Hello! I’m InsomAnaic_PTSD
I try to relearn programming after going through mandatory conscription. So I start with Unity
but after trying to install and set things up, I found out that C# dev kit extension on vs code does not support .csproj files generated by Unity. how can I fix this? any way to work around this?

OS: Windows 8.1 (x64)
Unity: V. 2022.3.3f1
IDE: VS Code v. 1.79.2
extension

  • C#: v.2.0.249
  • C# dev kit : v0.2.100

.NET SDK v.7.0.306
.NET Framework v.7.4.1 developer pack

maybe I should reinstall the extension but I don’t know which version will work?
Thank you in advance.

I’m not sure how c# dev kit works and what it can handle, but you should be fine using just the c# extension alone for unity

VSCode is no longer supported. There is a community driven github project where fixes are added to the VSCode plugin or package but I don’t have that link.

Welcome back to the productive non-lethal side of the world. :slight_smile: I wish you all the best in your recovery from military service and hope that unlike your handle, you are free of both insomnia and PTSD.

As CodeSmile points out, there is a way to use VSCode, but the official way is Visual Studio.

Remember you technically don’t need either one because Unity does 100% of the compilation when it builds. You technically could edit 100% of your code with Notepad if you wanted.

Here’s the skinny on Visual Studio, some of which may apply to VSCode:

This may help you with intellisense and possibly other Visual Studio integration problems:

Sometimes the fix is as simple as doing Assets → Open C# Project from Unity. Other times it requires more.

Other times it requires you also nuke the userprefs and .vsconfig and other crufty low-value high-hassle files that Visual Studio tends to slowly damage over time, then try the above trick.

Barring all that, move on to other ideas:

Also, try update the package inside of Unity: Window → Package Manager → Search for Visual Studio Editor → Press the Update button

Update: The VSC extension has been deprecated.

There is a community fork available that is receiving updates.

apparently Microsoft has built a new extension to work with the new c# Dev kit extension

I haven’t tried it yet, but maybe this solves the issue you were having
