The QuickStart Tutorials are installed with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, provided the QuickStart Samples setup option is selected during setup. The tutorials provide sample code and descriptions for quickly learning tasks in the following areas:

• ASP.NET

• ASP.NET Web Services

• Common Tasks

In most cases, code examples are provided both in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 and Microsoft Visual C# 2005.

Also available on the Web are the Visual J# 2005 Express Edition and other Late Breaking QuickStart Tutorials.

For examples of using Windows Forms, see Windows Forms Controls Samples.
