C# Dev Kit is a Visual Studio Code extension made by Microsoft that adds full C# support to the editor. Without it, VS Code has no understanding of C# — with it, you get the tools you need to write, run, and debug C# programs.

What it adds#

Installing C# Dev Kit gives VS Code three things it doesn’t have by default for C#:

Intelligent autocomplete — as you type, VS Code suggests completions based on the C# language and your project’s code. It shows available methods, properties, and variables so you don’t have to remember everything.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free, lightweight code editor made by Microsoft. It supports almost every programming language and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What it includes out of the box#

VS Code comes with the core features you’d expect from any IDE — a code editor with syntax highlighting, a file explorer, an integrated terminal, and Git support. It handles the basics well for most languages without any extra setup.
