Visual Studios "get, set" not working.

So I tried writing the code he has written in Visual Studios but it did not even seem to recognize the function. Everytime I write 'get', another option pops up. Am I doing it wrong or is this not compatible with Visual Studios?

You might want to use the provided environment for this course.

If you're using a different environment, you might need to establish some configuration parameters for compatibility. You'd probably need to share some more specific examples for anyone to be able to make suggestions.

But why not use the provided environment for this course? If you continue with the C# courses, later ones will actually guide you through setting up and working in the Visual Studio environment.

In visual studio type propfull, press tab and it create private variable and its getters and setters automatically for you. Try using that

Hi Muhammad, I am also using Visual Studio and had the same problem. You probably already know, but in the next video (Auto - Properties) Jeremy fixes the problem and you will be able to compile in Visual Studio.
