Assembly Language with Visual Studio Code

This blog article shows you how to run Assembly Language using Visual Studio Code. This article expects you to have already used Visual Studio Code somewhere. Open Visual Studio Code, click on the Extension. Install MASM/TASM.

Click on Explorer. Add a new file with the extension asm, for example I used test.asm.

Type the following code.

.model small

.stack

.data

    msg db “Hello World!”, 13, 10, “$”

.code
start:
mov ax, @data
mov ds, ax                 ; set DS to point to data segment
mov dx, offset msg        ; point to the string
mov ah, 09h                 ; function to print the string
int 21h                     ; execute the function

mov ax, 4C00h             ; function to terminate the program
int 21h                     ; execute
end start

Right click on the code page and select Run ASM code.

The result is on the following screen.
