Monogame on windows + Visual studio code

Windows

Hi,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use Visual studio code to run monogame applications on windows? I’ve seen some old threads about this but nowhere is it claimed that it either works or doesn’t.

BR,
Robert

I used to code Monogame in VS Code. Both on linux and windows.
I would create the project with VS Community and then code from there in VS Code. Everytime I added a .cs file I would manually edit the .csproj so that it would be compiled.

These are settings files (launch.json and tasks.json) for VS code on Windows: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AuKSxKmHzxT3luNXknAi0LouKtKRIw (OneDrive.com)

I’m pretty sure I followed the steps from ZeroSigma here: Visual Studio Code and Monogame?

Thanks for the reply, I tried this out and was able to make it work by following zerosigmas steps and tweaking the proj.cs file a little bit for the different errors I got. Just forgot to properly respond here, but agains thanks :slight_smile:

I can also add that I was not able to make debugging work with vs code, so I’m back to using visual studio for monogame.
