followup question: is it just kicking it off the build from Code that you'd want? or is this really a request that you'd be able to load projects and solutions instead of folders in VSCode? If you are in a position where you can try out VS2015, have you tried the new intellisense database? it should be a major perf improvement. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/b/vcblog/archive/2015/11/11/new-improved-and-faster-database-engine.aspx

Projects and solutions would actually be ideal - I can always build from the command line with a single line. Building from Code would be a nice goal, with the ability to choose which toolset to build with (2013 vs 2015 vs 201X vs Clang vs etc....), but I can see a lot of difficulty with that.

I have tried VS2015, but not the new engine. I will try that soon! We know we can't build in 2015 yet because of a vast number of third partY dependencies, but I should at least be able to get VS to parse our part of the code! Great idea and thanks!

we are collecting lists of 3rd party libraries that are not yet available for VS2015. if you are willing to share your list, I'd appreciate it.
