How to use math.Net numerics in Visual Studios

Question

I am just testing to see if I can utilize math.Net Numerics for upcoming Linear Algebra classes and I am having trouble. I normally use R and Python but I felt like testing this out. I literally am brand new to Visual Studio. For some reason I get like 26 errors when trying to just test how to script for instance the first example in this website below. I added the math.Net Numerics 3.20.0 in the NuGet Package Manager. I also have attached what my UI looks like. Anybody know how I need to start the script. Do I need to open with a class and method?

https://numerics.mathdotnet.com/#Using-Math-NET-Numerics-with-C

Here is the code:

using MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra;
using MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.Double;

Matrix<double> A = DenseMatrix.OfArray(new double[,] {
        {1,1,1,1},
        {1,2,3,4},
        {4,3,2,1}});
Vector<double>[] nullspace = A.Kernel();

// verify: the following should be approximately (0,0,0)
(A* (2* nullspace[0] - 3* nullspace[1]))

Here are the errors when I copy and paste code into a new project in VS.

NVM figured it out.

using System;
using MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra;
using MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.Double;


namespace check1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Matrix<double> A = DenseMatrix.OfArray(new double[,] {
        {1,1,1,1},
        {1,2,3,4},
        {4,3,2,1}});
            Vector<double>[] nullspace = A.Kernel();

            // verify: the following should be approximately (0,0,0)
            Console.Write(A * (2 * nullspace[0] - 3 * nullspace[1]));
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}
