Intellisense for Visual Studio Code is not working on (C#) (Mac)

Question

Hi,

I am a complete beginner and have been making my way through the 'Foundational C# with Microsoft" course and have run into an issue at this section:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/training/modules/csharp-call-methods/4-return-values-input-parameters

This unit mentions Intellisense and I am not having class or method suggestions or anything like that pop up as i am typing code into VS Code. The closest i get when i write something like 'Console' is below: It seems as if a lot more options should come up? Am i missing something entirely?

I have a Macbook pro (Ventura 13.4.1), am using Visual Studio Code version 1.88.0 and have the following extensions installed:

• .Net Install Tool (v2.0.3)
• C# (v2.23.15)
• C# Dev Kit (v1.4.29)
• Intellicode for C# Dev Kit (v0.1.26)
• Unity (v1.0.1)

I have tried installing older versions of all of the above extensions but am still unable to get Intellisense to work. Really enjoying the course so far so I would love to get this fixed so i can keep progressing!

Cheers

For anyone reading this that has this same problem.

I solved it for me by going to settings and searching for "Dotnet: Prefer CSharp Extension", checking the box and reloading the window.

Not sure how this impacts other areas of VS Code but it is working for me in the mean time.
