C# Beginner Question - Visual Studio adds some stuff.
Author
Hi guys,
I'm trying to learn C# at school when I have access to the new .NET (I only have the free IDEs and I don't really like SharpDevelop that much).
However, VS adds some stuff I don't know what it does / what its purpose is, and I was wondering if someone could give me a hand and if its neccessary for a Visual Studio app or not or what the deal is:
Do I have to keep those summary comments? Or are they just for some fancy documentation that I'm never going to use anyways?
But more importantly, what does [STAThread] do and is that neccessary?
Those comments aren't necessary they are added by the application wizards that are part of VS. Although a auto documentor application like doxygen could be used to read those summary tags to produce class help files sort of an automatic documentation writer (sort of!). As for the [STAThread] bit this tells C# that the COM threading model for the application is single-threaded apartment (STA). I believe this entry is required if you plan on using COM object (ActiveX) in your application. Its probably best to leave it there.
As above the stathread is to do with the threading model for the app, and the string[] args inside the main, is used when you want to pass command line arguments to the application.
