How to specify training to use Visual Studio instead of command line

Hi Steven Scearce IV,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.  

It looks like the learning path switched to Visual Studio Code midway, but you can definitely continue using Visual Studio if that’s your preferred IDE. Here’s what you can do: 

1.Stay with Visual Studio: You can follow the same steps that are provided for Visual Studio Code but apply them to Visual Studio. When it comes to creating projects, debugging, or running your Blazor app, Visual Studio offers similar tooling. For instance: 

Instead of using the Command Palette in VS Code to create a new Blazor app, in Visual Studio, you can simply go to File > New > Project and choose Blazor Web App. 

For running and debugging, Visual Studio provides an integrated experience without needing to install additional extensions like the C# Dev Kit. 

2.Command-Line Instructions: If there are any CLI-based instructions (like dotnet new blazor), you can run those commands directly from Visual Studio’s integrated terminal (View > Terminal) or your preferred terminal outside of Visual Studio. 

The key difference is just that Visual Studio Code uses additional extensions (C# Dev Kit) for Blazor development, while Visual Studio already has full support for Blazor built in.
