Hi JigneshDesai,

About visual studio extension development, you could also refer to this document: Starting to Develop Visual Studio Extensions.

And about monetizing VS extension, you could follow this blog: Paid extensions in the Visual Studio marketplace

Thanks MichalPlutynski, that was nice link.

I have another question for you... can we monetize a VS extension ?
as I see extensions publish on VS marketplace is for free, I do not find it similar to how apps are published & priced at UWP Windows marketplace. (MSFT AppStore)

can you throw any light on this?
