Using the exercise files

- [Instructor] All the examples for this course are available to you as exercise files. The exercises for the first half of the course can be downloaded from the course page. If you are signed in to your account, you can download the zip file. There's an example of the zip files on the left side of the screen in File Explorer. In the second half of the course, the remainder of the exercise files are available on our LinkedIn Learning GitHub repository. You can see that in the browser on the right. Once you learn how to use the source control tools in Visual Studio, you'll want to clone the code repository to continue accessing the code samples. I'll explain the steps for cloning the repository later in the course. Regardless of where you access the exercise files, the zip file, or repository, you should build the project to ensure the code compiles and that you have the latest versions of the new Git packages available. Let me show you what I mean. I'll use the zip example. I'll double click on this SLN file to launch the solution in Visual Studio. Within Visual Studio, if I elect the Solution Explorer, I can see there are three projects; I'll discuss those as we get into the course; the key part for this demo is you want to go to the Build menu and choose Build Solution. And you see a status bar in the bottom showing the build process; also downloading any new Git packages necessary. Once you see the Build succeeded message, you can continue.
