[[Property:title|EiffelStudio: Creating a new project]]

The first thing to do to start Eiffeling is to create a project. Most commands are disabled when no project is created.
|
|
|
|
When opening EiffelStudio, by default a dialog is popped up that proposes to create or open a project:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[Image:startup-dialog]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under '''Create project''', several options are offered, which depend on the platform you are on.
|
|
* '''Basic application''' is the most basic new project that can be generated. It only includes the [[EiffelBase|base library]] and by default only creates the frame of the project. This is the ideal choice to start a textual (console) application, or to discover Eiffel. Indeed, the project is very light and includes only things that are essential in any project. It is available on all platforms.
|
|
* '''.NET application''' has by default all essential components to start a project targeting the Microsoft .NET platform. Of course, it is only available on Windows, and only if you have chosen to install the .NET support during the installation.
|
|
* '''Vision2 application''' creates a new project that includes the [[EiffelVision Introduction|Eiffel Vision2 library]] . This is the perfect choice to start a platform-independent graphic application, or even any graphic application, since EiffelVision2 is easier to use than platform-specific libraries. This option is available on all platforms.
|
|
* '''WEL application''' generates a project using the [[WEL|Windows Eiffel Library(WEL)]] . This option is recommended for projects needing advanced Windows features, or Windows applications that are time-critical, since the graphic functionality provided by WEL is more efficient than the one provided by Vision2, which on the other hand provides a platform-independent abstract interface. This wizard is only available on Windows.
|
|
* '''EiffelWeb application''' creates a new project based on the EiffelWeb framework (EWF). This is the choice to build a platform-independent web server application on top of various solution (CGI, libFCGI, or standalone EiffelWeb server). This option is available on all platforms.
|
|
* This list of wizards is not definitive, and may change in the future, to bring new solutions.
|
|
|
|
All those options are also available in the ''' File'''/ '''New project...''' menu. This pops up a dialog with all the options to generate a new project:

{{tip|If you checked the "Don't show this dialog at startup" checkbox in the start-up dialog but want to get it back, you can use the [[Discardable dialogs|Preferences dialog]] to reset the default value. }}
