You development machine will need Visual Studio as well as
the Spludlow Framework up and running.
The main tool for Developing on Windows is “Visual Studio”.
The free edition is known as “Visual Studio Community”. All
that is really missing from the free edition are features to benefit teams of
developers and high end enterprise testing tools.
One other notable feature missing is “CodeLens” it shows you
things like what other code is referencing a method, pretty handy but if you’ve
never used it you won’t miss it.
You can now create Windows Services with the free edition
since the 2017 version.
Configure what features are installed and update the program
using the “Visual Studio Installer” application after installation.
In the main “Workloads” section tick the following:
·
.net Desktop Development
·
ASP.NET
Then go to the second main tab “Individual Components” and
ensure you tick everything required for the version of .net being targeted.
