811 PointsProgram.exe created, but will not run.
Hi,
Like many before me, I've got trouble running Program.exe:
I've followed every single step and ensured my code is exactly the same as the code in the video. I done the following:
Checked all the syntax (and caps),
Saved All,
mcs Program.cs,
Ls command to confirm I created the .exe file,
mono Program.exe - nothing happens... It should Print the string "Enter...",
Thrown in an extra Readline for good measure, but no luck.
Really frustrating.

When I check the modification times on your files (using "ls -l"), I see that the source was modified after the executable was built. Rebuilding the executable now will create one that does print out "Enter " when it is run.
I tried it myself and confirmed it.

4,809 PointsDid you simply type "mono Program" or did you type "mono Program.exe"? In the description, you seem to be missing the .exe, I doubt that is the issue but it's worth trying.

811 Pointsmono Program.exe, is there a way I can post screenshots on this forum? It's probably best I showed an image of it.

230,274 PointsScreenshots are not very useful for diagnosing issues.
You already did the right thing posting the snapshot link.

811 PointsHey Steve,
Yeah I restarted the browser and modified the file shortly after that. I still don't see why it didn't work at first as the code itself was completely unchanged. I just simply followed the same steps again after restarting.
