What problem does it solve?
CodeLens indicators display inline information above code elements (classes, methods, properties) in the editor — references, tests, git history, etc. This skill helps you implement custom CodeLens providers to surface contextual data directly in code and respond to clicks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Create an out-of-process CodeLens data point provider implementing IAsyncCodeLensDataPointProvider
- Develop the in-process VSIX package for navigation/commands and optionally an MEF IViewElementFactory for richer UI
- Register via CodeLens OOP/VSIX integration and provide details pane in CodeLens use cases
Quick Start
Start by implementing an IAsyncCodeLensDataPointProvider in a class library, then expose it via a VSIX CodeLens component and handle navigation in the in-process package.
