unable to call main method

Hi my program stops one line before the main method causing it to not run any help would be appreciated

Program cannot stope before because is the entry point of the program

Angius•12/12/23, 11:56 AM

It's quite literally the very first thing that gets executed

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:56 AM

Why does nothing happen then

Angius•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

It seems you're in the debugger

you should step over using the debugger

Angius•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

Did you intend to run the debugger?

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

I wanted to run the program

Angius•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

Well, you ran the debugger

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

Can I run the program without compiling?

Angius•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

And probably placed a breakpoint or some such, which is why the code paused execution

Angius•12/12/23, 11:57 AM

C# is a compiled language

Angius•12/12/23, 11:58 AM

It needs to be compiled

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:58 AM

The thing is it would always work int he compiler

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:58 AM

Till today

Angius•12/12/23, 11:58 AM

What compiler?

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:58 AM

Debugger*

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

Is it because I’m trying to perform file handling?

Angius•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

Unlikely

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

Oh my

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

I found the breakpoint

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

I see thank you

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 11:59 AM

Didn’t know that was a thing

Here you can read more about the debugger

Angius•12/12/23, 12:00 PM

Breakpoints and all

Angius•12/12/23, 12:00 PM

But if you just want to run your code, you don't need to run it through the debugger

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

What’s the better way to donut

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Do it

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Compile it into an end?

Angius•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Just... run it

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Exe

Angius•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

No, run the code

Angius•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Green arrow in the top toolbar

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Ohhhh

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:03 PM

Thank you

Angius•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

Or shortcut

Angius•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

Assuming you're using VS 2022

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

F5 opens debugger for me

Angius•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

Ah, then

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

Alright

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:04 PM

Also I just learnt about file handling

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:05 PM

This is my code

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:05 PM

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:05 PM

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:05 PM

But I get the error could not find part of the path

Angius•12/12/23, 12:07 PM

Protip: you can screenshot your screen

shuffleOP•12/12/23, 12:07 PM
