Types not highlighted in variable and field declarations

[ivanz]

Copy from: atom/language-csharp#48

I'm using the VSCode Version 0.10.6 (0.10.6).
Default dark theme.

Here's a sample code:

class MyClass
{

}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {        
        //string is highlighted
        string s = "MyClass";

        //MyClass is not highlighted
        MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
    }
}

That's a duplicate of issue #674

[ivanz]

I thought 674 was about semantic highlighting where as I am thinking about simple regex rule that matches field and variable declarations and highlights the "type" bit - we already do this for properties and methods.

[johanneskopf]

You mean it's possible to highlight the first Vector3 in
"Vector3 x = new Vector3(0f, 0f, 0f);"
but it's difficult to hightlight Debug in
"Debug.Log("test");"
Is this correct?

[DustinCampbell]

Yes, that's right. Syntactically, there's no difference between "Debug" being a class or property, so we can't color it as a type. It's also impossible to highlight Vector3 differently if it's a class vs. a struct, which is something we do in VS.
