I think it is important to note that Visual Studio Community is not able to be used legally in all scenarios. If you use it only for creating open source content you are fine (right now), but in all other cases I would check the "Usage" section of this link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/
[History, maybe not relevant]
At one point Visual Studio Express was available and free in all use cases.
Now your free options are Visual Studio Community (for some use cases) and Visual Studio Code (as far as I know, doesn't have a 'designer' view to drag and drop controls onto a GUI. As far as I know only uses .net core, not .net framework)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This wiki page has a section on help.codesys.com
currently it links only to the section that details the available classes and functions. Scripting Engine
There is another section not yet mentioned in the wiki article. It is in another area of help.codesys.com that scripters might find useful, and that is: CODESYS Development System > Using Scripts
edit: clarified content. I guess it is a pull request to add the 'other' section of help.codesys.com
