Features of the Hello World demo
We will implement the following feature in the C# .NET Hello World Project:
Launch Visual Studio 2017. Select File > New > Project from the menu bar. In the New Project* dialog, select the Visual C# node followed by the .NET Core node. Then select the Console App (.NET Core) project template. In the Name text box, type "HelloWorld". Select the OK button.
New Project dialog with Console App selected
Visual Studio uses the template to create your project. The C# Console Application template for .NET Core automatically defines a class, Program, with a single method, Main, that takes a String array as an argument. Main is the application entry point, the method that's called automatically by the runtime when it launches the application. Any command-line arguments supplied when the application is launched are available in the args array.
Visual Studio and the new HelloWorld project
The template creates a simple "Hello World" application. It calls the Console.WriteLine(String) method to display the literal string "Hello World!" in the console window. By selecting the HelloWorld button with the green arrow on the toolbar, you can run the program in Debug mode. If you do, the console window is visible for only a brief time interval before it closes. This occurs because the Main method terminates and the application ends as soon as the single statement in the Main method executes.
To cause the application to pause before it closes the console window, add the following code immediately after the call to the Console.WriteLine(String) method:
C#
Copy
Console.Write("Press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey(true);
This code prompts the user to press any key and then pauses the program until a key is pressed.
On the menu bar, select Build > Build Solution. This compiles your program into an intermediate language (IL) that's converted into binary code by a just-in-time (JIT) compiler.
Run the program by selecting the HelloWorld button with the green arrow on the toolbar.

Press any key to close the console window.
Enhancing the Hello World application
Enhance your application to prompt the user for their name and display it along with the date and time. To modify and test the program, do the following:
Enter the following C# code in the code window immediately after the opening bracket that follows the static void Main(string[] args) line and before the first closing bracket:
C#
Copy
Console.WriteLine("
What is your name? ");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var date = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine($"
Hello, {name}, on {date:d} at {date:t}!");
Console.Write("
Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey(true);
This code replaces the existing Console.WriteLine, Console.Write, and Console.ReadKey statements.
Visual Studio Program c-sharp file with updated Main method
This code displays "What is your name?" in the console window and waits until the user enters a string followed by the Enter key. It stores this string into a variable named name. It also retrieves the value of the DateTime.Now property, which contains the current local time, and assigns it to a variable named date. Finally, it uses an interpolated string to display these values in the console window.
Compile the program by choosing Build > Build Solution.
Run the program in Debug mode in Visual Studio by selecting the green arrow on the toolbar, pressing F5, or choosing the Debug > Start Debugging menu item. Respond to the prompt by entering a name and pressing the Enter key.
Console window with modified program output
Press any key to close the console window.
