+# Creating a Project
+The first step will be to create a project and register our first command.
+
+## Background
+The following is important background information on CodeFatory itself. 
+This will help you understand the default startup behavior the first time you create a CodeFactory project.
+
+### Nuget
+CodeFactory was designed to load the target versions of the SDK libraries directly from Nuget. 
+The way that this is accomplished is by adding direct project references to the target version hosted on nuget.
+With the legacy project system used to host .Net framework it does not automatically pull down these nuget packages when you load the project for the first time. 
+So if any CodeFactory project items are added you will get a number of errors related to the libraries not being loaded. 
+The Nuget packages will automatically be pulled down the first time you do a build of the project itself, these errors will then go away.
+
+### CodeFactory Packager
+A CodeFactory commands project is the main execution point for all CodeFactory automation. 
+This project will automatically execute a command line utility after the compile of the project has completed.
+The CFXPackager utility is responsible for building the CFX file that is used to run codefactory automation. 
+
+If no commands are defined in the project this utiltity will output a error saying the package could not be built. 
+This error will go away once the first command is added to the project. 
+
+ 
+## Walk through Steps
+The following is the walk through for creating the project and make sure you can successfully compile the code factory project.
+
+1. Start Visual Studio 2019
+
+2. From the What would you like to do? window click Create a new project
+![](Images/StartWindowCreateProject.png)
+
+Or you can start the same process if you dont use the start up window. 
+ - Click the File menu
+ - From the context menu select New
+ - From the sub context menu select Project
+
+![](Images/FileNewProject.png)
+
+3. From the Create a new project window do the following
+
+![](Images/SelectCommandLibraryProject.png)
+
+ - In the search box type CodeFactory
+ - From The list of projects select CodeFactory - Commands Library
+ - Click Next
+ 
+4. From the Configure you new project do the following
+
+![](Images/ConfigureProject.png)
+
+ - In the project name box type DisplayProjectCommands
+ - Click Create
+ 
+5. Once the solution and project has been created you will see the project and default folder structure. I have expanded the Project folder to show you the sub folders. 
+
+The following is a brief overview of the goal for each folder. 
+Important note each explorer command has its own folder. 
+The following structure is prescriptive only. 
+You can create any folder structure you wish for your automation.
+
+![](Images/ProjectFolderStructure.png)
+
+ - The Project folder is where project commands are created and stored
+ - The Dialog folder is for placement of user interface dialogs you created.
+ - The Logic folder is where you add logic that can be reused across multiple project commands
+ - The Template folder is where you add T4 template that as used by project commands. 
+
+
+6. Next we will add a solution explorer project command to the project. Do the following steps.
+
+![](Images/SolutionExplorerProjectNewItemAdd.png)
+
+ - Right click on the project folder in solution explorer
+ - From the context menu select Add
+ - From the sub context menu select New Item...
+ 
+7. From the Add New Item Dialog Window do the following.
+
+![](Images/AddProjectCommandDialog.png)
+
+- From the Visual C# Items select CodeFactory
+- Select Solution Explorer - Project Command
+- In the name box enter ProjectInformationCommand.cs
+- Then click Add
+
+8. A Microsoft Visual Studio error box will appear. 
+
+![](Images/VisualStudioErrorDialogCodeFactory.png)
+
+This error occurs because the CodeFactory SDK nuget packages have not been downloaded into the project yet. 
+Click Ok to continue.
+
+9. The command code file will display in the IDE and a number of syntax errors will appear. This is occuring since we have not pulled down the SDK through nuget yet.
+
+![](Images/CodeFactoryReferenceMissingError.png)
+
+10. We will then build the solution this will trigger the pull of the nuget packages. Do the following.
+
+![](Images/BuildSolution.png)
+
+ - From the top navigation bar click on Build
+ - From the context menu click Build Solution
+ 
+11. Once the build has completed it will have downloaded and installed the nuget packages into the project. 
+
+You will now see the CodeFactorySDK reference in the project. 
+
+![](Images/CodeFactorySDKProjectReference.png)
+
+You will also notice there are no longer any errors in the project command.
+
+![](Images/ProjectCommandNoErrors.png)
+
+The project creation is complete. 
+
+## Next Step - Automating Project Information
+In the next section we will build the logic to read information about a project and display it to the user in Visual Studio.
