Why, when we are halfway through 2019 is the supported version 2015? Is there going to be an update to this to allow us to use a more current version of Visual Studio or something more lightweight like VSCode?

Hi @davidbeere ,

Thanks for you question. Yes, Desktop Connection is currently being updated and a release to support 2019 is planned for this quarter. The product team is also researching additional editors and IDEs, so we have let them know about your interest in support for VS Code.

Best, Denise
