The C# support in Visual Studio Code is optimized for cross-platform .NET Core development (see working with .NET Core and VS Code for another relevant article). Our focus with VS Code is to be a great editor for cross-platform C# development.
VS Code supports debugging of C# applications running on either .NET Core or Mono.
Sep 28, 2014 In this post I will explain how to setup the SDL in Visual Studio. I will be using Visual Studio 2013, but I believe the steps are quite similar (if not the same) in other versions. For whom does not know, the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access. Using SDL with Microsoft Visual C by Lion Kimbro and additions by James Turk You can either use the precompiled libraries from the SDL Download web site, or you can build SDL yourself.

Note:VS Code has limited support for debugging applications running on the Desktop .NET Framework.
Due to this focus, many standard C# project types are not recognized by VS Code. An example of a non-supported project type is an ASP.NET MVC Application (though ASP.NET Core is supported). In these cases, if you want to have a lightweight tool to edit a file - VS Code has you covered. If you want the best possible experience for those projects and development on Windows in general, we recommend you use Visual Studio Community.
C# language support is an optional install from the Marketplace. You can install it from within VS Code by searching for 'C#' in the Extensions view (⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)) or if you already have a project with C# files, VS Code will prompt you to install the extension as soon as you open a C# file.
In addition to the Microsoft C# extension, the community has produced other extensions.
Tip: The extensions shown above are dynamically queried. Click on an extension tile above to read the description and reviews to decide which extension is best for you. See more in the Marketplace.
Visual Studio Code uses the power of Roslyn and OmniSharp to offer an enhanced C# experience. We offer support for:
On startup the best matching projects are loaded automatically but you can also choose your projects manually. The status bar will show what projects have been loaded and also allows you to select a different set of projects. To do so, click on the status bar projects item and select Change projects…. In the image below a single project has been picked up:
The available options include:
project.json file will open a .NET Core project and VS Code will load that project plus the referenced projects.*.sln file opens a MSBuild-project. It will load the referenced *.csproj projects and sibling or descendant project.json files but no other project files that are referenced from the solution file.folder will make VS Code scan for *.sln, project.json and *.csx files (C# scripts) and VS Code will attempt to load them all.Once the project is loaded the enhanced experiences light up..
There is a lot to discover with C# and the editor, such as format on type, IntelliSense, the rename-refactoring, etc.
For a full description of our editing features, go to the Basic Editing and Code Navigation documentation.
Here are a few highlights..
IntelliSense just works: hit ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space) at any time to get context specific suggestions.
We have several built-in snippets included in VS Code that will come up as you type or you can press ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space) (Trigger Suggest) and we will give you a context specific list of suggestions.
Tip: You can add in your own User Defined Snippets for C#. Take a look at User Defined Snippets to find out how.
Voice auto tune free download - Auto Tune Voice Changer, Auto Tune Singer Voice Changer, Auto Tune Voice Recorder For Singing, and many more programs. Auto tune recording software free.
There are also features outside the editor. One is the ability to search for symbols from wherever you are. Hit ⌘T (Windows, Linux Ctrl+T), start typing, and see a list of matching C# symbols. Select one and you'll be taken straight to its code location.
Another cool feature is the ability to see the number of references to a method directly above the method. Click on the reference info to see the references in the Peek view. This reference information updates as you type.
Note: Methods defined in object, such as equals and hashCode do not get reference information due to performance reasons.
Tip: You can turn off references information displayed in CodeLens with the editor.codeLenssetting.
You can click on the references of an object to find the locations of its use in place without losing context. This same experience works in reverse where you can Peek the definition of an object and see it inline without leaving your location.
There are some basic quick fixes supported in VS Code. You will see a lightbulb and clicking on it, or pressing ⌘. (Windows, Linux Ctrl+.) provides you with a simple list of fixes/suggestions.
Read on to find out about:
VS Code only supports a limited set of project types (primarily .NET Core). For full .NET project support, we suggest you use Visual Studio Community.
This is typically as a result of the current project type not being supported. You can see an indication in the OmniSharp flame in the bottom left hand side of the status bar.
VS Code supports tasks for build and natively understand the output of MSBuild, CSC, XBuild. Find out more in the Tasks documentation.
The Visual Studio Code C# extension can generate the assets you need to build and debug. If you missed the prompt when you first opened a new C# project, you can still perform this operation through the Command Palette (View > Command Palette) by typing '.NET', and running .NET: Generate Assets for Build and Debug. This command will generate the necessary launch.json and tasks.json configuration files (under the .vscode folder).
