So for me it was kind of logical and full of sense step to move my C/Win32 API development from Visual Studio to Visual Studio Code, and having previously a slick transition experience in.

NET Core I’ve found myself doing almost all my coding in Visual Studio Code and to be honest I get used to its simplicity and blazing speed. However, in a last few years working with. Why I am telling this? Because it won’t be a surprise, all my C/C++ projects were always written in Visual Studio with all it’s goodies like IntelliSense, projects support and extensions like Visual Assist.

Starting from 0 (as the result of this PR) Visual Studio Code documentation has been updated to include information about how to run Visual Studio Code outside of Developers Command Prompt.However, if you are interested in a story of how this happened or you need to run and debug Visual Studio tests using right from Visual Studio Code then, I invite you to continue reading the post.
