Not able to view CsWin32 generated code in VS Code

[altamkp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have recently started using CsWin32 to generate Win32 APIs for my projects. The generated code can be opened in Visual Studio like below with "Go To Definition" .

But when trying to open in VS Code the following error is shown.

Please see the issue I have filed in CsWin32, together with an MRE I have created.

Describe the solution you would like

It would be great if the generated code can be viewed in VS Code.

Applicable Scenarios

View generated code from source generators.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using Visual Studio instead, but I pretty much prefer using VS Code.

This is a known limitation we're currently working on fixing; we'll close #6426 once this support is implemented.
