Looks like they do? https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/issues/675

In the vscode-dev-containers repo, you'll see that there too is a .devcontainer directory. This contains instructions for building the dotnet vscode-dev-container. Click into the directory.

I'm trying to set up a dev environment which utilises the standard Python 3 devcontainer for Python files (which is great IMO), but also utilises the R devcontainer for R files. Or at the very least sets up the basic R for VSCode environment espoused on the VSCode tutorials.

Select a predefined container definition. In my case I will select 'Ubuntu'. NOTE: There is a growing variety of predefined images that can be selected from, maintained on GitHubs vscode-dev-containers repository:

As documented here, a Dev Container's built-in features are sources from the script-library folder in the vscode-dev-containers repo. The Remote - Containers extension and GitHub Codespaces include "preview" functionality to extend Dev Container features. You can add any custom feature by using the dev-container-features-template sample repository.

In your case in the development container you can specify a specific version of .NET SDK and Azure Functions SDK. There is a premade devcontainer for VSCode with Azure Functions and C#: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/tree/main/containers/azure-functions-dotnet-6-isolated
