The single most-requested feature for JetBrains' VS Code extension shipped on Monday: set breakpoints, inspect variables and expressions live, step through code, and attach to running .NET processes without leaving the editor. It's built on the same engine that powers Rider, so this isn't a stripped-down port — it's the grown-up debugger, just hosted somewhere else. 2026.2 also adds value tracking, a live visualization of where a value comes from and where it flows, threading through constructors, properties, and async boundaries so you stop guessing. If you've been doing .NET work in VS Code, Cursor, or one of the newer AI editors and quietly tolerating the debugging gap, that gap just closed.
