About IntelliCode for C# Dev Kit
About IntelliCode
The Visual Studio IntelliCode family of extensions provides AI-assisted development features for C#, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Java developers in Visual Studio Code, with insights based on understanding your code context combined with machine learning.
This extension provides IntelliCode member ranking & whole-line autocomplete for C# Dev Kit users
This extension provides two features in C# files:
• Inline gray text completions • Ranking likely IntelliSense items and showing them with a ⭐
In order to use this extension, you must have the C# Dev Kit extension installed.
Predictions of up to a whole line of C# are shown as grey text.
Scenario 1: When grey-text is shown, simply press TAB to accept the prediction.
Scenario 2: When grey-text is shown along with the IntelliSense list, press TAB to accept the IntelliSense list selection, then TAB again to accept the rest of the multi-token prediction. In this scenario, you can use the IntelliSense list selection to steer the multi-token prediction offered by IntelliCode.
Additionally, if the model is suggesting that a string should exist, but does not have a suggestion for the string, hitting TAB will place the cursor into the empty string, making it easier for you to complete your line of code.
Ranks methods and properties in the IntelliSense list with stars
This extension provides AI-assisted IntelliSense by showing recommended completion items for your code context at the top of the completions list.
When it comes to overloads, rather than taking the time to cycle through the alphabetical list of member, IntelliCode presents the most relevant items first. This extension not only ranks known methods, but its deep learning model also ranks methods that are unique to your code.
To see AI-assisted ranking in the IntelliSense list, users must be in a C# file that is a part of a solution. C# files that aren’t a part of a solution won’t have this functionality available.
