C# - Visual Studio Code (IDE)

[Hi P]

I'm trying to get started on C# since I will have a class on it, I just wanted to get started on the basics, the problem is I had a hard time running the code but upon doing a bit of google search I came a cross a little tutorial, so I did the following that worked:

 

(on the visual studio code terminal)

1. dotnet new console
2. dotnet code .
3. dotnet build
4. dotnet run

 

Two problems:

 

1.- Whenever I want to update and run the code I have to repeat every single time "dotnet build" followed by "dotnet run", is this normal? any quicker way?

 

2.- If a path (folder) contains multiple .cs files, the dotnet build takes them all, so if a single .cs file has a problem I can't compile, therefore I've been separating them, a .cs file per folder, which I am sure shouldn't be the case...

1. What am I doing wrong?
2. How do I compile a single .cs file besides all of them?

 

Thank you very much

Why not use Visual Studio Community?
