The Visual Studio Project - Sibz/YASEL GitHub Wiki

This page will help you understand the VS project.

First off you need to ensure references are set up: see Setting up VS

How It Works

The file structure/namespace usage is intended to be used with Yasel Exporter, which 'compiles' your code and copies it to clipboard, ready to be pasted in game.

Namespaces

• Each file has its own namespace, and the namespace is the name of the file.
• This way, when you want to use the code in another file, you can use the 'using' keyword to get type hinting.
• Only one namespace per file is supported

Using directives

• So Exporter knows to include a file, and to provide hinting, you use 'using' directives to include other code
• These should be inside the namespace
• The standard using directives at the top are ignored by YASEL Exporter.

Main Program

• Main program file should be put under the Programs folder
• It can be called anything but the namespace still needs to be the same as file name
• It should have only 1 class, and extended from Program.Program i.e. class MyProgram : Program.Program

For an example see Example Program

Include Files

• Include files can be named anything and put anywhere, again namespace must be the file name
• Can only include classes, A C# constraint, only classes can be contained within a namespace

Extension Files

• Can include files to be extension methods
• Name the namespace and class the same as filename, and append the work Extensions
