Can I export a project done in Unity to Microsoft Visual Studio?

I tried selecting my project from menu Preferences->External Script Editor->Microsoft Visual Studio, but when I run the application, I get this error:

A project with an Output type of Class Library cannot be started directly

Have I done something wrong? If so, what?

  • That's because you can't run a class library, there's no executable for it. You don't directly run DLL's. – mason Jul 18 '14 at 18:21
  • And I can use classes and my code in a WPF project? – Diacoenscu Cristian Jul 18 '14 at 18:23
  • I can't answer that, as I'm unfamiliar with Unity development in VS. However, C# is C#. Even if your Unity Class Library isn't portable, you should be able to reuse code through linking project files. You may want to add a tag to your question so that people familiar with Unity are more likely to see it. – mason Jul 18 '14 at 18:28

Microsoft have now acquired UnityVS company SyntaxTree, and are offering the UnityVS plugin for free for Visual Studio 2010-2013 Professional or higher. This should allow you to run Unity projects from within Visual Studio.

You can download it here, or get it from the Visual Studio Extensions Gallery.
