Technical requirements

To use IntelliCode, Visual Studio 2022 with the web development workload must be installed. Because this chapter focuses more on showing auto-completion and class display features, no changes have been made to the code repositories. You can use the repository hosted at the following URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Visual-Studio-2022/tree/main/Chapter07.

Also, to be able to perform the procedure of the Code maps section, it is required to use the Enterprise version of Visual Studio.

Likewise, the Code Map and Live Dependency Validation tools must be installed by the Visual Studio Installer, selecting them as shown in Figure 7.1:
