VS is not built on top of dotNET.

VS Code was expected to run on anything, being nothing more than Javascript & HTML wrapped via Electron.

I known in 2010 the Visual Studio UI was rewritten in WPF/CSharp, I don't know which UI system they are using in 2019. It is documented in the wiki entry and a few blog posts MS made.
