# 1.0: Solution Setup

In this module we'll set up a new solution for our C# learning path.

## File Location

1. Create a folder where you would like to keep your solution, it's best to make this in your C drive. Call it something like: `DotNetProjects`.
2. Open **Visual Studio**.
3. Go to **File > New Project**.
4. Select **Windows Classic Desktop** on the left sidebar and choose **Console App (.NET Framework)**.

   ![New Project](https://github.com/ElevenfiftyAcademy/DotNet-101-151-CSharpFundamentalsApps/tree/e208ef822ca540d24e023c4f2ebb44f0f7c51d0d/docs/Part0//assets/1.0-A.png)
5. Browse to the folder you created.
6. Name the **Project** `DataTypes` and name the **Solution** `CSharpFundamentals`. 
7. Check **Create directory** and **Create new Git repository**.
8. This will create a folder named `CSharpFundamentals`, a solution *(.sln file)* inside that folder named `CSharpFundamentals`, and a project called `0.01_Types_Variables`.
9. As you add more projects to the solution, there will be more folders added.

   * *Note: When you need to re-open this solution, or other solutions you create, you'll open **Visual Studio**, go to **File > Open > Project/Solution** and browse to the* `[SolutionName].sln` *file*.
10. The `Program.cs` file in **DataTypes** is where you will be working in the next section.
