In the notes and projects, I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2022:
-
Download Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.0 or later for Windows from the following link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
-
Once the installer has launched, select the following Workloads:
- ASP.NET and Web Development
- Azure development
- .NET desktop development
- Desktop development with C++
- Universal Windows Platform development
- Mobile development with .NET
You may have to access the Workloads through the "Visual Studio Installer" > Installed tab > Modify button on Visual Studio Community 2022 card.
-
On the Individual components tab, in the Code tools section select the following:
- Class Designer
- Git for Windows
- PreEmptive Protection - Dotfuscator
-
Click Install, then Launch.
This part is not necessary if you are going to just use Visual Studio 2022 to follow this guide. However, if you prefer to use Visual Studio Code to follow along then please install the extensions in steps 2-5 below:
- Download and install either the Stable build of Visual Studio Code from the following link: https://code.visualstudio.com/.
