A library implements functionality for a narrowly-scoped purpose whereas a framework tends to be a collection of libraries providing support for a wider range of features. For example, the library System.Drawing.dll handles drawing functionality, but is only one part of the overall .NET framework.

The C# language has historically been mostly framework neutral - i.e. able to compile older versions of the Framework - although some features have required new types or CLR support.

First thing, the more recent updates for Visual Studio Code do support building and debugging projects for the .NET Framework, but it is very limited. The GitHub page for OmniSharp (responsible for the C# extension) says that: The C# extension supports limited full .NET framework debugging. It can only debug 64-bit applications with portable PDBs.
