Visual Studio Code for productive .NET and Azure teams

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

Visual Studio Code is the default lightweight editor for ConnectSoft engineers working on .NET, Blazor, TypeScript, and infrastructure files. Extensions for C#, Azure, and Docker align with our delivery toolchain.

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.

Why we use it:

  • C# Dev Kit or C# extension for .NET 10
  • Azure and Bicep extensions for IaC
  • EditorConfig aligned with repo standards
  • Remote containers when teams use dev containers
  • Repo-wide EditorConfig and analyzer rules
  • Azure and container tooling aligned with deployment targets
  • Debugging and profiling hooks for ASP.NET Core services
