I have a stand alone .cs file with a class and some methods in it. Go to Definition doesn't seem to be working. I saw somewhere some comments about the feature requiring a project.json file, is that correct?

At first I thought this may have had something to do with the file not having been saved, but even after saving it, it still doesn't seem to work.

For some test data paste the below into a new window:

public class MyClass
{
    private void GetRecent()
    {
        // Get the thing
    }

    private void Load()
    {
        
        GetRecent();
    }
}

Click on the GetRecent call in the Load Method and then hit F12

In general, you'll need to have a project to get features like Go to Definition and IntelliSense working. It doesn't have to be a project.json file. A .csproj will work fine.

Making features work better in standalone files is on our backlog. We're tracking the work with #47.

Thanks @DustinCampbell I can work with that. I've transitioned from Sublime for my everyday editor to VSCode, and I'm enjoying it so far, this was one of my few, small, gripes. Cheers.
