Hi all,
I'm very new to learning C# and I've delved into the book Head First C# 5th Edition. I've only coded using VS Code before so this is my first look at using Visual Studio.
In the first project, I set it up as per the book, using a .NET MAUI project. I've added the button and it tells you to add an Event Listener and this should automatically add the code to MainPage.xaml.cs, however, it didn't.
After a few tries, I tried clicking the intelliSense of <New Event Handler> and I get a pop-up saying "Failed to create event handler".
Here's a screenshot of what i'm seeing on my side:
I ended up having a slight nightmare the first time I tried it and for whatever reason the Toolbox wasn't showing anything. I found online to reset that and once I finally was able to drag it into my MainPage.xaml, the properties was picking up nothing other than my vertical stack so I did just reinstall the software and re-create the project. I also have followed along to the YouTube video they create alongside the book to see if I'd clicked something accidentally:
I also appreciate I could do it manually, but i'm just very curious on what it could be?
Sorry, this is super new to me, would appreciate any help.
Cheers.
