Is it possible to write Visual Studio Code extensions in C#

Question

Is it possible to write Visual Studio Code extensions in C# and not in TypeScript? I need this because I want to call some .NET DLLs.

Answer 1

The short answer is no.

The long answer involves a combination of native node modules, pre building and packaging them within your extension and restricting your extension to Windows users only. More information in this issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/658.
