Is it possible to use VS Code as an Dynamics 365 for Operations editor?

It means:

  • AOT objects editor
  • X++ code editor
  • xRefs using

Yes, I know about project 'VSCode for NAV':

What about AX7?

    I highly doubt it. Currently it is not even possible to set up your own develoment machine for AX7, you have to download a VM from Microsoft. There are several components aside from Visual Studio needed for development and I think it highly unlikely that they can be ported to VS Code without some heavy reengineering. – FH-Inway Aug 07 '17 at 10:06
  • In the Visual Studio Code extensions [website](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode) there is no sign of an X++ (or AX7) extension... – Il Vic Aug 07 '17 at 10:49

Specific Visual Studio tools are included when you deploy a D365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition developer box. This is the editor to use with the product.

Visual Studio 2015 is the exclusive integrated development environment (IDE) for development.
