When trying to work with Visual Studio Code on a C# DotNet Core MVC application, I am having a lot of trouble getting visual studio code to work. It is having trouble finding anything related to C#, marking even 'Using System;' as invalid, saying it can't find it.
However, when I run a Dotnet build, it succeeds with no warnings or errors and the project runs.
My project.json:
{
"version": "1.0.0-*",
"buildOptions": {
"debugType": "portable",
"emitEntryPoint": true
},
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"version": "1.1.0",
"type": "platform"
},
"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design": {
"version": "1.1.0",
"type": "build"
},
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.EnvironmentVariables": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Logging": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions": "1.1.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles": "1.1.0"
},
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.1": {
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"type": "platform",
"version": "1.1.0"
}
},
"imports": "dnxcore50"
}
}
}
Any ideas? I'm really pulling my hair out with this one.
Sometimes C# for Visual Studio Code (powered by OmniSharp) becomes confused.
Try restarting OmniSharp. Here are two ways:
Restart Omnisharp
. OmniSharp tends to become confused if we restore dependencies from the command line instead of from within Visual Studio Code.
