❔ Visual Studio not producing templates?

Hey everyone, I'm attempting to teach myself C# via this website " https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_getstarted.php " (Link included since I'm following the steps listed in it) One of the steps states that you must install the " Console App (.NET Core) ". Yet, I don't see any option to do that. When I click the link to install more tools and features it just re-directs me to the Visual Studios installer for more languages. I saw on the VS website forums post that Microsoft says to just install the .Net SDK from the individual components tab (The Microsoft employee never specified which SDK so I have 4.8 and 4.8.1 installed) but that a patch should be coming "soon". Does anyone know a workaround?

W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more.

You mean this?

Scott hrot•3/6/23, 7:47 PM

yeah, is's kinda stupidly described, they mean you just intall .net desktop development and then just select ConsoleApp from list on Create a new project tab

Pics included to reference. I already have the .NET desktop development installed. When I click on "create a new project" I'm brought to Pic 1. I don't see any dropdowns for templates and when I search for console app in the search bar nothing appears. When I click install more toold and features I'm brought to pic 2. I'm not entirely sure if I'm overlooking something insanely simple or what

AACiDCA7 when you installed VS did you select the .net desktop workload?

I'm not seeing what you typed in the sidebar. I don't think I have it installed? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong location though

Ggeorgemcsteel I'm not seeing what you typed in the sidebar. I don't think I have it installed?...

Go to the individual components tab from top, choose .net 6 or 7

When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework.
.NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended.
