Chapter 11: Overviewing Visual Studio 2019 Extensions
While Visual Studio 2019 is an amazing integrated development environment (IDE), sometimes we find ourselves wanting to do things with it that it just doesn't support. Maybe we want to edit Markdown files, connect to other database backends, or perform myriad other tasks. Whatever the task is, if it's not a built-in Visual Studio function, extensions are probably the answer.
In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:
- What are extensions?
- Visual Studio Marketplace
- Creating extensions
- Roslyn analyzers
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to find and create your own extensions for Visual Studio.
