MVC scaffolding for VS Code, Visual Studio-style

`.NET Core MVC Scaffolding & Publishing` (`LeviBickel.net-core-mvc-scaffolding`) v0.0.19 brings Visual Studio's right-click scaffold wizard into VS Code — generating a full CRUD controller plus five Razor views from a `.cs` model file, and adding IIS Web Deploy publishing with a four-step profile wizard that stores credentials in VS Code's Secrets API. The article covers all three commands, a concrete scaffold walkthrough with file tree, the IIS publish credential-isolation model, and the security-patch-driven 19-version history (currently at zero vulnerabilities).

Angular Language Service v22: inlay hints that actually tell you what your template bindings mean

Angular Language Service (`Angular.ng-template`) v22.0.1 — the official Google/Angular Team VS Code extension — shipped June 11, 2026 with two headline features: 19 individually-configurable inlay hint settings that annotate template binding types inline, and Document Symbols support that makes `@if`/`@for` blocks and template references visible in VS Code's Outline panel.

HashiCorp Terraform for VS Code: two settings that cut provider-doc lookups

HashiCorp Terraform for VS Code (v2.39.3, 6.4M installs) ships two off-by-default settings worth enabling: `prefillRequiredFields` auto-inserts every required resource attribute as a tab-stop snippet, and `mcp.server.enable` wires GitHub Copilot to live Terraform Registry data via a containerized MCP server — eliminating training-data guesses on provider schemas.

CMake C/C++ workflow in VS Code without cpptools — Kylin CMake Workflow v0.3.1

Kylin CMake Workflow (KylinIdeTeam.kylin-cmake-tools v0.3.1) is a community fork of Microsoft's CMake Tools extension that strips every cpptools dependency — making CMake configure/build/debug work on VSCodium, Cursor, and any clangd-first setup. It auto-injects CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS at configure time so clangd always has a compile database, with no manual settings edits required.
