Thanks for adding this!

[gewarren]

@danmoseley FYI we're adding a status check to this repo that builds any code snippets that are modified. But if the code snippet isn't associated with a project file, then you'll see a (non-blocking) error that asks you to add a project file.

@gewarren nice. I'm forgetting any context here. has the engineering team typically provided snippets (at least in recent times)? do we know how to offer new ones?

[gewarren]

@danmoseley I don't think there have been many code snippets (which are short examples that live in the dotnet/dotnet-api-docs repo) or samples (which are more complex examples that live in the dotnet/samples repo) contributed by the engineering team in recent times. But I am fairly new to the team. @BillWagner could maybe provide more insight into that.

The overall guidelines are here.

This was more just an FYI that there will be a new status check if someone changes any code snippets, and they will likely have to add a new project file to the repo.

[danmoseley]

just curious, why is a project file helpful?

if it's important, maybe if I add an entirely new snippet, it could block if it isn't in a project (new or existing)?

[gewarren]

Snippets 5000 uses the project file to build the snippet. And yes, it will fail if you add a new snippet that's not part of a project.
