target .net framework vs .net core in cs-script 4.4.8.0 #71

Closed KareemAaron closed 1 year ago

Indeed, the current release of CS-Script targets .NET Core family runtime (.NET 6).

However, I still needed to write, debug, and test code in .net Framework 4.0.

How can I configure cs-script to target .net 4.0?

My system info is provided below.

It is a difficult one. Since .NET Framework is no longer in the .NET roadmap CS-SCript also has switched to .NET Core family.

You can definitely install CS-Release that targets .NET Framework (from here).

When it comes to Notepad++ you would be able to simply install an older version of the plugin but unfortunately, Notepad++ team has implemented recently some hosting API changes that invalidate some many older plugins including CS-Script.

Thus you will need to use Visual Studio for debugging. Or...you can use VSCode with CS_Script extension that supports debugging in the same IDE.

I use notepad++ (npp) portable. I'm considering downloading an older version of the application just to use cs-script.npp targeting .net 4.0.

I went back to npp 8.0.0 and CSScriptNpp.1.7.26.0.x64 but intellisense wasn't working.

Would you happen to recall the combination of npp and cs-script.npp that was the most stable (i.e., all features available including intelligence) when targeting .net 4.0?

This combination seems to work:
