The ''New Project'' dialog provides a number of options with regard to the type of project being created. In this example we are going to build a Windows Application. A Windows Application is a graphical application (in other words an application that appears in a window and contains buttons, text fields and all the other graphical items we expect to see when we run Microsoft Windows applications).
Select the ''Windows Application'' icon from the New Project dialog and give your new project a name by typing it into the ''Name:'' field (for example you might want to name your project "VBexample"). Click on the ''OK'' button to create the project. Once the project is created Visual Studio will display the new project, which at this poitn point consists of a single form, ready for us to start adding visual components:

Now that we have created a new project in Visual Studio it is time to move on to the next chapter and create a simple Visual Basic application.
