Dunno, I'm using the ones you can download from here:

In VS C# I can just go to "File -> New Project -> Console Application", up
pops a "Program.cs" source code file with about 10 lines of code, a class
containing an empty "Main" method. I write "Console.WriteLine("Hello
World!");" and press F5. Job done.
Note that as I typed Con the autocomplete list popped up and Console was
highlighted so I just pressed enter, then when I pressed "." the next list
popped up of methods/properties of "Console", after I typed "W" it
highlighted "Write", but then I saw that "WriteLine" was below so I pressed
down arrow and enter again, then I typed "(" and I was given a list of
overloaded methods I could call, I just ignored that and entered my string,
assuming there would be one that took a string. Also if I made any mistake
(or paused for too long typing before completeing the statement) it got
underlined in red...
