Programming in C#. What tools and software do I need?

Hi guys. I am trying to get it right from the start.

What do I need to get it started?

Also, can I insert forms and other tools in my projects if I choose to go for the C++ instead of C# ?

(Note that I was programming in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in excel....)

You need Microsoft.Jet.Oledb data provider and you could write to an excel (.xls) file as you would store data to a database table.

After going through the thread, let me know if you need help.
