Help with Arduino ESP32 project in Visual Studio please

[orbitcoms]

I have created my first Arduino for ESP32 project in Visual Studio that uses the visual gdb tools.

The code compiles and runs ok but I cannot figure out how to use Serial.print() within a class in the ".cpp" files for debugging.

Also, I want to be able to run native ESP-IDF functions within the main sketch but cannot figure out how to get the compiler to accept this?

Thanks in advance
