Workspace and VS

I write C# 90% of the time in VS, but sometime i do want to try Workspace, when i do the Project that i need to do in C# Basic, it works just fine in VS without errors, but when i copy exactly the same from the VS to the workspace, it has like 6 errors, something is wrong with the workspace and i use it because i can continue it in other computers.

You can always download the files needed for the course from the download section on each video, and then incorporate that into your Visual Studio solution?

The REPL is available in Visual Studio by clicking View -> Other Windows -> C# Interactive (just for reference ?)

Hi Roee,

Could be the different compilers? Workspaces uses Mono, whereas Visual Studio uses Roslyn. I know the code is definitely represented differently in the respective REPLs from time to time.

Can you give an example of an error you've had doing this? Matt

For example my errors come that if i do "int minutes = int.Parse(entry); And then i do if and else if with minutes it marks them all in error (red). While in vs it just ok and yes i copy paste it so they are both the same

This would be my guess as well. Since our backend for Workspaces is on Linux, we use Mono for "mostly there" compatibility. There's definitely some things you have to do in Windows with the full .NET suite available, though. Hopefully soon MS will make all of .NET Linux compatible :)

But does it throw an exception? If not then it's purely to do with the IDE or REPL, nothing to do with your code
