Description

Validations
  • I believe this is a way to improve. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
  • I'm not able to find an open issue that requests the same enhancement
Problem

Continue not accessible to the Visual Studio C#/.NET community (GitHub Copilot is)

Solution

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/starting-to-develop-visual-studio-extensions?view=vs-2022

Seems to require a full rework, different stack than Visual Studio Code
