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

## Explanation
This C# beginner tutorial covers how to get and remove components.

 Components are one of the most important concepts in Stride. 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 into Components that we can attach to entities. We can attach these components to entities by using the editor or we can attach them by code.
