Running a c# subroutine using Visual Studio code

I'm not successfully running my subroutine in visual studio code. How can I run this is Visual Studio code?

using System;

namespace SelectSort
{
    class Program
    {
   static void Main(long[] list, int min, int max) {
  int ic;

    long best_value;
    int best_j;
    for (ic = min; ic <= max - 1; ic++)
    {
        best_value = list[ic];
        best_j = ic;
        for (var ji = ic + 1; ji <= max; ji++)
        {
            if (list[ji] < best_value)
            {
                best_value = list[ji];
                best_j = ji;
            }
        }
        list[best_j] = list[ic];
        list[ic] = best_value;
    }

        }
    }
}

ok, I created a new project. How can I call the subroutine using a button click?

Éric Moreau

Are you using Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/) or the full IDE of Visual Studio?

If you are using the full VS, what type of project have you created? Console, Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.Net, ...

I could not make this work using visual studio code with console.

Éric Moreau

A console application cannot show a button. It does not have a UI.

And can you confirm that you really want to use the VSCode product (link above) for which I already said that you will not be able to run C# code.

You can apparently use VS Code to run C#, see here.

Note I've tried this before but not with much luck - I gave up after a while, though I was probably doing something wrong.

It's probably easier to use Visual Studio, here's a link for the Community Edition.

Éric Moreau

I knew you can add some plug in but it is not the purpose of VSCode especially that he is asking for a button click (which comes from a UI that is definitely not supported by VSCode). But I never had the answer to my question if was really using VSCode or a full VS IDE.

Hi zachvaldez,

VSCode works in a bid different fashion. Did you follow these setps described at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio-code

I could debug your code following those steps, let me know if you run into any issues.
