Visual Studio IntelliCode

Visual Studio IntelliCode is a set of AI-based capabilities designed to simplify development. Now the function has left the preview mode and brings support for C # and XAML. The default disabled support for C ++ and TypeScript / JavaScript can be enabled manually, but is still in preview mode.

In the latest blog entry for IntelliCode , Microsoft also introduces several other preview features, including Repeated Edit Detection. The IntelliCode feature is designed to automatically detect repeated changes and offer suggestions in the code.

Other features include an experimental IntelliSense autocomplete for non-imported types in C #. Also in the latest preview some bug fixes for VS 2019 16.1 are included again. Among other things, the bug has been resolved that IntelliSense could not be used in projects that were created under WSL.
