How to compile Arduino in Visual Studio?

Question

I am using Visual Studio to create a small Arduino sketch . I want to upload a sketch to my Arduino Uno . How to compile and load into Uno using Visual Studio?

Answer 1

You will need to install the Arduino plugin (called Visual Micro ).

Their getting started guide says the build option will compile and load the code into Arduino.

Answer 2

Bash is right. If you have Visual Micro installed, just press F5 or click on any of the usual Visual Studio Start / Start Debugging menus or toolbar commands,

A small green arrow on the toolbar pointing to the right will also work.
