Visual Studio remains the IDE of choice for large multi-project solutions, deep debugging, and profiling. Factory and SaaS solutions with many services and test projects are often opened here for analysis and performance work.
Engineers work in Visual Studio and VS Code with EditorConfig, C# tooling for .NET 10, and extensions for Azure, Docker, and Bicep—matching what Factory templates and pipelines expect.
Tooling choices stay compatible with client mandates where required, but ConnectSoft repos standardize on formats and analyzers that keep contributions consistent.
The right IDE setup removes friction—our conventions let new contributors become productive on Azure-backed .NET codebases quickly.
