Which workload i have to download in visual studio for C#

Question

I am currently on "Your First C# Program" and SoloLearn tells me to install Visual Studio Community. When i am in the Visual Studio installer it asks me which workloads i want to install. Which workloads do i need for the purposes of the SoloLearn tutorial for C#?

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to do

.NET desktop development

is a good one too

It is like learning language. Start with one discover what you can and can't do with it. And try another one if you want more than the system can offer.

Answer 2

Thanks a lot, so that will work for the purposes of the SoloLearn C# tutorial?

Answer 3

Universal Windows Platform development and. NET desktop development are likely what you want.

Answer 4

I want to be able to get through the SoloLearn C# tutorial. So I need all the workloads I need to get through.

Answer 5

Then it is enough to start with

.Net desktop development

because this one has the console apps in it.

Answer 6

you can use empty workload. anyway you can download their later. But its better if u download "universal windows platform development". good luck :3

Answer 7

Ok, thanks. Then this question is answered!

Answer 8

Can you name the options it has been a while since I installed VisualStudio so am having trouble remembering the options. But when reminded I may be able to help

Answer 9

I will list the different ones in the classes they are listed in. Windows: Universal Windows Platform development, .NET desktop development, Desktop development with C++
Web and Cloud: ASP.NET and web development, Azure development, Python development, Node.js development, Data storage and processing, Data science and analytical applications, Office/SharePoint development
Mobile and Gaming: Mobile development with .NET, Game development with Unity, Mobile development with JavaScript, Mobile development with C++, Game development with C++
Other Toolsets: Visual Studio extension development, Linux development with C++, .NET Core cross-platform development

All the Workloads have descriptions too, should not be too hard to just access the installer and click “Modify” just to see them all without doing anything.

Answer 10

Either of the two I suggested should allow you to complete the SoloLearn course
