Microsoft has introduced a powerful suite of GitHub Copilot enhancements for .NET developers, now rolling out in Visual Studio 17.14 and the C# Dev Kit for VS Code. These updates—ranging from improved context awareness and on‑the‑fly documentation to seamless Microsoft Learn integration—are designed to streamline workflows and boost productivity.

Here’s what’s new and how it can help you code smarter, not harder:

Agent Mode, MCP & More: Let Copilot act as your AI pair programmer—fix errors using natural language, connect to relevant data, and intelligently decide whether to insert, delete, or edit code.
Microsoft Learn Integration: Now in VS 17.14! Ask Copilot about a topic and get up-to-date answers straight from Microsoft Learn docs—right in your IDE.
Implement with Copilot: Use Implement Method or Implement Interface, then select Implement with Copilot to instantly generate method bodies.
On-the-Fly Code Insights: Hover over variables, methods, or classes and use Describe with Copilot to get quick tooltips that explain your code.
Auto-Generate Doc Comments: Start a comment block on your method or class and let Copilot fill in the full documentation—summaries, parameter details, and more!
