupuilib.dll in your project and then import javax.swing.* in your code file. This will make all the J* classes visible in your code file.

To add a reference to vjssupuilib.dll...

1. Right click on project node in soln explorer.
2. Select Add References... from context menu.
3. In Add Reference Dialog box, select .Net pane.
4. Select vjssupuilib.dll.
5. Click ok.

Thanks.

Thanks so much that worked beautifully! I has to download vjssupulib from a website. I had another question but it's related to Visual Basic NET. How do
I get the printouts (code, form as text, form image) like I got in Visual Basic 6.0.
This is how I grade assignments they print code and form as text!! Help or please
refer me to someone who can help.

I figured out a way to get the "form as text" info.
Before print Expand the section that says "Windows Form Designer generated code". I need this so that I can see what the students created on their form.
It also helps me find the cheaters. (Those with th same EXACT form layout.)

I have another problem. My VB kids cannot run their applications!!! They
do Start without debugging and an error comes up "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. Access denied. Verify that you are an administrator or a member of the 'Debug Users' group..."
I cannot add each user to the debug users group of each machine...sometimes kids switch machines . How to I get around this? What can I change in .NET's security ...HELP
