Visual C# Button to implement into SharePoint

[mstgier]

Dear Pros,

I am moved around, regarding creating a Button in SharePoint.

After talking to some SharePoint people, they recommended to build the button with VisualStudio.

I have unfortunately no experience with VisualStudio nor with C# and to import on such way, that it works.

I was able to build my button for a test and it was running.

Then I opened a new project in VisualStudio - "SharePoint 2016 Visual Web Part" and copied my C# line at the end. (see code at the end)

Trying to add the web part in SharePoint, I get the following message:

$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;

At the end, I do not mind, if the code is written in C# or C++ or something similar (I anyway need to learn any language), as long as it is working in SharePoint. Maybe for SharePoint, there is it's own language?

What I will need at the end is, to open a PowerShell file by pressing a button on a sharepoint site and it will open(locally on the host and not on the server) that will be the long term target, that is why I am trying now to play around with notepad as a start.

Can anyone please help me, to explain to me, how I can implement such a button into SharePoint?

Thank you very much,

Mike
