VSCode for the C# Developer

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Step-by-step setup shows VS Code plus the .NET SDK and dotnet new templates create console, class library, Blazor Server and even WPF/WinForms projects that actually run and debug with breakpoints and CodeLens. Extension use is concrete: C# extension (OmniSharp) for scaffolded launch and task files, and a .NET user-secrets helper to store connection strings outside source control. Demos use the CLI (.NET run, dotnet watch, dotnet publish), fix HTTPS via launch.json, enable hot reload, and succeed end-to-end.
