Newbie question - cannot get Console.WriteLine to work

[barq]

HI All,

I'm just starting on C# - I've .NET version v 2.0.507207 on my
machine.

I run a .cs having the following code from command line :

__________________________________
using System;

namespace FirstCSharpProgram

{

class FirstCSharpClass

{

static void Main()

{

Console.WriteLine ("Hello");

}

}

}

______________________________

I do not get any error , I do not get the "Hello" message either.

I just get some info about the C# compiler and the copyright stuff but
not the program's output.

Am I doing something wrong?


Thanks in advance

Your looking at the wrong tab. Click the output tab.

The compiler will not execute the program for you. Do it yourself by
running the executable file it produces (FirstCSharpClass.exe or
whatever it might be called).

Once you get the other stuff figured out, add this line before the closing
brace of "Main":

Console.ReadLine();

This will keep your Console Window open so you can see the output until you
hit the ENTER key.

I run a .cs having the following code from command line :

You can't *run* a .cs file. You *compile* a .cs file, and then you run
the resulting executable.

Sounds like you're compiling but not running.

No need for that when running on the command line

LOL to original poster. Ignore my answer, i didnt read your post thoroughly.
Thought you were running a windows application inside vis studio.
