V isual Studio 2019 works, in most cases, in much the same way as earlier editions of Visual
Studio. However, the New Project dialog has been changed. This is a brief guide to explain
how to create a new project in Visual Studio 2019.

Create a New Project At Startup

If you want to create a new project as soon as you start Visual Studio 2019…
 Start Visual Studio.
 In the Startup screen, select Create A New Project

If you don’t want to create a new project at this stage, you can click ‘Continue without code’. You can
start a new project later on as explained below.

return 0;
}

Shortcut Project Creation

Alternatively, you can select a project type more quickly by using the search box on the Create New
Project dialog. For example, with a C# Windows Forms project, you could search for Winforms. For
a C project, you could search for C++:

Once you’ve created a new project, the procedures for adding and editing files, compiling and
debugging are the same in Visual 2019 as in other versions of Visual Studio (as explained throughout
this course). I hope that helps.
