Where to go for help
This section is all about how to find quality information about programming on the web.
Reading documentation on Microsoft Learn
The definitive resource for getting help with Microsoft developer tools and platforms is in the technical documentation on Microsoft Learn, and you can find it at the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/docs.
Getting help for the dotnet tool
At the command prompt, you can ask the dotnet
tool for help with its commands. The syntax is:
dotnet help <command>
This will cause your web browser to open a page in the documentation about the specified command. Common dotnet
commands include new
, build
, and run
.
Warning! The dotnet help new
command worked with .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6, but it returns an error with .NET 7 or later: Specified command 'new' is not a valid SDK command. Specify a valid SDK command. For more information, run dotnet help.
Hopefully, the .NET team will fix...
