r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Howto: Claude Code and Visual Studio 2022?
June 5, 2025 -

Hello guys!

  1. How can I use Claude Code with Visual Studio 2022? It is C# .net code. If needed I could change the IDE, also if really needed, it is in GIT VC, though I would prefer local changes.

  2. I only saw command prompts for Claude Code so far. In the web chat I typically paste files or code excerpts - I hope most of that would be not necesarry with Claude Code, though every so often I would have to paste e. g. a database tabel or a paragraph of instructions. Does that also work?

  3. I read it now also works on the pro plan?

Many many thanks!

Best

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: How do you use claude in visual studio community 2022?
November 8, 2025 -

I'm recently working on a big project .NET 8.0 windows App in visual studio community. Since I didn't find a way to use claude inside the IDE . I'm generating code from claude web and pasting back in my solution explorer files. Now that my project got bigger +120 files and + 8k lines of code I can't upload it to claude web to continue in a new conversation. Any solution? I'm stuck and if I want to make bigger changes to the logic not the ui I can't do it easily and it would take several hours due to 5h waiting . Once I upload half my project from github it already makes the conversation limit reaching quickly. Im now trying to optimize my code especially in the ui ( creating custom templates.xaml as reusable widgets ) so i can minimize code lines . Anyone who have a solution or an idea on how to use the maximum of claude for vs community 22 . I appreciate it

November 24, 2024 - I actually have a MacBook pro M2 with 64gb of ram. I didn't know you could run llama locally for use in VS code. What is the quality of the response compared to claude ? Is it possible to do some training of some sort and the whole code base of the project for better knowledge about the codebase as a whole ?
