ServiceMatrix is a series that can start projects as NServiceBus projects with pieces already integrated for faster development. However, it is not necessary to use ServiceMatrix to build NServiceBus components. A step-by-step guide on how to use ServiceMatrix is available at http://docs.particular.net/servicematrix/getting-started-with-servicematrix-2.0, and the process of using code without ServiceMatrix is found at http://particular.net/articles/NServiceBus-Step-by-Step-Guide.
We install ServiceMatrix in Visual Studio using the Extensions and Updates... option under the Tools menu.
We can create an NServiceBus project by navigating to the Project option under the Files | New menu. Here, we will create a PaymentEngine example:
Normally, there will be three different areas for the standard development environment. There will be Solution Builder on the left-hand side, NServiceBus Canvas in the center, and Solution Explorer on the right-hand side.
