Sorry guys – have not got time to train myself in VS, so I thought I’d ask here in case anyone’s feeling charitable.

I’ve installed it, got a .cs file from someone which contains a Main method. However the run icon only contains an ‘attach to process’ option and the debug option is greyed out. I want to step through it to see what it does and where it’s failing.

I would help but I only use VS for grown up languages.

I think you might have to tell it which file you want to run.

Try this

Trying creating a c# console app. It should scaffold a file with a ‘main’ method. Replace that file with the one you have, build it and try running it, adding breakpoints where you want.

Ironically. Technicallyinept is bang on.

Ah yes apparently I can’t run the cs file in isolation, it needs a project. I have the author of the code sending me his. Thanks!

project files must be a completely alien concept to someone who programs in Java…

Why?

PS I’ve worked with loads of things besides Java over the years 🙂

Why?

because you can’t c# …

that might have been a little cruel but, damn, it was funny…

Ah programmer jokes. 😆

“Knock, knock.”

“Who’s there?”

very long pause….

“Java.”

Oh for fu….. Argh
