Start a new project in VSCode

Question

There's a few things I'm having trouble with here that are related:

1. I'm trying to start a new project, but it keeps defaulting to the one I have open already. I can't seem to find a way to start fresh with a new project.

2. I can't figure out how to remove folders from the project. Say I added the wrong folder to my project and I want to remove it, how would I do this?

Thanks

Answer 1

1. File->New Window seems to do the trick
2. The projects are filesystem based. So if it's in your folder structure it'll be shown in VSCode; I believe this is by design. The only way to remove the folder would be to do so from the FS level.

Answer 2

1. Create a new Folder
2. Use VS Code to Open that empty folder.
3. Open the Integrated Terminal by selecting View\Terminal
4. In the terminal window, type dotnet new console.

This command creates a Program.cs file in your folder with a simple "Hello World" program already written, along with a C# project file named HelloWorld.csproj
