Creating A First Windows 8 App : Hello World. Step 2 : Step 2: Start the app

At this point, we created a very simple app. If you want to see what it looks like, press F5 to build, deploy, and launch your app in debugging mode. The default splash screen appears first, and then your app appears. It contains a black screen and the title "My Application".









There's no button or command to close the app. You can use the close gesture or Alt+F4 to close it, but you typically don't close. Press the Windows key to go to the Start screen; notice that deploying the app adds its tile to the last group on the Start screen. To run the app again, tap or click its tile on the start screen, or press F5 in Visual Studio to run it in debugging mode.

It doesn't do much—yet—but congratulations, you've built your first Windows Store app!
To stop debugging the app, press Alt+Tab to return to Visual Studio. In Visual Studio, click Debug > Stop debugging to close the app. You can't edit in Visual Studio while you're debugging.
