ADF Development using Visual Studio 2019 (.NET SDK)

Question

Hi Team,

We tried creating ADF using .NET SDK as explained in the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/quickstart-create-data-factory-dot-net. Although we were able to do this, we did notice several issues while executing and debugging. For instance, the error thrown by ADF was not correctly appearing in Visual Studio 2019. And even the ADF instance had failed, Visual Studio continued to process for more time as the expression pipelineRun.Status was returned as "InProgress" for some reason.
Our question is – are there any known issues/challenges using .NET SDK instead of ADF studio (portal) to build ADF processes? We are also not finding enough documentation around using .NET SDK to author and manage ADFs. Does Microsoft recommend to use .NET SDK instead of ADF studio?

Not sure on the issue you are reporting but you will see the .net SDK details in below, also check the index on left side:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/overview/azure/data-factory

Based on my experience, most of the users prefer to develop, monitor ADF using Portal UI directly
