$Classes cannot find record classes

C#9 introduces record as a immutable class, with a new terse syntax.

So instead of:

public class Person {
    public Person(string name) { this.Name = name; }
    public string Name { get; private set; }
}

We can now do:

public record Person(string Name);

This creates a special class that is read only and has built-in value equality.

Unfortunately $Classes cannot find any of these record classes, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to include them in template output.

Either:

• $Classes should find both class and record definitions, or…
• $Records should be a new base iterator that goes through record definitions.

Great to see someone making this effort. I’ve evaluated a bunch of other C#->TS generators, but none come close in terms of customizability, and it’s a shame that the project is effectively abandoned.

If you could modernize it in the ways mentioned by @s4m0r4m4 and perhaps remove the dependency on Visual Studio (a lot of folks just use VS Code nowadays) it would be even better, but as you state, getting a live repository up and running is a great step in the right direction.
