How to set up a .Net development environment on a Mac 

They've done a lot of work, it's surprisingly easy to just write C# on a mac now.

No arguments here

I would use VS Code on a Mac any day over visual studio for Mac. Not even close. You should give Rider a try. It’s not free, but I really like using it

I'll see what I can do

Arm64

Rider. I know it costs money, but it’s so nice

@@lukeconner well, I'm still studying and I have the pro version through Education Github! and I still have 3 years to finish my degree lol

Look up, how to install homebrew. That’s a separate program

So think about it this way. Your page of code only knows what's on that page. If you want it to know about something not on that page you use a using statement. For instance, you may need to work with JSON, and you have a using System.Text.Json; That let's the page know I'm going to be calling some json commands, and that's where you can find them. The using statement you're using is not needed. The error is saying, you're telling me to look for this thing and I have no idea what you're talking about. So just leave that off.

I use SQLPro Studio, specifically the version that supports all the different types of databases. sqlpro.onfastspring.com For MySQL specifically the official MySQL workbench actually works pretty well.

Another great option is dbeaver.io It also supports MySQL and most of the other popular database types.

Wow! I’m glad i came across ur channel and even managed to comment cuz I barely do that. Such a fast response Thanks

They are all not free tho, One more question before I purchase it, Will I have exactly the same MySQL experience without missing windows? Or is there any way i can use trial first before subscribing, do you have any video where u used it to build something? Thanks

@@TomActiveCruise it has a trial version

Solo tienes que seleccionar abrir en una nueva ventana, si te deja hacer eso.

No, but you can use Maui

Do you see the icons on the left? If you have the folders area open, and you click the folders icon it will collapse. Click it again to open it.

@@lukeconner Hi Luke, thank you for the reply. I tried to attach a printscreen link but yt deleted it. Probably thinking it's a spam. So, on the left side (Explorer tab) I have >bin >obj consoletest.csproj consoletest.sln Program.cs bin folder just appeared right after my initial comment, but vscode is still missing. Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Which IDE are you using? And do you mean run locally to debug or actually deploy?

Unfortunately no, only .net core on Mac, and Web Forms are part of .net 4

​@@lukeconnerunderstood, my teacher assigned us a very basic project in Web Forms, I hope he doesn't mind if I do it using Blazor Server instead. Thanks for the help!

At this point it should be, I’m currently using .net 8. You may need to update Rider.

dev is the name of the folder I had on my computer. You wouldn't use the name of the folder you are working in.

@@lukeconner i understood that part and i succeeded, but i failed in the following sections

@@emreerdogan3817 Where is it failing?
