I need help installing IntelliSense for C# in VS Code. I tried googling but haven't found any good answer to my question. Is there a option or extension or something in VS code that i can use to install Intellisense for C# on it. I also cant't use Visual studio because I'm on Linux.
Thanks!
The C# extension should include everything you need to get started including IntelliSense: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/csharp
For Unity development, which uses Mono, you should also use the Mono extension as noted in the C# extension documentation: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.mono-debug
I want to develop an VST plugin in C#. Looking around the internet there are not that many libraries in .NET that deal with VST plugins. The only thing I found is the VST.net library (https://vstnet.codeplex.com/). This thing hasn't been updated in a while.
The problem: I am having trouble setting it up the basic project. There are project templates for that project which are done for VS 2008/2010 which is .vsi file. I tried looking around for ways to open it in the latest VS (2017) but I was not successful.
Is there a way to open these in Visual Studio 2017 or should I have to install the older version of Visual Studio to make this work? Or if you have a suggestion for another library/extension that will help me with the development I would appreciate it.
Comments: I am aware that there is better support in C++ for this type of thing but my additional problem is that I have a project in C# that I would like to use and not be forced to rewrite the entire code base.
Thank you in advance for looking into this issue.
I'm using Visual Studio Code, as a code editor for Unity 5.
Visual Studio Code updated itself, after that I found that my C# IntelliSense seems to be broken. It doesn't show suggestions for my classes, it shows only c# syntax suggestions. I've checked all the settings, and logs so everything seems to be correct. There is right workspace settings, OmniSharp is running an no errors in Log. I've tried uninstall/install VSCode but no luck. I can't understand what is the problem, and I need your help.
Any solutions? Screenshots are below.
It may have to do with the C# Omnisharp plugin.
Support for .csproj projects has been temporarily disabled on OS X and Linux. This will impact anyone doing .csproj development on OS X or Linux (e.g. Unity, Xamarin, etc.). Rest assured that this will be restored in the near future. However, for now, you can use the Legacy C# Support extension.

I am using VS 2013 (Express Version) and I want to create a WPF user Control Library project. But I am not able to find the template in my installed templates list. If I use Winforms, I am able to build a DLL out of my Winforms Application Project just by changing the Output type as "Class Library". But it is not happening in WPF and it is throwing errors if I do so. Is this the correct method of doing it or am I going wrong?
And in the Create New Project dialogue window, I am not able to find the .NET Framework selector drop down. After creating the project only I am able to change the .NET framework version by going inside the properties of the project.
Kindly help me to get out of this. Thanks in advance.
I have been working on this exact same problem for hours this morning. Here is what I think I have learned:
With Visual Studio Express 2013, it is by design that the WPF User Control Library template is not available for making a New Project. This is because it is the free Express version.
With the Express version, you don't have a "devenv.exe" for trying the "devenv /installvstemplates" to "fix" things. It is, instead, called (just a moment while I look this up again...) "WDExpress.exe" and will be located (if you have default location) in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE" directory. BUT - this won't help you. It won't fix your problem, because, as I mentioned, your Express installation is designed to not have that template available for New Project, so your "fix" won't put it there. I know this because this is what I tried myself. (Also, note that the instructions for doing this tell you to uninstall any extensions you've installed before doing it. And then, of course, if you still want them you have to reinstall them. Like I still have to do, incidentally.) I'm letting you know all of this so you don't go through the headache I'm having.
Note that I have not done this yet, so this is somewhat hypothetical on my part, but is based on my research on the Internet so far - Your solution is to create a WPF User Control Library manually [but now see UPDATE below]. (No, I don't know how to do this yet. I got into this in the first place, because I'm a WPF novice - just started working with it a few days ago - and late last night I got this great idea to add a "spinner" progress indicator to my "WPF play/learning project" I'm working on, and found a couple of relatively easy-to-work-with samples on the Internet - both of them are a WPF User Control Library - and at first I wanted to use the copy-and-paste to put the code in. But then I discovered... well, our mutual problem, because I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013. No such template under New Project. And literally at the tail end of my about-to-throw-in-the-towel, I'm googling and your post, Dhivakar, is already showing up with the right Google search.) So I haven't finished my research yet, but my next step is to learn exactly how to create a WPF User Control Library manually (the code and various project property settings), and then I can just save a WPF User Control Library skeleton for future use and document the details.
UPDATE: This guy totally has the solution for Express versions. I have followed his steps and it works great. The only additional piece of information I would add is that in my version (VSE2013), after you've created your WPF User Control Library template, when you open Visual Studio again and use File -> New Project, my selection in the tree (for a Windows app) came up under Templates -> Visual C# -> Windows (which is what I've been using). I did not see my template showing up there, after I created it, and I thought, "Great! Another piece of advice that doesn't work." But then I clicked up one on the "Visual C#" parent - and there was the template!

How to add a WPF control library template to Visual C# Express 2008
https://dotupdate.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/how-to-add-a-wpf-control-library-template-to-visual-c-express-2008/
Yes, it works this way for VSE2013 too.
UPDATE 2: I'm not absolutely positive about this, but I think he missed one little piece. In his step #4 he says to delete Window1.xaml and App.xaml. Maybe this didn't apply with VSE 2008, but in VSE 2013 there is also the App.config file which I believe is extraneous for our purpose. So you can delete App.config as well. As I said, I'm not absolutely certain about this yet, but I noticed that file in the project when I added a WPF User Control Library project to my solution, and I deleted it, and the solution compiled okay.
Try running devenv with the /installvstemplates switch, from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms247116(v=vs.100).aspx
If this doesn't work, browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\WPF\1033\WPFUserControl (this could change dependent upon your installation directory), open the .vstemplate file in a text editor, and make sure the setting is set to true, then try running devenv with the switch again.
Hope it helps.
I made a search to find how am I adding an installer to my c# application. In every result I found that I need to add new file from Setup and Deployment templates, but I have no those templates. Even in online search I didn't find so.
what should I do?
The VS setup templates were removed post VS-2010.
Now, you have to use something else. "InstallShield" is still available, and Wix is a very popular install framework. You can, of course, just roll your own installer as well.
Alternatively, just use VS 2010 or earlier to create your setup/deployment projects.
I reckon you should do some research. There are many options out there depending on your type of application. Is it an executable that runs locally? Is it a Web application? Or a mobile application?
Microsoft provides lots of options/guides out of the box. Assuming you use Visual Studio 2013 check this MSDN article which is a good guide to start your research journey: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wtzawcsz.aspx
