It might be a silly question, Let's say I don't have a Windows OS, have a Linux. I have created a .Net core console app, also want to create a class library and reference it in console app. I can't find if i am able to do it also couldn't find a sample on Microsoft .Net core page. Is there an extension in vs code? Or isn't it possible with it? If i am mistaken could you please guide me?

Start Visual Studio Code. In the Open Folder dialog, create a ClassLibraryProjects folder and click Select Folder (Open on macOS). Open the Terminal in Visual Studio Code by selecting View > Terminal from the main menu. The Terminal opens with the command prompt in the ClassLibraryProjects folder.
A class library is a collection of class definitions contained in a . dll or .exe file. In order to use the class library, you must first add a reference to the library (see "How to add references to your Visual Studio Project").
4) right click your solution file and click Add --> Existing Project --> go to your folder of class library and select project file. 5)once project is added to the solution, you need to add reference to your window application. 7)select solution and check your class library project. and press OK.
The best way to do it is from the console, since you are using the latest supported templates this way. VSCode also has an integrated terminal you can use for this.
$ dotnet new lib -o MyLib
$ dotnet new sln #assuming there is no .sln file yet. if there is, skip this
$ dotnet sln add MyLib/MyLib.csproj
$ cd MyConsoleApp
$ dotnet add reference ../MyLib/MyLib.csproj
If you need different frameworks, you can use the -f argument:
$ dotnet new lib -o MyLib -f netcoreapp2.0
or manually change the <TargetFramework> element inside the generated .csproj file.
