that's not an error

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:52 PM

as long as you don't get any errors trying to actually use types in your code your usings are fine, you potentially have global usings defined in the project making the one in this file redundant

DuckiOP•6/26/24, 6:52 PM

nothing happens when i run the code which is the issue

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:53 PM

well, your program sets the title and the foreground color then immediately exits

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:53 PM

so 1) you have to be running this in an actual console window and not VS/Code's terminal to see any of that code do something and 2) you probably want to add a pause so the window doesn't close immediately when you run it

how would i run it in a console window? sorry for the basic questions, python was quite a lot simpler.

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:56 PM

either double click the exe produced by

dotnet build

dotnet build

dotnet build

dotnet build or open cmd/powershell, go to the project directory, and

dotnet run

dotnet run

dotnet run

dotnet run

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:56 PM

it would probably help to print some actual text to the console so there's more to see

D

DuckiOP•6/26/24, 6:57 PM

yep ive added that, just figuring out the dotnet build rn

Additionally you can click run if you use Visual Studio :kadse:

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 6:57 PM

it will put an exe in

bin/Debug/net8.0/

bin/Debug/net8.0/

bin/Debug/net8.0/

bin/Debug/net8.0/ iirc

following this youtube guide its supposed to open up a cmd window to display my "Hello World" text, which it doesnt quite do and instead sends it to the terminal in vsc, any way i can change this?

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 7:07 PM

yeah, don't run it through vsc

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 7:07 PM

or find a relevant setting in the C# extension to make it use a standalone console window

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 7:07 PM

i'm going to guess the tutorial you're following is using VS which would show a standalone window by default

J

Jimmacle•6/26/24, 7:08 PM

(and is generally a better option for C# than VSC)

D

DuckiOP•6/26/24, 7:08 PM

ahhh

D

DuckiOP•6/26/24, 7:08 PM

that would make a lot of sense, yes, ill be downloading VS, thank you for all your help

+rep to you mr jimmacle
