308 PointsWhat to do if my workspace automatically reloaded and all work lost in console window?
I was working in workspace as it shows in video and did 90% work but then suddenly workspace decided to reload and I lost all my objects and other definition. What should I do now? Should I start from scratch? Isn't it better to use Visual studio instead of workspace? Why Treehouse encourage to use workspace?

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Noor Mufti! Your best bet is to find the workspace and delete it. Then go to the next video and click "Launch workspace". This will cause the workspace to be rebuilt with the code caught up to the current video.
As far as why Treehouse uses workspaces, it is typically a good "jumping off point" for people who want to try coding without installing a bunch of software on their computer first. You can absolutely use Visual Studio for this. You'll find the project files under the "Downloads" section under the video. In later courses, you will be using Visual Studio
Hope this helps!
