Last edited by Illimar.Rekand

How to

  1. Open Visual Studio (**not** Visual Studio Code!)

  2. File -> New -> Project

  3. Choose "Console App (.NET Framework) (**not** Console App)

  4. Give an appropiate project name, set Framework to ``` .NET Framework 4.8 ```

  5. Add the following references under Project -> Add Reference:

  6. Create the .exe file by clicking Build -> Build Solution / Rebuild Solution (the latter tends to print the directory which the .exe file is saved in)

  7. To test/debug, navigate to the folder (by default it should be in the folder project-name/bin/Debug), then right click, select "Open in Terminal" (assuming you have Microsoft Terminal installed. This example was done using MS Powershell v5, Build 19041, Rev: 1320 in Terminal 1.21.2911.0), then simply enter the name of the executable followed by parameters.
