Finally, once those two are installed we can move on to getting the c# extension installed within VS Code.

Initially, I was going to place these within the “How to Consume APIs with c#” blog, but realized that this probably works better standing on its own! So, let’s take a look at how to prep VS Code to run c#!įirst up, obviously install Visual Studio Code – also, if you haven’t already, download and install the . During this “mission” I realized that there are quite a few things you need to do in order to run c# within Visual Studio Code.

With integration into Git, along with thousands of extensions to help me keep my code organized and formatted I began using it as my main editor for a lot of things, even PowerShell scripts.Ĭurrently, I’m on somewhat of a personal mission to learn and explore new languages, solely for the purpose of illustrating how language independent RESTful APIs are. Ever since VS Code was released I’ve been a big fan! It’s a great way for windows junkies like myself to have a terminal like programming scripting environment.
