How do I get the debugger to see my project so that I can start working on fixing it?
I have never used the debugger before.

Your code probably is not building.
Try just compiling it without debugging.
Those red squiggles indicate issues...

I am a rookie here so I have a quick question. Does the code have to build before the debugger can even work? It seems counter inutive to require all of the code to be correct before the bugger can work. This concept would defeat the purpose of the debugger. I am assuming I am missing an important point here. I will try to do what you say and fix the errors.

if you can't build the program, there's nothing to debug because your program doesn't exist in a runnable form
Right.
You can't debug something that does not exist.
I see now. Thank you for telling me this. That makes sense.
C# isn't interpreted like something like python, if there is a single compiler error the whole program cannot be run
I came from python background so I see there is yet another difference in this language. Like learning english to spanish.
Okay, I will start working on those bugs and come back if i have another question.
Thank you @Jimmacle thank you @mtreit
Good luck. If you can't figure out some of the build errors feel free to ask.
