Select a Project

The Create New Project wizard provides two options to start you project:

Add a Theme to the Project

You can add a theme to the project by enabling the USE TELERIK THEMING option from the Wizard.

Choose between two themes—the Platform and the Telerik, and the available swatches for each.

Configure the Project

The wizard allows you to configure the following options:

• Project name
• Location of the created project (Output Path)
• License key file—the Telerik Visual Studio Code extension notifies you about a missing or outdated license key, and lets you install or update it.
• Your Telerik license (trial or commercial)
• The .NET version you want to use
