Hello World in C#
Hello World in C#
Before you dive into ASP.NET Core, try creating and running a simple C#
application.
You can do this all from the command line. First, open up the Terminal
(or PowerShell on Windows). Navigate to the location you want to store
your projects, such as your Documents directory:
cd Documents
Use the dotnet command to create a new project:
dotnet new console -o CsharpHelloWorld
The dotnet new command creates a new .NET project in C# by default.
The console parameter selects a template for a console application (a
program that outputs text to the screen). The -o CsharpHelloWorld
parameter tells dotnet new to create a new directory called
CsharpHelloWorld for all the project files. Move into this new directory:
cd CsharpHelloWorld
dotnet new console creates a basic C# program that writes the text
Hello World! to the screen. The program is comprised of two files: a
project file (with a .csproj extension) and a C# code file (with a .cs
extension). If you open the former in a text or code editor, you'll see this:
CsharpHelloWorld.csproj
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
12
Hello World in C#
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
The project file is XML-based and defines some metadata about the
project. Later, when you reference other packages, those will be listed
here (similar to a package.json file for npm). You won't have to edit this
file by hand very often.
Program.cs
using System;
namespace CsharpHelloWorld
