Hey @Edison_George

I think you got an answer here:

SonarLint hotspots not showing with Visual Studio Code IDE in connected mode and project bound

Thanks @Edison_George, Please note that this is an old thread, a good practice is to open a new thread and not resurrect old ones. Moreover, this thread is about VSCode and not VS 2022, so definitely a separate thread would be better. That said, I checked in the documentation, and C# Security Hotspots are not supported in VS. Hope this helped

If security hotspots are not support in Visual Studio, why do you have them in the menu?

[Colin]

They are possible to detect for other languages supported by SonarLint for Visual Studio (C, C++, and JS/TS languages)

I think this is confusing and I would encourage you to support Security Hotspots in a consistent way for all IDEs and languages. In advance thanks.
