Welcome to another blog on Byteblog! In todays blog I will be sharing my experience creating a simple C# App Launcher with Visual Studio. Firstly we have to understand what an App Launcher is.
What is an app launcher?
An app launcher is a program that allows users to simply access all of their favourite or most used applications from one place. They can be extremely useful for people who use multiple applications on a daily basis and want to save time navigating to each one individually.
How did I build my app launcher?
To build this simple app launcher I used Visual Studio and the coding language C#. I created a new Windows Forms App in Visual Studio and designed a very simple ui with 6 buttons. Each a led to a different useful windows app. Then in C# I added code to the buttons by double clicking them in the designer view. This took me to the code view where I added the code. This code is included in the git hub repo linked below.
