When coding in c#\/csharp<\/a>, I use monodevelop<\/a>. Here is the wordsearch base Grid class in c#, I am coding in different languages just for fun as such, but here is the main idea for the wordsearch<\/a>. I have already done a basic version in php<\/a> which is at the present state in creating a grid<\/a> (but without any intersection of words with others). But here is the Grid<\/a> class in php, and below is the similar setup in csharp.<\/p>\n

The main class, is where the application executes from, it is very similar to c++ in that there is a main function<\/p>\n

\r\npublic static void Main(string[] args)\r\n<\/pre>\n
which takes the string[] args as a parameter, which is what is passed in on the command line.<\/p>\n
Anyway, here is the code.. I have added in some comments to what the code is doing.<\/p>\n
