Directly translating and running C# files is called file-based apps by Microsoft. If requirements grow, file-based apps are not a dead end.
Developers can convert a file-based app into a C# project with a .csproj project file using a command-line command:
dotnet project convert .\Filename.cs

This creates a new folder and a project file that adopts the preprocessor information from the C# file.
However, if the files Filename.settings.json and Filename.run.json exist, they are ignored during conversion.
The individual C# file becomes a C# project (Fig. 2).
