Would your users appreciate fewer errors? This extension, adds support for EditorConfig inside Code. EditorConfig fixes this by extracting configuration into a config file, that can be added to source control.

I tried writing a guide some years back, but the presented solution was still very handheld.

Sharing code style settings across a team or organization, has always been a mess in Visual Studio. Look ma, I'm so pretty in the Dracula skin. I don't know exactly why, but I keep coming back to the Dracula Theme (works in a lot of IDEs) and Code is no exception. Themes are available in Visual Studio as well, but it never really worked outside the ones provided by Microsoft (IMO). One of many nice things in Code, is the possibility of customizing the UI. A similar solution is available in Visual Studio, but the whole experience works much smoother in Code. Debugger for Chrome (release by Microsoft), let's you debug your source files directly in Code. No need to leave Code if you need to debug JavaScript. Code Spell Checkers work for most code files and even Markdown. I make typos all the time and I like it when they are fixed, even in code. I wouldn't recommend this if you started in Code, but for old school Visual Studio users as myself, this is an awesome extension. With Visual Studio Keymap, Code uses the same shortcuts for all overlapping features. One of the most common issues of changing an IDE, is to learn an entirely new set of shortcuts (still have nightmares from switching from Eclipse to Visual Studio years back). The experience isn't as great as in LINQPad, but it's at your fingertips.ДЄnother extension from Microsoft, brings your Visual Studio keyboard shortcuts into Code. Rather than starting LINQPad for C# or Chrome dev tools for JavaScript, Code Runner can execute one or more highlighted lines of code inside Code. I often find myself needing to try out a few lines of C# or JavaScript code. Jun Han developed another useful extension called Code Runner.

This is most likely the first extension you will ever install as a. Wait a minute! You need an extension to develop C# in Code? Since Code supports multiple programming languages, C# support is like any other language an extension. We still use Visual Studio to maintain Functions, because the tooling is better, but I can see where Microsoft is going with the support for Code.

I won't go into detail about Functions here, except to tell you how awesome they are (and we already wrote a series about developing and logging in Azure Functions). It's amazing how tiny improvements like these can make a world of difference.ДЄ lot of the elmah.io internals are written as Azure Functions. Auto Close Tag automatically adds a closing tag, which saves you quite a lot of keystrokes over time, while Auto Rename Tag renames closed tags automatically.

However, using these two extensions from Jun Han, will give you much of the same experience in Code. I don't usually write HTML in VSCode, since the HTML editor in Visual Studio 2017 is pretty awesome. This blog post is part of our Learn about. This post is a summary of all the different extensions we've found to make Code even better. We use Code for quickly previewing files, writing markdown, non C# programming, quick prototyping, and much more. We haven't replaced Visual Studio, but it's great for some aspects of our development process. Previously, we used a lot of different development tools (alongside Visual Studio), but that changed when Microsoft launched Visual Studio Code. Extending your IDE is the new black and we also use a lot of extensions every day in our daily work.
