In-string highlighting for C# has bug in regex

[ozra]

At the company I'm working C# is the only option for coding.

In the VSCode extension description I see: "...syntax highlighting embedded in other languages, namely Markdown, Java, Python, Javascriopt, .NET and Go.". Granted .net != C#, but I expected it to be supported.
It works fine if I write a typescript file, so it is installed and working properly otherwise.

I've tried all variants I can think of but there is no highlighting of cypher queries anyway:

Example of variations:

Why don't add setting where we can set file extensions where this highlighting will be applied. I would like if php has support too.

The issue is a bug in the regex that matches string start and end, it uses Java-syntax instead of C#.

We'll look into this, sorry for the delay answering.

The syntax supported is the triple """: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/raw-string.

So this would work:

var a = """//cypher
    // This is a comment
    MATCH (n:Label) RETURN function(n.property)
""";

I will look into adding the @ syntax for strings as well.

Unless my understanding is wrong, you need a configuration for every language you want to enable this for in a VSCode plugin: https://github.com/neo4j/cypher-language-support/tree/main/packages/vscode-extension/syntaxes, so making this dynamic is not an option
