XenoUI for Visual Studio Code

XenoUI tooling for macOS, Linux and Windows:

  • XenoUI Preview — renders the [Preview] components and pages of the active C# file while you type, with the same isolated render server as the Visual Studio extension (XenoUI.PreviewServer).
  • Templates — create XenoUI apps, pages and components (XenoUI.Templates), from the command palette or the explorer context menu.
  • Devices — shows the Android devices detected by the XenoUI tooling in the status bar and launches the active XenoUI application on the selected device.

Commands:

  • XenoUI: Open Preview (Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+P), XenoUI: Refresh Preview
  • XenoUI: New Project…, XenoUI: New Page…, XenoUI: New Component…, XenoUI: Install Templates
  • XenoUI: Select Device, XenoUI: Refresh Devices, XenoUI: Run on Selected Device

Requires the .NET 10 SDK on PATH.

During framework development the extension uses the workspace checkout: the preview server is built from tools/visualstudio/XenoUI.PreviewServer, templates are installed from templates/XenoUI.Templates/content, and XenoUI.Tooling runs from source. Consumer installs use the server and templates shipped in the .vsix, and the xeno command on PATH.

Discovery recognizes Android projects using Xeno.SDK, with an explicit SDK version or a version in global.json, as well as legacy local imports.

  • npm test — discovery, preview server protocol (against a fake server) and template helpers.
  • npm run package [-- --target darwin-arm64 …] — one .vsix per platform in artifacts/vscode.
