Usage
To build the Recipe01-02 class into an application, use this command:
csc /target:winexe Recipe01-02.cs.
The /target:winexe switch tells the compiler that you are building a Windows-based applica-
tion. As a result, the compiler builds the executable in such a way that no console is created when
