When I try to run the Debug|Start without debugging for exercise 1 in chapter 2 I get the following error:

The type or namespace name 'console' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any help would sure be appreciated.

I just followed the on screen defaults during the VS.NET installation.

Note that C# is case specific. If you write console all lower case, it is not the same as Console, which is the appropriate object name you seek to employ.
