# Getting a component
You can find this sample in the tutorial project: **Menu** ->  **Getting a component** 

## Explanation
This C# basics tutorial covers how to get and remove components. Components are the of the most important concepts in Xenko. Every entity in the scene has a list of components. The transform for instance is also a component. When we make custom scripts that inherit from SyncScript or AsyncScript, they turn in to Components that we can attach to entities. Either by using the editor or by code.
