What are you using for highlighting within Azure DevOps?

What are you using for highlighting within Azure DevOps?

Should be https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dynamics-smb.allanghighlights

KeyWords in parameter Names should be ignored similiar to VS-Code:

I think that this is not solvable by the app as the same happens for keywords in C# (and perhaps other languages too?). Possibly a problem with the highlighting engine/editor.

Hello, this difference is due to the presence of semantic highlighting in the Visual Studio Code extension. To illustrate: image image

We strive to make the Azure DevOps extension have parity with VS Code extension syntax highlighting, Unfortunately Azure DevOps doesn't support semantic highlighting, this the gap you are experiencing. Hope this helped.

Thank you for reporting the issue, but as we cannot solve it so I am closing as not planned. Have a nice day!
