Fedora 32 : Visual Code and C# on Fedora distro.

Today I will show you how to use Visual Code with C#.

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/
vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > 
/etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'

Then use dnf to check and install this editor.

#dnf check-update
#dnf install code

Use Extensions button or Ctrl+Shift+X keys to open in the left side area and intall the C# extension from Microsoft by pressing the Install button, see:
