        public static async Task SaveXP()
        {
            string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(XP, Formatting.Indented);

            await File.WriteAllTextAsync("Saved_XP.json", json);
        }

        public static async Task SaveXP()
        {
            string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(XP, Formatting.Indented);

            await File.WriteAllTextAsync("Saved_XP.json", json);
        }

this is the code itss pretty simple

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:42 PM

the issue lies in the File.WriteAllTextAsync

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

apparently WriteAllTextAsync doesnt well exist

Angius•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

What's the exact error?

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

this is the error

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

"File Does not contain a definition for "WriteAllTextAsync"

Angius•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

What's your .NET and C# version?

Angius•12/23/24, 4:43 PM

It's in the .csproj.csproj file

Angius•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

Or project properties

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

im using .Net Framework 4.7.2 i think

leowest•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

Angius•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

That's... old

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

Angius•12/23/24, 4:44 PM

Any reason to use it in particular?

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:45 PM

not one that i can think off

Angius•12/23/24, 4:45 PM

$newproject

AAngius $newproject

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.

"Not that bad"
Man, C# is great lol

Angius•12/23/24, 4:45 PM

Not "not that bad" :KEKW:

AAngius "Not that bad" Man, C# is great lol

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

im used to people calling it dogshit

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

i like it, but everyone else said its useless outside of unity

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

and its carried by unity

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

"its just java made by microsoft"

Angius•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

You're in the wrong crowd lmao

AAngius You're in the wrong crowd lmao

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

so its good?

Angius•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

Yeah

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

well thats nice to know

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:46 PM

atleast im learning a language that is somewhat useful

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

Ever since .NET Core it runs everywhere and does basically everything

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

Web, desktop, mobile, games

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

Unity's implementation of it might be dogshit, yeah

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

But not the language itself

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

i think those were java programmers

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

Maybe

Angius•12/23/24, 4:47 PM

They have the Stockholm syndrome lol

Angius•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

Regardless, the current version of .NET is 9.0

Angius•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

And current version of C# is 13.0

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

holy macaronie

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

will i lose any progress?

Angius•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

Nah

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

neat, how do i update?

Angius•12/23/24, 4:48 PM

You can create a new .NET 9 project, copy-paste your existing code, and let it rip

Angius•12/23/24, 4:49 PM

You can even skip adding Newtonsoft.JsonNewtonsoft.Json since JSON serialization is built-in now

SergiuEsOP•12/23/24, 4:49 PM

i have to copy paste it? :tear:

Angius•12/23/24, 4:49 PM

Well, you can try to upgrade the existing project

Angius•12/23/24, 4:49 PM

Depending on what kind of .csproj.csproj file it is
