About Visual Studio

Code in the cloud

Move your workstation to the cloud with Microsoft Dev Box

Code from anywhere on any device with Microsoft Dev Box
Streamline setup with self-service, high-performance dev boxes that are preconfigured for your projects, and customize your dev box around your preferences and work styles
Work remotely on any device without putting yourself—or your organization—at risk

Scales to any project

Visual Studio 2022 is the best Visual Studio ever
Our first 64-bit IDE makes it easier to work with even bigger projects and more complex workloads
The stuff you do every day—like typing code and switching branches—feels more fluid more responsive
And out-of-memory errors? They’re about to be a distant memory

Inside the code editor

Type less, code more

IntelliCode is a powerful set of automatic code completion tools that understand your code context: variable names, functions, and the type of code you’re writing
This makes IntelliCode able to complete up to a whole line at once, helping you code more accurately and confidently

Deep insights into your code

CodeLens helps you easily find important insights, like what changes have been made, what those changes did, and whether you’ve run unit testing on your method
Essential information—like references, authors, tests, and commit history—is right there to guide you toward the best and most informed decisions about your work

Share more than screens

Live Share’s real-time collaboration sessions speed up your team’s edit and debugging cycles, no matter the language or platform
Personalized sessions with access controls and custom editor settings make sure everyone stays code-consistent

Getting you ready to ship

Stop problems before they’re problems

Integrated debugging is a core part of every Visual Studio product
You can step through your code and look at the values stored in variables, set watches on variables to see when values change, examine the execution path of your code, and just about anything else you need to check out under the hood

Analyze how much code you’re testing and see instant results in a test suite that’s been optimized for efficiency
Know the impact of every change you make with advanced features that test code as you type
With WSL integration, you can test on both Windows and Linux to make sure your app runs everywhere

Get the most from Visual Studio 2022

Visual Studio 2022 has built-in support for Git version control to clone, create, and open your own repositories
The Git tool window has everything you need for committing and pushing changes to code, managing branches, and resolving merge conflicts
If you have a GitHub account, you can manage those repos directly within Visual Studio
