I purchased a Uno Wifi Rev 2 (R2) and have gotten it to work via coding in the Arduino IDE. But I would like to get it working via coding in Visual Studio (I have been using Community 2019 for programming my old Uno), but I get a bunch of errors upon compiling the same exact program in VS that I compiled/uploaded successfully in the Arduino IDE. Has anyone been able to successfully compile/upload the program below via VS?
/*
This example connects to an unencrypted WiFi network.
Then it prints the MAC address of the WiFi module,
the IP address obtained, and other network details.

Did want to point out that the vMicro in Visual Studio seems to be complaining about not being able to find the files within the WiFiNINA directory, but the files are all there. Perhaps it is looking in an unexpected area? Here's an example of the errors:
error*: WiFiNINA\WiFiClient.cpp:1:-1: No such file or directory
error*: WiFiNINA\WiFiServer.cpp:1:-1: No such file or directory
error*: WiFiNINA\WiFiUdp.cpp:1:-1: No such file or directory
error*: WiFiNINA\utility\spi_drv.cpp:1:-1: No such file or directory
error*: WiFiNINA\utility\wifi_drv.cpp:1:-1: No such file or directory
) so others that encounter the same problem and search for it can see that it is solved and a solution is provided.
