My understanding is that in writing an extension for VSCode, the extension can be packaged as a VSIX file, which is what Visual Studio uses as the extension file.
Would the extension written for VSCode need to be entirely re-written for use on visual studio, or is there some way to provide some similar operation between both IDEs with less redundancy in a practically repeat codebase?
CodePudding user response：
As far as I know, VS Code extensions are javascript-based, while Visual Studio extensions are c#/.net based; I haven't heard of a way to write a single extension for both editors.
Having said that ...
is there some way to provide some similar operation between both IDEs with less redundancy in a practically repeat codebase?
