11,897 Pointshow to get .dll file
I don't know how to upload the file as a .dll file. The example from Selecting, Projecting and anonymous Types you download a zip file with BirdWatcher.sln, but there isn't a .dll file as far as i see, so what do i have to do.

2,796 PointsI downloaded the zip file from the downloads section, but, as I'm using VS Code in a .net interactive notebook, and the zip is not useable immediately as is...
I unzipped to a new folder, removed the bin, obj, properties folders.
then did a
dotnet new classlib --force
dotnet clean
dotnet build
within that folder, to create the DLL.
in .net interactive notebooks in vs code, I then need to use
#r "BirdWatcher/bin/Debug/net6.0/BirdWatcher.dll"
using BirdWatcher;
to be able to create the List of Birds
List<BirdWatcher.Bird> birds = BirdRepository.LoadBirds();
note: I needed to prefix the Bird class with the namespace 'BirdWatcher', as I already have a 'local' Bird class in my notebook...
