title: Visual Studio Code, C# support on Windows
body: <p>I want to try out a new editor from Microsoft - Visual Studio Code.
  I want to implement a simple app (like Hello, World) and be able to debug it. But after a lot of googling and trying, I didn't manage to do that. Is that possible? I have Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015 installed.</p>
  
  <p>What I've tried to do:</p>
  
  <p>1) Uncomment the following in the tasks.json file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "command": "msbuild",
  "args": [
      // Ask msbuild to generate full paths for file names.
      "/property:GenerateFullPaths=true"
  ],
  "taskSelector": "/t:",
  "showOutput": "silent",
  "tasks": [
      {
          "taskName": "build",
          // Show the output window only if unrecognized errors occur.
          "showOutput": "silent",
          // Use the standard MS compiler pattern to detect errors, warnings
          // and infos in the output.
          "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But compiling (ctrl-shift-b) fails with the error: "Failed to launch external program msbuild .
  spawn msbuild ENOENT"</p>
  
  <p>2) Read this article: <a href="http://michaelcrump.net/creating-and-debugging-console-apps-with-vscode/" rel="noreferrer">http://michaelcrump.net/creating-and-debugging-console-apps-with-vscode/</a>, but I don't have any project.json file, also "<code>dnx . run</code>" fails with the error "<em>System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve project</em>"</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to run simple C# app in VS Code? I'm wondering why it's so complicated. Probably, I'm missing something, any ideas are welcome.</p>
  
  <p>Update 1: Adding msbuild to path helps</p>
