Microsoft Visual Studio Code
I'm new to programming. I've been practicing for over two months now.
I just love VS Code, it's fast to launch to start coding.
How can I setting it up to compile or debug my code in it?
The settings are all confusing.

I also have VS 2015 and MinGW (C:\MinGW) installed.

Currently I am using VS2015 to compile my code.
VS2015 is slow to start.

Use VS 2015, it provides a debugger for all compiled languages. Visual Studio Code provides limited features.

The OP is talking about Visual Studio Code, which is not the same as Visual Studio. https://code.visualstudio.com/.

Referring to this document: Visual Studio Code - Debugging[^]

Quote:
Today we have good debugging support for Node.js (JavaScript and TypeScript) on all platforms and experimental support for Mono (C# and F#) on OS X and Linux.

Mono support for C# and F# is experimental and only available on OS X and Linux, but not yet on Windows. This means that you cannot debug your C# applications in Visual Studio Code if you're on Windows; you'll have to use another Visual Studio version (such as VS 2015 Express or VS 2015 Community) to debug your applications.
