Chapter 17. Visually Designing Objects

Visual Studio 2010 is a great place for writing code. It offers a powerful code editor with the presence of IntelliSense that dramatically simplifies your coding experience. Writing code is only one aspect of application development. Architecting objects before writing code is as important as writing the code itself. Visual Studio is powerful enough to let you reach both objectives at one time: graphically designing objects for your applications and contextually writing code related to such objects. The built-in tool that allows performing this task is known as Class Designer, and in this chapter you get a high-level overview of it.
