[Unchase OpenAPI (Swagger) Connected Service](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Unchase.unchaseOpenAPIConnectedService) is a Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022 extension to generate `C#` (`TypeScript`) `HttpClient` (or `C#` `Controllers`) code for `OpenAPI` (formerly [`Swagger API`](https://swagger.io/docs/specification/about/)) web service with [NSwag](https://github.com/RSuter/NSwag).

> Starting from Visual Studio Community 2019 v16.1.3 extensions based on `Microsoft Connected Services` now work fine.

> The project is developed and maintained by [Nikolay Chebotov (**Unchase**)](https://github.com/unchase).

## Troubleshooting

### Can't open .nswag file in NSwagStudio

- You can use **Open in NSwagStudio** menu command
- If generated code corrupted, try to open `.nswag` file in [`NSwagStudio`](https://github.com/RSuter/NSwag/wiki/NSwagStudio) (Windows GUI for editing .*nswag files)
- If it doesn't open, try to create new `.nswag` file in [`NSwagStudio`](https://github.com/RSuter/NSwag/wiki/NSwagStudio) for the same API service link and check the differences

### Installation completes but I can't see the Service in the list of connected services (Visual Studio 2019)

- Relevant [bug report](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/468751/vs2019-preview-cannot-install-connected-service-ex.html). `Connected Services` restored in the v16.1.3 update to [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/) 2019.
