Just picked up and started learning and coding with C#. The online course I am learning from is using Microsoft Visual Studio for C# outputting to a console application.

I have downloaded Visual Studio Community from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ but the C# coding language does not have console application as output. Not sure if I am looking at the correct place/ or have downloaded the correct application to code and run C#.

Do the newest versions of Microsoft Visual Studio have this option available? I havent been able to locate or find it in open/create new C# project. Pardon my silly questions, but any help/helpful links are much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, this option/project type is still available in VS2017. To get this project type, you need to install correct workload i.e. .Net Desktop Development. Then searching Console from New Project window, will give you the project type.

The question states that Visual Studio has already been downloaded. As far as using dotnet new, what is the question author supposed to do with that? Linking to documentation isn't sufficient; you should describe how it applies to this problem, and how to achieve the goal of creating a project that can be edited in Visual Studio.
