Frequently Asked Questions

Are these C# projects free for capstone and thesis use?
Yes. All projects are free to download, modify, and submit. No attribution required for academic use. Most are MIT-licensed.
What .NET version (Framework, .NET 6, .NET 8) do I need?
Most of these projects target .NET Framework 4.5-4.8 (Windows Forms) — the classic Visual Studio default. They open in any modern Visual Studio (2019, 2022). For new projects, use .NET 8 with Windows Forms (still supported on .NET 8 under Windows). Avoid .NET 5/6/7 — they are end-of-life as of 2024-2025.
Visual Studio Community vs Visual Studio Code?
Visual Studio Community for Windows Forms projects — it has the form designer, IntelliSense, and debugger that make C# productive. VS Code works for .NET 8 console / ASP.NET projects via the C# Dev Kit extension, but Windows Forms designer does not run in VS Code. Use full Visual Studio for these.
SQL Server vs MySQL — which does C# work with?
Both. Use SQL Server plus System.Data.SqlClient for the classic Microsoft stack. Use MySQL plus MySql.Data NuGet package if your school standardizes on MySQL. Most snippets above show the SQL Server pattern; the MySQL ones use MySqlConnection instead of SqlConnection — otherwise identical.
Can I deploy a C# Windows Forms capstone to the web?
No — Windows Forms is desktop-only. For web deployment, you would rewrite as ASP.NET Core MVC or Blazor (different framework). Most BSIT capstones submit Windows Forms with a local SQL Server / SQL Server LocalDB demo on the panel laptop.
How do I run these C# projects locally?
(1) Install Visual Studio Community 2022 (free) with the .NET desktop development workload. (2) Install SQL Server Express or LocalDB (often bundled with Visual Studio). (3) Open the project's .sln file in Visual Studio. (4) Import the SQL backup into your local SQL Server instance. (5) Update the connection string in App.config or the data access class. (6) Press F5 to run.
How often is this C# projects list updated?
New C# tutorials and projects are added periodically. Last refreshed May 2026.
