❔ I can't run my C# code in VS code
I get the message
'The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. A valid dotnet installation could not be found. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path

I'm pretty sure I downloaded the file VS told me to get but still doesn't work, maybe the path is wrong but i'm not sure how to change that
Can you open a terminal and run
dotnet --list-sdksOk
is that the windows terminal or VS terminal?
windows terminal
Ok
I think i've done this wrong
but I got this output
I ran as administrator and normal
Alright you need to install .NET SDK!

Ok thanks, downloading now
I'll let you know how it goes
I think this is a different issue, it now finds the .NET
but it says this
idk what is failing to load this is the whole output
Are you using the C# Devkit extension?
yeah
Get started with C# and .NET in Visual Studio Code
Getting Started with C# and .NET Development in Visual Studio Code
Does following these instructions still show "1 failed to load" output?
still shows the same failed to load
but i think its because my VS is messed up
Hmmm, have you tried restarting your machine?
when i attempt to debug my code it shows this error from an old project
yes
restarting didn't change anything though
The project uses the old style csproj format, I don't think C# devkit supports it
how to i delete the project since i don't need it anymore
delete the file?
Yes, or simply create a new project
Ok
how do i create a new project since i only know how to create new files
dotnet new console for a console appor just
dotnet new for a list of common templates
you can use dotnet new list for all templatesWas this issue resolved? If so, run
