Check Professional C# and .NET - 2021 Edition for the code samples of the next edition of the book.

Code samples for the Wrox Press book Professional C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0

To compile and run the samples, you need Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio for Mac, or Visual Studio Code.

You can download these tools here: Visual Studio.

The console app samples can be used on Windows, Linux, or Mac. Here is the installation procedure for .NET Core: .NET on Linux

If you're using Visual Studio, Update 5 or a later version of Visual Studio 2017 is needed. With the Visual Studio Installer you need to select this workload to compile most of the code samples: .NET Core cross-platform development.

ASP.NET Core samples need this workload: ASP.NET and web development.

Windows app samples require Windows 10, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (build 16299) or a later version. With the Windows app samples, Visual Studio 2017 Update 5 is required with this workload: Universal Windows Platform Development.

Compiling the Xamarin samples, you have different options using a Mac or a Windows system:

• On the Mac, you can install Visual Studio for Mac to compile the Android and iOS samples.

• On Windows 10, you can use Visual Studio 2017. To compile the iOS samples, you also need a Mac. Using only Windows 10, you can compile and run the Windows and Android code samples.
