- Getting Started - - To start using Visual Haskell right away, first create a new - project (File->New->Project...). Select one of the Haskell - project types (Console Application or Library Package), and hit Ok. - The project will be created for you, and an example module - added: Main.hs for an application, or - Module1.hs for a library. - - You can now start adding code to - Main.hs, or adding new modules. To add a new - module, right-click on the src directory, and - select Add->New Item. Visual Haskell supports hierarchical - modules too: you can add new folders using the same Add menu to - create new nodes in the hierarchy. + + Additionally, Visual Haskell is bundled with a large collection of + documentation: the GHC manual, the hierarchical libraries reference, and + other material all of which can be browsed within Visual Studio + itself. hunk ./ghc/docs/vh/vh.xml 345 - If you have any errors in your code, they will be underlined with - a red squiggly line. Select the Tasks window (usually a tab near the - bottom of the Visual Studio window) to see the error messages, and - click on an error message to jump to it in the editor. +
+ Getting Started + + After installing Visual Haskell, start up Visual Studio as you + would normally, and observe that on the splash screen where it lists + the supported languages you should now see an icon for Visual + Haskell (if you don't see this, something has gone wrong... please let + us know). + + Firstly, take a look at the bundled documentation. Go to + Help->Contents, and you should see the “Visual Haskell Help + Collection”, which contains a large collection of GHC and + Haskell-related documentaiton, including this document. hunk ./ghc/docs/vh/vh.xml 359 - To build the program, hit Ctrl-Shift-B, or select one of the - options from the Build menu. -
