help Visual Studio IntelliCode FAQ
Which languages does Visual Studio IntelliCode support?
Microsoft lists C#, XAML, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Visual Basic for AI-assisted IntelliSense completions. JavaScript and TypeScript support requires TypeScript 3.4.2 or later according to the Visual Studio documentation.
Is Visual Studio IntelliCode the same as GitHub Copilot?
No, IntelliCode is Microsoft's context-aware IntelliSense feature in Visual Studio, while GitHub Copilot is a separate AI coding product. IntelliCode can be included with supported Visual Studio workloads, including .NET and C++ development.
Does IntelliCode suggest more than individual method names?
Yes, IntelliCode can provide context-aware completions such as parameter suggestions and larger code patterns. Its suggestions are integrated into the Visual Studio editing experience rather than requiring a separate chat window for every completion.
When was IntelliCode added to Visual Studio?
Microsoft says IntelliCode was included with Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 in supported workloads. The feature has since evolved, so current behavior depends on the installed Visual Studio version.
