Actually i asked the question before but i guess i didn't make myself clear.

I am kind of new at Visual Studio. And i downloaded the source codes from there
[^]

And i opened Form1.cs and Program.cs, but i was not able to Debug it. When i copy the codes and paste it to a new project, debug option becomes available.

My question is how do i run a program in Visual Studio when i download the source codes from here? What is the problem here?

Thank you

You can only debug .csproj or .sln files. Single .cs files are not allowed to be debugged unless they are a part of an existing project.

How can i run the .cs projects?

If you have a .csproj file or a .sln file, if you double click on that, that should allow you to debug/run that project. Otherwise, if you have a loose .cs file, you will have to import it into a new project that you create yourself, depending on what type of project the .cs file represents (windows forms, console, web app, etc).

There is no problem. You just need to ensure that you create a project with Debug set. If the project is downloaded from the internet that may mean changing some settings before you build it.

Look at the Project Settings for the project. Also use the help system.
