How it works?
Under the hood
How it works?
- Visual Studio 2017
- Create new project
- Console Application
- Create new project
How it works?
- Hit
- Ctrl+F5
- or Build => Build Solution
- What does a Console Application produce?
- Any ideas?
- ANSWER: .exe file
How it works?
- Where to find it
- It is in .bin folder of your project
- An .exe file with the name of the project
- But how does Visual Studio knows what to do?
- It is not magic
- It just runs a program (compiler) which builds the project and creates the .exe file for you
How it works?
- Just open the Developer Command Prompt for VS2017/15
- It is enhanced Command Prompt in Windows
- Navigate to the folder with your project
- type "csc Program.cs" (or the name of the file)
- And voila - you have a Program.exe file
- type Program.exe in the console
Libraries
Libraries
- Does anyone here knows how to calculate very big numbers in C#?
- That's right - BigInteger
- How we add this library?
- We add System.Numerics as a Reference
NuGet
- What actually is the library in C#
- It is just a .dll file
- Don't remember the extension for now
- It is just a program without a Main method
- It is just a .dll file
-
But how do we add more libraries?
- There is a package manager called NuGet
NuGet
