omnisharp-vscode VS Roslyn

They announced a year ago they are working on better C# support in VSCode https://github.com/omnisharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/5276

OmniSharp (soporte de C# en VS Code): Licencia MIT

Let me try to find that post. It's basically the drama around this

> They did a wonderful job with C# and .NET Core.

And VSCode. One thing all three have in common is that they are all FREE to use--they don't make Microsoft any money directly.

And, for the segment of the developer tools market that wrangles C# code, if VSCode gets too good, it becomes a threat to a cash cow: Visual Studio.

Open source. OP is referencing a decision Microsoft made last year to include some closed-source components, in particular the debugger from Visual Studio, in the default C# extension for Visual Studio Code. There is a Samsung-provided open source debugger available if you absolutely require it, but the closed source stuff doesn't have any usage restrictions afaik.

My understanding is that the .NET team is working toward this with Interceptors: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/main/docs/features/int...

.NET is a little smarter about switch code generation these days: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/66081

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

At runtime, the Case C# expressions are embedded into a function and dynamically compiled into an assembly using the Roslyn C# compiler. Then the function that contains the expression is called (e.g. CaseAvailableFunction.Availablle()). At runtime, the function provides various methods to access stored case values as well as the current input data.
