❔ Setting up C# in VSCode

qki · 2023-06-05T12:07:35.661Z

So I'm trying to learn c# right now, but when I try to run a test program, it just throws an error: I have no idea where this "scriptcs" comes from. I ran a search but couldn't find it. What am I doing wrong?

1) Install the C# extension
2)
2.a) DO NOT USE OPEN FILE
2.b) Always use (from the menu), and open the folder containing your file (or the folder containing the if you have only one )
3) To make the extension start and detect C#, either:
3.a) wait for the prompt that will appear on the bottom right of your screen that ask you if you want it to create some files, and say
3.b) Command Palette ( or ) and type
4) you should see a flame on the bar with the Omnisharp logo (see second attached screenshot)
5) it should load to finally say OmniSharp server is running (if not ask for help)

No. Create a new project with „dotnet new console“

Q

qkiOP•6/5/23, 12:10 PM

aight, one sec

K

kocha•6/5/23, 12:11 PM

You need the .net sdk installed

K

kocha•6/5/23, 12:12 PM

And then run it with „dotnet run“

Thinker•6/5/23, 12:13 PM

This is the minimum for a regular app

Kkocha No. Create a new project with „dotnet new console“

Q

qkiOP•6/5/23, 12:15 PM

Not sure if I did it right. Is this what it's supposed to look like?

K

kocha•6/5/23, 12:16 PM

Delete the start.csproj

K

kocha•6/5/23, 12:16 PM
