You can test your programme a number of ways. First, though, it has to be built. This is when everything is checked to see if there are any errors. Try this: From the View menu at the top of Visual C# Express, click Output . You’ll see a window appear at the bottom. (In C# 2010, if you can't see an Output entry, click the Tools menu. From the Tools menu, select Settings > Expert Settings . The Output menu item should then appear on the View menu.)
