Hi I am developing an visual studio extension where once the solution is open and I try to add a new project using a command after creating that project this msg pops up saying modified outside the environment. Does anyone have solution for disabling it.
I know what you are talking about, I can reproduce.
Based on the default settings of VS Tool, if you use such commands in root directory of the solution file outside VS:
dotnet new console -n ProjectName -f net7.0
dotnet sln SolutionFileName.sln add ProjectName/ProjectName.csproj
And then, if you click in the entire window of Visual Studio, this windows will pop out:
For your situation, currently doesn't have such feature to control 'File Modification Detected' Window when projects be linked to solution file outside.
Your requirement make sense, I suggest you to rise a feature request ticket in Microsoft Official feedback place:
Request a feature
you can share your ideas and your requirements there.
By the way, there is a public extension project in GitHub, which can kill the 'File Modification Detected' window and auto load the solution:
FDMKiller
This extension is based on VS2017, it may not be suitable for your VS version and may not be able to use directly in your VS version, but you can get some inspiration from the source code if you are interest in this.
This question is a complement for the post How to change the output name of an executable built by Visual Studio.
After reading this post I did the following:
Firstly, I followed the answer for this post and I could define the executable file name successfully.
Now, I would like to know if instead of only define the name as "Demo.exe" as mentioned in the example post above, it would be possible to embed the version defined in AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute or in AssemblyVersionAttribute in the built file, resulting in something like "Demo_v1.0.0.0.exe"?
I'm developing my application in C# WinForms, using Visual Studio Express 2017.
Why would you want to change the name of the executable? Whenever you try building a Setup for your application, you need to change the Setup to include the new file. And when you install an update, your Setup needs to know all versions of your executable in order to delete the old version. That's just not what you want to do.
If you want to keep all versions of the software for yourself, come up with a different solution, e.g. moving the executable into a folder which has the version number.
That said, I have done this for Setups, so customers can download different versions of the Setup. I did that using a commercial tool called Visual Build, but there are other build automation tools available. So, my answer is: set up a continuous integration / continuous delivery pipeline (CI/CD) and automate the step there, not in Visual Studio.
From the project properties, you can add Post build event command line to rename your exe
pseudo
Maybe you can create another console renamer.exe which reads version defined in AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute or in AssemblyVersionAttribute of your app and renames it and then call that renamer.exe from Post build event command line
write a powershell script to rename the newly built exe and call that script from Post build event command line
I just downloaded Visual Studio Code and my Intellisense is not automatically working.
The two settings that control this seem to be set correctly:
"editor.quickSuggestions": true,
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": true,
I do get an Intellisense menu when i start typing and press "CTRL + Space", but this gives me a list of everything and not things specifically for my object.
What am i doing wrong?
If you have a workspace and for some reason have multiple folders you may need to 'help' omnisharp a bit. I initially had a big project and added a solution for it further on - ending up with TWO workspace folders (one to a startup project and one to the solution). After composing that setup I experienced only the first project to have intellisense working.
Solution to get intellisense working was to make sure omnisharp worked its way from the solution instead of the project:
Ctrl + Shift + p
Write "OmniSharp: Select Project" and press Enter.
Choose the solution workspace entry.
Inspiration gotten from 'swaner':
https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/1889
Visual Studio Code's more advanced editing features (IntelliSense, refactoring tools, etc.) only work in C# files if you have a project.json file or *.sln file that VSCode is aware of. Open the folder (i.e. open the File menu and click Open Folder...) with the *.sln file or project.json and VSCode will attempt to find all project/solution files in the folder. If there are multiple projects, you may need to select one from the projects button on the right side of the status bar (bottom of the window).
From the VSCode website:
Selecting a project.json-file is opening a DNX-project and VSCode will load that project plus the referenced projects
Selecting a *.sln-file is opening a MSBuild-project. It will load the referenced *.csproj-projects and sibling or descendant project.json-files but no other project files that are referenced from the solution file.
Selecting a folder will make VSCode scan for *.sln and project.json files and VSCode will attempt to load them all.
If you are start your project with c#, then some time you haven't download extension.
Process by written
Ctrl + Shift + p.
Write "OmniSharp: Select Project" and press Enter.
Choose the solution workspace entry.
Then enable the c# extension for "OmniSharp : Project".
Process by image
Downgrading to 1.23.9 of the C# VS Code extension fixed the intellisense for me. So if nothing else is working for you, perhaps try installing an older version of the extension (doesn't necessarily have to be that exact one I mentioned). You can do this by selecting this option in VS Code:
As of the 0.5 version I have found that I need to close and re-open my working files to get some new intellisense information to start working for my own files. This usually happens after I have a file open that needs to use type information from another file I just created. Until I close and re-open them (within the editor) the intellisense doesn't always work.
Hopefully this is something that'll get fixed as the app matures.
Inorder to make the intelligence working, the Visual Studio Code extension OmniSharp should be there along with Mono. When you open a project/solution folder, the OmniSharp gets the project dependencies from either project.json or from the dotnet solution file (if the project/solution created with other versions of visual studio).
So, when you look at the omnisharp's output window after immediately opening the project/ solution folder, you may see the following lines
Starting OmniSharp server at 2017-9-18 09:26:44
Target: /Users/{username}/Source/{Your Solution Folder}/{Your Solution
file}.sln
OmniSharp server started wth Mono
Path: /Users/{username}/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.12.1/.omnisharp/run
PID: 5808
post that, you may see couple of lines coming up like below,
[info]: OmniSharp.MSBuild.MSBuildProjectSystem
Update project: {Your Project1 Name}
[info]: OmniSharp.MSBuild.MSBuildProjectSystem
Update project: {Your Project2 Name}
....
they mean that your projects are getting recognised by OmniSharp Extension.
If you get any error message informing you about timeout, please get into the settings of the Visual Studio Code, and add a configuration override like the one below:
"omnisharp.projectLoadTimeout": 200
I know it is too long to wait for 200 seconds. But don't worry, this won't stop you anymore working with project files. But, remember that the IntelliSense will be automatically available once all the projects in the folder are successfully loaded.
Feel free to extend the Timeout setting since it will help you getting intellisense even-though you are not getting it immediately.
Here is another link with the same solution: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/1585
Hope my information helps you! Enjoy your VSCode!
This case was for an existing project that was working fine before. Opened via the vs code "recent" history.
For dotnet core. I opened my project's *.csprog file, made no changes, and saved it via the vs code editor.
As soon as I saved, all of the intellisense stuff starting working again in my other files within that project.
Another troubleshooting strategy to try if none of the above works out is uninstalling Mono, which is unnecessary anyways if you're using .NET Core. I also experienced a sudden disappearance of Intellisense after pulling changes to one of our enterprise repos that included an upgrade from ASP.NET Core 2.0 to 2.1. Strangely, at the same time, Intellisense was working fine in another C# project repo running ASP.NET Core 2.2.
For the project in question, I was puzzled to see successful logs for each reboot of the Omnisharp server as well as perfectly clean builds and runs. The puzzlement increased as I compared these Omnisharp logs to those from the 2.2 project and found them effectively identical.
Upon uninstalling Mono, the one detail that changed is how Omnisharp started. Now it boots up from a shell script located at ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.19.0/.omnisharp/1.32.18/run. Previously, Mono itself was booting the server from the executable at ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.19.0/.omnisharp/1.32.18/omnisharp/Omnisharp.exe.
Other troubleshooting I attempted in this instance though to no avail:
dotnet clean / Deleting bin and obj directories
Updating launch.json to point at the proper /bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1 build
directory
Wiping my local nuget cache
Restarting Omnisharp
Uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code, as well as bumping back a version from 1.33.1 as the breakage coincided oddly with the March 2019 update
Uninstalling and reinstalling the C# VS Code extension, as well as bumping back a version from 1.19.0 given other users' reports of said version interfering with Intellisense for certain projects*
Adding a global.json file at project root to override default utilization of latest .NET Core SDK (mine was 2.2.105) and run instead using 2.1.302 in concert with the project's version
Wiping/rebuilding the project .sln file
Specs: VS Code 1.33.1, C# Extension 1.19.0, MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
*NB: As it turns out, in another .NET Core 2.1 project with the same issues in VS Code as described above, uninstalling Mono alone did not fix things. I also did wind up needing to bump back the C# extension to v. 1.18.0 to recover Intellisense. Weird.
The issue I had was OmniSharp was an older version. I set the flag to update to latest version in Settings.json file. This ensures the extension is always the latest version.
"omnisharp.path": "latest"
And restarted VS code. That fixed it for me.
Simply reinstall the extension and restart the VSCode/PC.
I use Task Manager and kill the Visual Studio Code process, then restart Visual Studio Code, the intellisense shows and fixed.
I've had some good experiences in C# with this extension so far:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jchannon.csharpextensions
This extension traverses up the folder tree to find the project.json or *.csproj and uses that as the parent folder to determine namespaces.
Try "Install Extension" from command Pallete - probably if C# intellisense is not there:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/colorizer
if intellisense in not working for react js or javascript or node js this solution will help for windows
uninistall type script by typing npm uninstall -g typescript
install specific version of type script that is 3.3 by typing npm install -g typescript#3.3
add the typescript location in vscode by navigating to file > Preferences > settings > here search for edit in setting.json then add this path "typescript.tsdk": "/Users/yourusename/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/typescript/lib"
settings.json should look someting like this
{
"editor.suggestSelection": "first",
"vsintellicode.modify.editor.suggestSelection":"automaticallyOverrodeDefaultValue",
"typescript.tsdk": "/Users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/typescript/lib"
}
I was able to fix this by changing the Api Compatibility Level from .Net Standard 2.0 to .NT 4.x. You can find this setting on Project Settings / Player.
After that, intellisense started working again.
This is because of C# extension issue.
Reinstall the extension will work.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp
I fixed this with a multiple project solution in .net5 / .net core 3.1 by
opening each project (not the sln folder) in VSCODE. This then prompts to add the resources/ .CSX? files to the project; enabling intellisense, per project. Finally close that window and reopen the solution folder and all works as expected.

Downgrading to 1.23.9 of C# for Visual Studio Code (powered by OmniSharp).
https://i.stack.imgur.com/VrdJl.png
After trying several things I looked at the OmniSharp logs only to realize that because I had two different sln files in my workspace. It had picked up the “other” one and thus wasn’t working. I deleted it, reopened vs code, and all is well again.
For me I had been working without internet for a long time. It had previously been working but then stopped. I closed+reopened VSCode with a stable wifi connection and the Output tab in VSCode popped up, displaying the the extensions were re-installing. After that it worked!
in my case , the extension wasn't enabled
I just had this happen (this being no code completion suggestions appearing). What resolved it for me was changing the VSCode Editor package in Unity to a previous version and then back to the current version.
For me, this was going from 1.2.0 to 1.1.3 and then back to 1.2.0. I believe removing and reinstalling 1.2.0 would have accomplished the same.

I know this is probably the most obvious answer. But I had enough dealing with VS Code ridiculous bugs. You should be focusing on code, not the buggy IDE. Their documentation doesn't make it easy either to debug.
Steps for complete uninstallation:
Save your personalization files such as keybindings.json,
Just put it on GitHub or something so whenever you need have trouble with VS Code you simply just need to go to GitHub and copy-paste it.
Uninstall VS Code completely
When you uninstalled VS Code, it doesn't erase your extension files and some old settings. This is the cause of the re-installation ended up the same. Horrible move VS Code. For the list of the files that you must delete, you can check out this answer.
Go to their website and install the new one.
I hope this helps some people who are already had enough with the VS Code ridiculous bug.
In my case, the issue was not with VS Code settings. The error was due to a corrupted TEMP path configured in my PC's registry user profile environment settings.
I got this error from Help --> Toggle Developer Tools --> Console
The error was flagged in the console when I opened a new typescript file.
Unable to write file c:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp;C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.25;C:\vufind-3.1.2\install.php\09cf49d8-af5b-42e9-8194-43f5b566be0f'
Obviously this path was corrupted. After updating the environment variables in registry settings, the VS code IntelliSense started working. Checking the console is a good start to find the root cause of this issue.
Earlier intellisense was working for Angular in VS-Code but for some reason (which I don't know) intellisense stopped working. I had extensions installed i.e. Angular Essentials and Angular Language Service etc. that were responsible for this intellisense and all that.
What I did?
I disabled the extensions, restarted VS Code and enabled them. It was all working fine as before.
If everything in VSCode is working ( No errors in output console, language server is working etc.) and built-in extensions are enabled. Still, if your IntelliSense is not working for normal .js files make sure variables are defined with a type identifier such as var d = new Date() or let d = new Date(). In my case, IntelliSense was not working for d = new Date() (No autocomplete for Date object 'd' APIs in this way) but started working fine when I specified a type before my variable names.
Download and install "Tool for Visual Studio 2019" as the C# extension under hood use the build tools: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
In my case, I had an extension installed (Explorer Exclude) to help me focus and hide certain files that I don't regularly work with within the Explorer.
I so happened to have disabled viewing *.sln, *.csproj and *.vsconfig files and folders, which apparently prevents VSCode from even knowing the file is there in the first place. Disabling these specific rules solved the problem instantly.
Took me ages to figure out... The more you know.
I solved it by uninstalling all SDK's (not sure if this is needed)
and installed 4.7.1 developer pack
win 10, vscode 1.63.2, unity 2020.3.25f1
I fixed this by installing .NET Framework 4.7.1 Developer Pack:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net471
I have a Visual Studio solution with a number of C# application projects.
Solution/
A/
B/
C/
Installer (WiX)/
Some of these executables need to be able to run others. For example, A needs to be able to run B and C. This is easy once the entire package is installed, since the executables will all get installed to the same location. However, I am unsure how to find B.exe from A.exe when I am running the programs from inside Visual Studio, i.e., when I am testing and debugging.
How do I get the correct path, no matter if I running from Visual Studio or after installing the program fully? I have some ideas, but I am a bit frustrated with execution, and I'm hoping it's easier than it currently seems. I am comfortable editing the *.csproj files manually if that's what it takes.
Possible solution 1
I could put the paths in the App.config files. However, there are problems:
The files would need to be different for debug and release versions. This doesn't look easy. An answer on Stack Overflow recommends XSLT, which is somewhat pathological in its complexity and I especially don't want to learn yet another language just to solve such a simple problem.
I would need to edit the file before it gets included in the installer, which is possible (reference) but requires yet more code.
Possible solution 2
I could put the necessary paths in plain text files that are created using post-build steps, but I don't know enough batch scripting to be comfortable with this.
Possible solution 3
Somehow copy B.exe into the output directory for A, so B.exe is always in the same path relative to A.exe. This would be annoying, since there are already post-build steps which copy a bunch of dependencies for B.exe, and the files would need to be copied again during A's build process.
Possible solution 4
Somehow adjust the build process so there is only one output directory shared between all projects in the solution.
Non-solutions
I'd like to keep the solution so that it works after checking out a fresh copy of the repository from version control, which means that environment variables or command-line parameters won't work.
Need to recompile my project (not large) under Windows 7 without setting up Visual Studio.
Is there any method to do that with minimum setup procedure. It's C# app, using System.Net.Sockets and some others from my other projects.
Should I set up whole VS to recompile just little code app? like batch build..
Or... is there any cloud/public servers with pre-installed different Operational Systems with Visual Studio, where I could upload my project and just re-build it under all platforms at once?
I use this batch script to compile my C# applications. Just pass in the solution name without the .sln extension
if exist %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 set MSBUILDPATH=%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
if exist %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 set MSBUILDPATH=%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
set MSBUILD=%MSBUILDPATH%\msbuild.exe
%MSBUILD% /nologo /m /p:BuildInParallel=true /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU" "%1.sln"
Do you just want to use studio to compile without running the GUI? If so, you have at lot less work to do. Use devenv.exe.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
This should work for you:
csc /r:Reference1.DLL /r:Reference2.DLL /r:Reference3.DLL Main.cs...other cs
/r: pass refereences of your project
after, pass cs files separated by space
In order to run this in CMD o PowerShell, you may need to run *vcvars32.bat, which you can copy from machine where you have VS installed, or just, before inserting command, set complete path to csc.exe*
Regards.
With the .net Framework installed, you can just use msbuild or csc.exe.
Build project on commandline with msbuild.exe (comes with the framework).
No need to use devenv (which is vs) or csc (which requires you to specify dependencies etc.)
