PYour title and your text dont seem to align.
PThe title speaks of splitting a single project into multiple files.
The text speaks of splitting features into multiple projects.
The text speaks of splitting features into multiple projects.
PWhat exactly are you trying to do, and what is your current codebase like?
Si guess splitting it into features is what i want to do
Si would like to have some features split into multiple cs files
Sso everything isnt all cluttered
PRight.
PHow do you define a feature, currently?
Si just have one cs file with all my code
Si am gonna start working on another thing but would preferably do it somewhere else, while still being part of the same project
POkay
PCan you show me your current code?
S
Poh, so its all just one giant method?
Sfor the time being, yeah
POkay.
PSo step 1, lets split this ping thing into its a new method in a new class
Pso we separate our entrypoint from the ping
Sgood idea
PSo make a new .cs file, maybe "PingCommand.cs"?
Salr
Sdone
Pok, and was there also a class created in that file?
Syes
Pgreat. so lets make a new method in that class to host our code
P should do the trick
Salright
Sdone
Pnow, lets cut all our code from method into your new method
Sdone
Pfinally, lets make
Maindone
Ptry running your program
S
Pokay, lets see the build errors
Sahh
Si think i know why
Sdo i have to paste all the libraries into that new file?
Sit is telling me it doesnt know what 'Ping' is
Pyou mean the statements?
Pyeah
Syes
Salr
SSi see a few errors i can fix
PLooks like your main method was async in your original file
Pso you'll need to make the new one async too
