Visual Studio Code is my preferred IDE for .NET Core development because:
- It's fast
- It's highly customizable
- And did I mention fast?
So as a .NET Core developer, here's my list of must have extensions:
- C# - you need this to get intelli sense, Go to definition, Find all references
- MS Build Project Tools - Gives you NuGet package intellisense in the *.proj files
- Visual Studio Team Services - Lets to integrate with TFS/Visual Studio.com and access Work Items
- vscode-icons - Turns VS Code from this
to this
I think these 4 extensions are the bare minimum, but the following are highly recommended:
- GitLens - Give you more git stats using CodeLens
- C# Extensions - Give you more refactoring and text expansion snippets for C#
Do you have other awesome extensions that you use? Let me know in the comment.
