A Community Effort – Thank You!<\/h2>\n

Since our initial preview in June, we have received both quantifiable data and invaluable community feedback that have shaped this product. Approximately 350 issues, primarily reported by our community, have been addressed. These enhancements range from quality improvements to scenario clarifications. Your active engagement has led to over 300 targeted improvements, rendering a more robust and reliable extension. This combined effort was crucial in our decision to transition from preview to general availability and to initiate official support for Visual Studio subscribers.<\/p>\n

What is C# Dev Kit?<\/h2>\n

The C# Dev Kit leverages the core C# language services<\/a> and delivers additional productivity<\/a> value to developers. While these core productivity features are now generally available, additional experiences that support .NET MAUI<\/a> and Unity<\/a> are still in preview, leveraging the C# Dev Kit. These extensions continue to benefit from feedback and improving your development workflows for MAUI and Unity in VS Code.<\/p>\n
