Is C# supported in Visual Studio 2026? I see no mention of it in the VS 2026 release description. Does Microsoft still support C#?

Developer technologies | C#
Developer technologies | C#

An object-oriented and type-safe programming language that has its roots in the C family of languages and includes support for component-oriented programming.

    Hello @Fred Saxonberg ,

    Thanks for your question.

    C# is fully supported in Visual Studio 2026. The November 18.0.0 release ships with .NET 10 and C# 14 baked right in - IntelliSense, debugging, refactoring tools, all of it still there as expected.

    Microsoft isn't going anywhere with C#. C# 14 comes bundled with .NET 10 LTS, and VS 2026 is built around that combo.

    For more information, you can refer to Visual Studio 2026 release notes.

    I hope this addresses your question. If this response was helpful, please consider following the guidance to provide feedback.

    C# is supported in Visual Studio 2026.

    Visual Studio 2026 includes full support for modern .NET and C# development. The November 18.0.0 update specifically highlights that .NET 10 and C# 14 are “baked in,” meaning C# is a first-class, fully supported language in this release, with editor, IntelliSense, debugging, and tooling integration.

    So yes, Microsoft continues to support C# in Visual Studio 2026, including the latest C# 14 language version.

    the last C# / .net release was back in November. The next release (.net 11) is this coming November, so all the new C# / .net features are in the beta releases. The focus since the last November release has been azure and c/c++, which is why the current release notes don't mention C# (you need to go back to the November release notes).
