Master	Release

Welcome to the C# extension for Visual Studio Code! This extension provides the following features inside VS Code:

• Lightweight development tools for .NET Core.
• Great C# editing support, including Syntax Highlighting, IntelliSense, Go to Definition, Find All References, etc.
• Debugging support for .NET Core (CoreCLR). NOTE: Mono debugging is not supported. Desktop CLR debugging has limited support.

The C# extension is powered by OmniSharp.
