I am a complete newbie and I want to learn c#. i have started working through the book. I checked my work multiple times.
I am specifically on page 16 and i tried to run the debugger. For a few milliseconds, i saw a command line come up but nothing else. Then
the command line disappeared. And the debugging session stopped. the build succeeded and there were no errors. I don't know if this is a compatibility issue or if i did something wrong (probably the second of the two)
One thing that was different for me in Visual Studio Express 2010 was i had to create my own form by going to Project>>>add new windows form
Here is my code:

[u] Program.cs-

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Contacts
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            
        }
    }
}

Form1.cs-

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Contacts
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Contact List 1.0. \nWritten by: NAME", "About");
        }
    }
}

It sounds like you created a new console application instead of a new winforms project.

Your main thread in program.cs should look like this instead:

    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
      Application.EnableVisualStyles();
      Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
      Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
