Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native codeand managed code.
Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that enhance the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for source- control systems (like Subversion) and adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle (like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).
Visual Studio supports different programming languages and allows the code editor and debugger to support (to varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C,[5] C++ and C++/CLI (via Visual C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET), C# (via Visual C#), and F# (as of Visual Studio 2010[6]). Support for other languages such as M, Python, and Rubyamong others is available via language services installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. Java (and J#) were supported in the past.
Microsoft provides "Community" editions of its Visual Studio at no cost. Commercial versions of Visual Studio along with select past versions are available for free to students via Microsoft's DreamSpark program.[7]
Microsoft provides a preview of Visual Studio Code for free with a proprietary license.[8] It is a source code and text editor, along with other features, for Linux, OS X, and Windows.[9]

Architecture[edit]
Visual Studio does not support any programming language, solution or tool intrinsically; instead, it allows the plugging of functionality coded as a VSPackage. When installed, the functionality is available as a Service. The IDE provides three services: SVsSolution, which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions; SVsUIShell, which provides windowing and UI functionality (including tabs, toolbars and tool windows); and SVsShell, which deals with registration of VSPackages. In addition, the IDE is also responsible for coordinating and enabling communication between services.[10] All editors, designers, project types and other tools are implemented as VSPackages. Visual Studio uses COM to access the VSPackages. The Visual Studio SDK also includes the Managed Package Framework (MPF), which is a set of managed wrappers around the COM-interfaces that allow the Packages to be written in any CLI compliant language.[11] However, MPF does not provide all the functionality exposed by the Visual Studio COM interfaces.[12] The services can then be consumed for creation of other packages, which add functionality to the Visual Studio IDE.
Support for programming languages is added by using a specific VSPackage called a Language Service. A language service defines various interfaces which the VSPackage implementation can implement to add support for various functionalities.[13] Functionalities that can be added this way include syntax coloring, statement completion, brace matching, parameter information tooltips, member lists and error markers for background compilation.[13] If the interface is implemented, the functionality will be available for the language. Language services are to be implemented on a per- language basis. The implementations can reuse code from the parser or the compiler for the language.[13] Language services can be implemented either in native code or managed code. For native code, either the native COM interfaces or the Babel Framework (part of Visual Studio SDK) can be used.[14] For managed code, the MPF includes wrappers for writing managed language services.[15]
Visual Studio does not include any source control support built in but it defines two alternative ways for source control systems to integrate with the IDE.[16] A Source Control VSPackage can provide its own customised user interface. In contrast, a source control plugin using the MSSCCI (Microsoft Source Code Control Interface) provides a set of functions that are used to implement various source control functionality, with a standard Visual Studio user interface.[17][18] MSSCCI was first used to integrate Visual SourceSafewith Visual Studio 6.0 but was later opened up via the Visual Studio SDK. Visual Studio .NET 2002 used MSSCCI 1.1, and Visual Studio .NET 2003 used MSSCCI 1.2. Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010 use MSSCCI Version 1.3, which adds support for rename and delete propagation as well as asynchronous opening.[18]
Visual Studio supports running multiple instances of the environment (each with its own set of VSPackages). The instances use different registry hives (see MSDN's definition of the term "registry hive" in the sense used here) to store their configuration state and are differentiated by their AppId (Application ID). The instances are launched by an AppId-specific .exe that selects the AppId, sets the root hive and launches the IDE. VSPackages registered for one AppId are integrated with other VSPackages for that AppId. The various product editions of Visual Studio are created using the different AppIds. The Visual Studio Express edition products are installed with their own AppIds, but the Standard, Professional and Team Suite products share the same AppId. Consequently, one can install the Express editions side-by-side with other editions, unlike the other editions which update the same installation. The professional edition includes a superset of the VSPackages in the standard edition and the team suite includes a superset of the VSPackages in both other editions. The AppId system is leveraged by the Visual Studio Shell in Visual Studio 2008.[19]
Features[edit]
Code editor[edit]
Like any other IDE, it includes a code editor that supports syntax highlighting and code completion using IntelliSense for variables, functions, methods, loops and LINQ queries.[20] IntelliSen se is supported for the included languages, as well as for XML and forCascading Style Sheets and JavaScript when developing web sites and web applications.[21][22] Autocomplete suggestions appear in a modeless list box over the code editor window, in proximity of the editing cursor. In Visual Studio 2008 onwards, it can be made temporarily semi-transparent to see the code obstructed by it.[20] The code editor is used for all supported languages.
The Visual Studio code editor also supports setting bookmarks in code for quick navigation. Other navigational aids include collapsing code blocks and incremental search, in addition to normal text search and regex search.[23] The code editor also includes a multi-item clipboard and a task list. [23] The code editor supports code snippets, which are saved templates for repetitive code and can be inserted into code and customized for the project being worked on. A management tool for code snippets is built in as well. These tools are surfaced as floating windows which can be set to automatically hide when unused or docked to the side of the screen. The Visual Studio code editor also supports code refactoring including parameter reordering, variable and method renaming, interfaceextraction and encapsulation of class members inside properties, among others.
Visual Studio features background compilation (also called incremental compilation).[24][25] As code is being written, Visual Studio compiles it in the background in order to provide feedback about syntax and compilation errors, which are flagged with a red wavy underline. Warnings are marked with a green underline. Background compilation does not generate executable code, since it requires a different compiler than the one used to generate executable code.[26] Background compilation was initially introduced withMicrosoft Visual Basic but has now been expanded for all included languages. [25]
Debugger[edit] Main article: Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger
Visual Studio includes a debugger that works both as a source-level debugger and as a machine- level debugger. It works with both managed code as well as native code and can be used for debugging applications written in any language supported by Visual Studio. In addition, it can also attach to running processes and monitor and debug those processes.[27] If source code for the running process is available, it displays the code as it is being run. If source code is not available, it can show the disassembly. The Visual Studio debugger can also create memory dumps as well as load them later for debugging.[28] Multi-threaded programs are also supported. The debugger can be configured to be launched when an application running outside the Visual Studio environment crashes.
The debugger allows setting breakpoints (which allow execution to be stopped temporarily at a certain position) and watches (which monitor the values of variables as the execution progresses). [29] Breakpoints can be conditional, meaning they get triggered when the condition is met. Code can be stepped over, i.e., run one line (of source code) at a time.[30] It can either step into functions to debug inside it, or step over it, i.e., the execution of the function body isn't available for manual inspection.[30] The debugger supports Edit and Continue, i.e., it allows code to be edited as it is being debugged. When debugging, if the mouse pointer hovers over any variable, its current value is displayed in a tooltip ("data tooltips"), where it can also be modified if desired. During coding, the Visual Studio debugger lets certain functions be invoked manually from the Immediate tool window. The parameters to the method are supplied at the Immediate window.[31]
Designer[edit]
Visual Studio includes a host of visual designers to aid in the development of applications. These tools include:
Windows Forms Designer The Windows Forms designer is used to build GUI applications using Windows Forms. Layout can be controlled by housing the controls inside other containers or locking them to the side of the form. Controls that display data (like textbox, list box, grid view, etc.) can be bound to data sources like databases or queries. Data-bound controls can be created by dragging items from the Data Sources window onto a design surface.[32] The UI is linked with code using an event-driven programming model. The designer generates either C# or VB.NET code for the application. WPF Designer The WPF designer, codenamed Cider,[33] was introduced with Visual Studio 2008. Like the Windows Forms designer it supports the drag and drop metaphor. It is used to author user interfaces targeting Windows Presentation Foundation. It supports all WPF functionality including data binding and automatic layout management. It generates XAML code for the UI. The generated XAML file is compatible with Microsoft Expression Design, the designer- oriented product. The XAML code is linked with code using a code-behind model. Web designer/development Visual Studio also includes a web-site editor and designer that allows web pages to be authored by dragging and dropping widgets. It is used for developing ASP.NET applications and supports HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It uses a code-behind model to link with ASP.NET code. From Visual Studio 2008 onwards, the layout engine used by the web designer is shared with Microsoft Expression Web. There is also ASP.NET MVC support for MVC technology as a separate download[34] and ASP.NET Dynamic Data project available from Microsoft.[35] Class designer The Class Designer is used to author and edit the classes (including its members and their access) using UML modeling. The Class Designer can generate C# and VB.NET code outlines for the classes and methods. It can also generate class diagrams from hand-written classes. Data designer The data designer can be used to graphically edit database schemas, including typed tables, primary and foreign keys and constraints. It can also be used to design queries from the graphical view. Mapping designer From Visual Studio 2008 onwards, the mapping designer is used by LINQ to SQL to design the mapping between database schemas and the classes that encapsulate the data. The new solution from ORM approach, ADO.NET Entity Framework, replaces and improves the old technology.
Other tools[edit]
Open Tabs Browser The open tabs browser is used to list all open tabs and to switch between them. It is invoked using CTRL+TAB . Properties Editor The Properties Editor tool is used to edit properties in a GUI pane inside Visual Studio. It lists all available properties (both read-only and those which can be set) for all objects including classes, forms, web pages and other items. Object Browser The Object Browser is a namespace and class library browser for Microsoft .NET. It can be used to browse the namespaces (which are arranged hierarchically) in managed assemblies. The hierarchy may or may not reflect the organization in the file system. Solution Explorer In Visual Studio parlance, a solution is a set of code files and other resources that are used to build an application. The files in a solution are arranged hierarchically, which might or might not reflect the organization in the file system. The Solution Explorer is used to manage and browse the files in a solution. Team Explorer Team Explorer is used to integrate the capabilities of Team Foundation Server, the Revision Control System into the IDE (and the basis for Microsoft's CodePlex hosting environment for open source projects). In addition to source control it provides the ability to view and manage individual work items (including bugs, tasks and other documents) and to browse TFS statistics. It is included as part of a TFS install and is also available as a download for Visual Studio separately.[36][37] Team Explorer is also available as a stand-alone environment solely to access TFS services. Data Explorer Data Explorer is used to manage databases on Microsoft SQL Server instances. It allows creation and alteration of database tables (either by issuing T-SQL commands or by using the Data designer). It can also be used to create queries and stored procedures, with the latter in either T-SQL or in managed code via SQL CLR. Debugging and IntelliSense support is available as well. Server Explorer The Server Explorer tool is used to manage database connections on an accessible computer. It is also used to browse running Windows Services, performance counters, Windows Event Log and message queues and use them as a datasource.[38] Dotfuscator Software Services Community Edition Visual Studio includes a free 'light' version of PreEmptive Solutions' Dotfuscator product for code obfuscation and application-size reduction.[39] Starting with Visual Studio 2010, this version of Dotfuscator will include Runtime Intelligence capabilities that allow authors to gather end-user usage, performance, and stability information from their applications running in production.[40] Text Generation Framework Visual Studio includes a full text generation framework called T4 which enables Visual Studio to generate text files from templates either in the IDE or via code. ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool The ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool allows for the configuration of ASP.NET websites. Visual Studio Tools for Office Visual Studio Tools for Office is a SDK and an add-in for Visual Studio that includes tools for developing for the Microsoft Office suite. Previously (for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005) it was a separate SKU that supported only Visual C# and Visual Basic languages or was included in the Team Suite. With Visual Studio 2008, it is no longer a separate SKU but is included with Professional and higher editions. A separate runtime is required when deploying VSTO solutions.
Extensibility[edit]
See also: List of Microsoft Visual Studio Add- ins and Visual Studio Extensibility
Visual Studio allows developers to write extensions for Visual Studio to extend its capabilities. These extensions "plug into" Visual Studio and extend its functionality. Extensions come in the form of macros, add-ins, and packages. Macros represent repeatable tasks and actions that developers can record programmatically for saving, replaying, and distributing. Macros, however, cannot implement new commands or create tool windows. They are written using Visual Basic and are not compiled.[12] Add-Ins provide access to the Visual Studio object model and can interact with the IDE tools. Add-Ins can be used to implement new functionality and can add new tool windows. Add-Ins are plugged into the IDE via COM and can be created in any COM-compliant languages.[12] Packages are created using the Visual Studio SDK and provide the highest level of extensibility. They can create designers and other tools, as well as integrate other programming languages. The Visual Studio SDK provides unmanaged APIs as well as a managed API to accomplish these tasks. However, the managed API isn't as comprehensive as the unmanaged one.[12] Extensions are supported in the Standard (and higher) versions of Visual Studio 2005. Express Editions do not support hosting extensions.
Visual Studio 2008 introduced the Visual Studio Shell that allows for development of a customized version of the IDE. The Visual Studio Shell defines a set of VSPackages that provide the functionality required in any IDE. On top of that, other packages can be added to customize the installation. The Isolated mode of the shell creates a new AppId where the packages are installed. These are to be started with a different executable. It is aimed for development of custom development environments, either for a specific language or a specific scenario. The Integrated mode installs the packages into the AppId of the Professional/Standard/Team System editions, so that the tools integrate into these editions.[19] The Visual Studio Shell is available as a free download.
After the release of Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft created the Visual Studio Gallery. It serves as the central location for posting information about extensions to Visual Studio. Community developers as well as commercial developers can upload information about their extensions to Visual Studio .NET 2002 through Visual Studio 2010. Users of the site can rate and review the extensions to help assess the quality of extensions being posted. RSS feeds to notify users on updates to the site and tagging features are also planned.[41]
Supported products[edit] Microsoft Visual C++ Microsoft Visual C++ is Microsoft's implementation of the C and C++ compiler and associated languages-services and specific tools for integration with the Visual Studio IDE. It can compile either in C mode or C++ mode. For C, it follows the ISO C standard with parts of C99 specification along with MS-specific additions in the form of libraries.[42] For C++, it follows the ANSI C++ specification along with a few C++11 features.[43] It also supports the C++/CLI specification to write managed code, as well as mixed-mode code (a mix of native and managed code). Microsoft positions Visual C++ for development in native code or in code that contains both native as well as managed components. Visual C++ supports COM as well as the MFC library. For MFC development, it provides a set of wizards for creating and customizing MFC boilerplate code, and creating GUI applications using MFC. Visual C++ can also use the Visual Studio forms designer to design UI graphically. Visual C++ can also be used with the Windows API. It also supports the use of intrinsic functions,[44] which are functions recognized by the compiler itself and not implemented as a library. Intrinsic functions are used to expose the SSE instruction set of modern CPUs. Visual C++ also includes the OpenMP (version 2.0) specification.[45] Microsoft Visual C# Microsoft Visual C#, Microsoft's implementation of the C# language, targets the .NET Framework, along with the language services that lets the Visual Studio IDE support C# projects. While the language services are a part of Visual Studio, the compiler is available separately as a part of the .NET Framework. The Visual C# 2008, 2010 and 2012 compilers support versions 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 of the C# language specifications, respectively. Visual C# supports the Visual Studio Class designer, Forms designer, and Data designer among others.[46] Microsoft Visual Basic Microsoft Visual Basic is Microsoft's implementation of the VB.NET language and associated tools and language services. It was introduced with Visual Studio .NET (2002). Microsoft has positioned Visual Basic for Rapid Application Development.[47][48] Visual Basic can be used to author both console applications as well as GUI applications. Like Visual C#, Visual Basic also supports the Visual Studio Class designer, Forms designer, and Data designer among others. Like C#, the VB.NET compiler is also available as a part of .NET Framework, but the language services that let VB.NET projects be developed with Visual Studio, are available as a part of the latter. Microsoft Visual Web Developer Microsoft Visual Web Developer is used to create web sites, web applications and web services using ASP.NET. Either C# or VB.NET languages can be used. Visual Web Developer can use the Visual Studio Web Designer to graphically design web page layouts. Team Foundation Server Included only with Visual Studio Team System, Team Foundation Server is intended for collaborative software development projects and acts as the server-side backend providing source control, data collection, reporting, and project-tracking functionality. It also includes the Team Explorer, the client tool for TFS services, which is integrated inside Visual Studio Team System.
Previou s product s[edit]
Visual FoxPro Visual FoxPro is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming language produced by Microsoft. It derives from FoxPro (originally known as FoxBASE) which was developed by Fox Software beginning in 1984. Visual FoxPro is tightly integrated with its own relational database engine, which extends FoxPro's xBase capabilities to support SQL queries and data manipulation. Visual FoxPro is a full-featured,[49] dynamic programming language that does not require the use of an additional general-purpose programming environment. Microsoft announced in 2007 that Visual FoxPro has been discontinued after version 9 Service Pack 2, but will remain supported until 2015.[50] Visu al Sour ceSa fe Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is a source control software package oriented towards small software-development projects. The SourceSafe database is a multi-user, multi-process file- system database, using the Windows file system database primitives to provide locking and sharing support. All versions are multi-user, using SMB (file server) networking.[51][52] [53] However, with Visual SourceSafe 2005, other client–server modes were added, Lan Booster and VSS Internet (which used HTTP/HTTPS). Visual SourceSafe 6.0 was available as a stand-alone product[54] and was included with Visual Studio 6.0, and other products such as Office Developer Edition. Visual SourceSafe 2005 was available as a stand-alone product and included with the 2005 Team Suite. Team Foundation Server has superseded VSS as Microsoft's recommended platform for source control. M i c r o s o ft V i s u a l J + + / M i c r o s o ft V i s u a l J # Microsoft Visual J++ was Microsoft's implementation of the Java language (with Microsoft- specific extensions) and associated language services. It was discontinued as a result of litigation from Sun Microsystems, and the technology was recycled into Visual J#, Microsoft's Java compiler for .NET Framework. J# was available with Visual Studio 2005 (supported until 2015) but was discontinued in Visual Studio 2008. Vi su al Int er De v Visual InterDev was used to create web applications using Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) technologies. It supports code completion and includes database server management tools. It has been replaced with Microsoft Visual Web Developer. Edi tion s[edi t]

Visua l Studi o 97[edi t]
Micros oft first releas ed Visual Studio (coden amed Bosto n,[63] for the city of the same name, thus beginn ing the VS coden ames related to places )[63] in 1997, bundli ng many of its progra mming tools togeth er for the first time. Visual Studio 97 came in two edition s: Visual Studio Profes sional and Visual Studio Enterp rise, the profes sional edition has three CDs, and the enterpr ise on four CDs. It include d Visual J++ 1.1 for Java progra mming and introdu ced Visual InterD ev for creatin g dynam ically genera ted web sites using Active Server Pages. [citation needed] Th ere was a single compa nion CD that contai ned the Mi crosoft Develo per Networ k library.
Visual Studio 97 was Micros oft's first attemp t at using the same develo pment enviro nment for multipl e langua ges. Visual J++, InterD ev, and the MS DN Library had all been using the same 'enviro nment' , called Develo per Studio. [64]
Visual Studio was also sold as a bundle with the separa te IDEs used for Visual C++, Visual Basic and Visual FoxPr o.[19]
Visua l Studi o 6.0 (1998 )[edit]
The next versio n, versio n 6.0 (coden amed Aspen, after the ski resort i n Colora do), [citation needed] w as releas ed in June 1998 and is the last versio n to run on the Wi ndows 9x plat form.[65] Each versio n of each langua ge in part also settled to v6.0, includi ng Visual J++ which was prior v1.1, and Visual InterD ev at the 1st releas e. The v6 edition of Micros oft was the core enviro nment for the next four releas es to provid e progra mmers with an integra ted look- alike platfor m. This led Micros oft to transiti on the develo pment on the platfor m indepe ndent . NET Frame work.

It is possibl e to run CIL progra ms in Linu x or M ac OS X usin g non- Micros oft .NET imple mentat ions like Mo no and DotGN U.
This was the first versio n of Visual Studio to require an NT- based Windo ws platfor m.[69] T he installe r enforc es this require ment.
Visual Studio .NET 2002 shippe d in four edition s: Acade mic, Profes sional, Enterp rise Develo per, and Enterp rise Archite ct. Micros oft introdu ced C# (C- sharp), a new progra mming langua ge, that targets .NET. It also introdu ced the succes sor to Visual J++ called Visual J#. Visual J# progra ms use Java's langua ge- syntax. Howev er, unlike Visual J++ progra ms, Visual J# progra ms can only target the .NET Frame work, not the Ja va Virtual Machi ne that all other Java tools target.
Visual Basic chang ed drastic ally to fit the new frame work, and the new versio n was called Visual Basic . NET. Micros oft also added extensi ons to C++, called Manag ed Extens ions for C+ +, so .NET progra ms could be create d in C++.
Visual Studio .NET can produc e applica tions targeti ng Windo ws (using the Windo ws Forms part of the .NET Frame work), the Web (using ASP.N ET and W eb Servic es) and, with an add-in, portabl e device s (using the .NET Comp act Frame work).
The Visual Studio .NET enviro nment was rewritt en to partiall y use .NET. All langua ges are versio ns of Visual Studio, it has a cleane r interfa ce and greater cohesi veness .[citation needed] It is also more custo mizabl e with tool windo ws that autom atically hide when not in use. While Visual FoxPr o 7 started out as part of Visual Studio .NET 2002, and early VS betas allowe d debug ging inside VFP- based DLLs, it was remov ed before releas e to follow its own develo pment track. [citation needed]
The interna l versio n numbe r of Visual Studio .NET 2002 is versio n 7.0. Micros oft releas ed Servic e Pack 1 for Visual Studio .NET 2002 in March 2005. [70] Visua l Studi o .NET 2003[ edit]
In April 2003, Micros oft introdu ced a minor upgrad e to Visual Studio .NET called Visual Studio .NET 2003, coden amed Everet t (for the city of the same name). It include s an upgrad e to the .NET Frame work, versio n 1.1, and is the first releas e to suppor t develo ping progra ms for mobile device s, using ASP.N ET or the .NET Comp act Frame work. The Visual C++ compil er's standa rds- compli ance improv ed, especi ally in the area of parti al templa te special ization. Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is a versio n of the same C++ compil er shippe d with Visual Studio .NET 2003 without the IDE that Micros oft made freely availab le. As of 2010 it is no longer availab le and the Expres s Edition s have supers eded it. The interna l versio n numbe r of Visual Studio .NET 2003 is versio n 7.1 while the file format versio n is 8.0.[71]
Visual Studio .NET 2003 shippe d in four edition s: Acade mic, Profes sional, Enterp rise Develo per, and Enterp rise Archite ct. The Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterp rise Archite ct edition include s an imple mentat ion of Micr osoft Visio 2 002's modeli ng techno logies, includi ng tools for creatin g Unifi ed Modeli ng Langu age- based visual repres entatio ns of an applica tion's archite cture, and an obj ect- role modeli ng (O RM) and logical databa se- modeli ng solutio n. "Enter prise Templ ates" were also introdu ced, to help larger develo pment teams standa rdize coding styles and enforc e policie s around compo nent usage and propert y setting s.
Servic e Pack 1 was releas ed 13 Septe mber 2006. [72]
Visua l Studi o 2005[ edit]
Visual Studio 2005, coden amed Whidb ey (a referen ce to Whi dbey Island i n Puge t Sound ), was releas ed online in Octob er 2005 and to retail stores a few weeks later. Micros oft remov ed the ".NET" monik er from Visual Studio 2005 (as well as every other produc t with .NET in its name), but it still primari ly targets the .NET Frame work, which was upgrad ed to versio n 2.0. It is the last versio n availab le for Win dows 2000 a nd also the last versio n to be able to target Windo ws 98, Wi ndows Me an d Wind ows NT 4.0 for C++ applica tions.[73] [74]
Visual Studio 2005's interna l versio n numbe r is 8.0 while the file format versio n is 9.0.[71] Micros oft releas ed Servic e Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 on 14 Decem ber 2006. [75] An additio nal update for Servic e Pack 1 that offers Windo ws Vista compa tibility was made availab le on 3 June 2007. [76]
Visual Studio 2005 was upgrad ed to suppor t all the new feature s introdu ced in .NET Frame work 2.0, includi ng generi cs and ASP.N ET 2.0. The Int elliSen se feat ure in Visual Studio was upgrad ed for generi cs and new project types were added to suppor t ASP.N ET web service s. Visual Studio 2005 also include s a local web server, separa te from II S, that can host ASP.N ET applica tions during develo pment and testing . It also suppor ts all SQ L Server 2005 databa ses. Datab ase design ers were upgrad ed to suppor t the AD O.NET 2.0, which is include d with .NET Frame work 2.0. C++ also got a similar upgrad e with the additio n of C+ +/CLI which is slated to replac e the use of Man aged C++.[77] Other new feature s of Visual Studio 2005 include the "Deplo yment Design er" which allows applica tion design s to be validat ed before deploy ments, an improv ed enviro nment for web publish ing when combi ned with ASP.N ET 2.0 and load testing to see applica tion perfor mance under variou s sorts of user loads. Startin g with the 2005 edition , Visual Studio also added extensi ve 64- bit suppor t. While the host develo pment enviro nment itself is only availab le as a 32-bit applica tion, Visual C++ 2005 suppor ts compili ng for x86 -64 (A MD64 and Intel 64) as well as IA- 64 (Ita nium). [78] The Platfor m SDK in cluded 64-bit compil ers and 64-bit versio ns of the librarie s.
Micros oft also annou nced V isual Studio Tools for Applic ations as the succes sor to Visu al Basic for Applic ations (VBA) and VSA (Visual Studio for Applic ations) . VSTA 1.0 was releas ed to manuf acturin g along with Of fice 2007. It is include d with Office 2007 and is also part of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK. VSTA consist s of a custo mized IDE, based on the Visual Studio 2005 IDE, and a runtim e that can be embed ded in applica tions to expos e its feature s via the .NET object model. Office 2007 applica tions contin ue to integra te with VBA, except for InfoPat h 2007 which integra tes with VSTA. Versio n 2.0 of VSTA (based on Visual Studio 2008) was releas ed in April 2008. [79] It is signific antly differe nt from the first versio n, includi ng feature s such as dynam ic progra mming and suppor t for WP F,WCF , WF, LINQ, and .NET 3.5 Frame work.
Visua l Studi o 2008[ edit]
Visual Studio 2008, [80] and Visual Studio Team Syste m 2008[81] [82] cod ename d Orca s (a referen ce to Orc as Island, also an island in Pug et Sound, like Whidb ey for the previo us 2005 releas e), were releas ed to MSDN subscri bers on 19 Novem ber 2007 alongsi de .NET Frame work 3.5. The source code for the Visual Studio 2008 IDE is availab le under a shar ed source license to some of Micr osoft's partner s and IS Vs.[83] Micros oft releas ed Servic e Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2008 on 11 August 2008. [84] The interna l versio n numbe r of Visual Studio 2008 is versio n 9.0 while the file format versio n is 10.0. Visual Studio 2008 is the last versio n to suppor t targeti ng Win dows 2000 f or C++ applica tions.[85]
Visual Studio 2008 is focuse d on develo pment of Win dows Vista, 2007 Office system , and Web applica tions. For visual design , a new W indows Presen tation Found ation vi sual design er and a new H TML/C SS edi tor influen ced by Mic rosoft Expres sion Web a re include d. J# is not include d. Visual Studio 2008 require s .NET 3.5 Frame work and by default config ures compil ed assem blies to run on .NET Frame work 3.5, but it also suppor ts multi- targeti ng which lets the develo pers choos e which versio n of the .NET Frame work (out of 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, Sil verligh t CoreC LR or . NET Comp act Frame work) the assem bly runs on. Visual Studio 2008 also include s new co de analysi s tools, includi ng the new C ode Metric s tool (only in Team Edition and Team Suite Edition ).[86] For Visual C++, Visual Studio adds a new versio n of Micr osoft Found ation Classe s (MF C 9.0) that adds suppor t for the visual styles and UI control s introdu ced with W indows Vista. [87] For native and manag ed code interop erabilit y, Visual C++ introdu ces the STL/C LR, which is a port of theC+ + Stan dard Templ ate Library (STL) contai ners and algorit hms to man aged code. STL/C LR define s STL- like contai ners, it erators and algorit hms that work on C+ +/CLI manag ed obj ects.[88] [89]
Visual Studio 2008 feature s include an XA ML- based design er (coden amed Cider), workflo w design er, LIN Q to S QL de signer (for definin g the type mappi ngs and object encap sulatio n for SQL Server data), XSLT debug ger, Ja vaScri pt Intel lisense suppor t, JavaS cript Debug ging suppor t, suppor t for UA C mani fests, a conc urrent build system , among others. [90] It ships with an enhan ced set of UI widget s, both for Win dows Forms and W PF. It also include s a multith readed build engine (MSBu ild) to compil e multipl e source files (and build the execut able file) in a project across multipl e threa ds sim ultane ously. It also include s suppor t for compili ng PN G- compr essed i con re source s intro duced in Windo ws Vista. An update d XML Schem a desi gner will ship separa tely some time after the releas e of Visual Studio 2008. [91]
Visual Studio Debug ger inc ludes feature s targeti ng easier debug ging of multi- thread ed applica tions. In debug ging mode, in the Th reads windo w, which lists all the thread s, hoveri ng over a thread will display the stack trace of that thread in tooltips .[92] The thread s can directly be named and flagge d for easier identifi cation from that windo w itself.[93] In additio n, in the code windo w, along with indicati ng the locatio n of the current ly executi ng instruc tion in the current thread, the current ly executi ng instruc tions in other thread s are also pointe d out. [93][94] Th e Visu al Studio debug ger su pports integra ted debug ging of the .NET 3.5 Frame work B ase Class Library (BCL) which can dynam ically downlo ad the BCL source code and de bug symbol s and allow steppi ng into the BCL source during debug ging.[95] As of 2010 a limited subset of the BCL source is availab le, with more library suppor t planne d for later.
Visua l Studi o 2010[ edit]
On 12 April 2010, Micros oft releas ed Visual Studio 2010, coden amed Dev10, [96] and .NET Frame work 4.[97][98]
The Visual Studio 2010 I DE wa s redesi gned which, accord ing to Micr osoft, clears the UI organi zation and "reduc es clutter and compl exity."[9 9] The new IDE better suppor ts multipl e docum ent windo ws and floatin g tool windo ws,[99] while offerin g better multi- monito r suppor t. The IDE shell has been rewritt en using the Wi ndows Presen tation Found ation ( WPF), [100] whe reas the interna ls have been redesi gned using Manag ed Extens ibility Frame work ( MEF) that offers more extensi bility points than previo us versio ns of the IDE that enable d add- ins to modify the behavi or of the IDE.[101]
The new m ulti- paradi gm ML - variant F# for ms part of Visual Studio 2010. [102]
Visual Studio 2010 comes with .N ET Frame work 4 and suppor ts develo ping applica tions targeti ng Win dows 7.[99] It suppor ts IBM DB2 a nd Ora cle dat abase s, in additio n to Micr osoft SQL Server .[99] It has integra ted suppor t for develo ping M icrosof t Silverli ghtapp lication s, includi ng an interac tive design er.[99] Vi sual Studio 2010 offers severa l tools to make paralle l progra mming simple r: in additio n to the Pa rallel Extens ions fo r the .NET Frame work and the Pa rallel Patter ns Library for nati ve code, Visual Studio 2010 include s tools for debug ging paralle l applica tions. The new tools allow the visuali zation of paralle l Tasks and their runtim e stack s.[103] To ols for profilin g paralle l applica tions can be used for visuali zation of thread wait- times and thread migrati ons across proces sor cores. [104] Inte l and Micros oft have jointly pledge d suppor t for a new Concu rrency Runtim e in Visual Studio 2010[105 ] and Intel has launch ed paralle lism suppor t in Para llel Studio as an add-on for Visual Studio. [106]
The Visual Studio 2010 code editor now highlig hts referen ces; whene ver a symbol is selecte d, all other usage s of the symbol are highlig hted. [107] It also offers a Quic k Searc h featu re to incr ement ally search across all symbol s in C+ +, C# and VB.NE T project s. Quick Search suppor ts substri ng match es and ca melCa se sea rches. [107] The Call Hierar chy fe ature allows the develo per to see all the metho ds that are called from a current metho d as well as the metho ds that call the current one.[107] IntelliS ense i n Visual Studio suppor ts a cons ume- first m ode which develo pers can opt into. In this mode, IntelliS ense will not auto- compl ete identifi ers; this allows the develo per to use undefi ned identifi ers (like variabl e or metho d names ) and define those later. Visual Studio 2010 can also help in this by autom atically definin g them, if it can infer their types from usage. [107] Cur rent versio ns of Visual Studio have a known bug which makes IntelliS ense unusa ble for project s using pure C (not C++). [108]
Visual Studio 2010 feature s a new H elp Syste m repl acing the MS DN Library viewer. The Help Syste m is no longer based on Mic rosoft Help 2 and does not use Micros oft Docum ent Explor er. Dynam ic help contai ning links to related help topics based on where the develo per was in the IDE has been remov ed in the shippin g produc t,[109] bu t can be added back using a downlo ad from Micros oft.[110]
Visual Studio 2010 no longer suppor ts develo pment for Windo ws Mobile prior to Win dows Phone 7. Visual Studio 2010 Servic e Pack 1 was releas ed in March 2011. [111]
Visual Studio Ultima te 2010
Visual Studio Ultimat e 2010 replac es Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite. [112] It include s new modeli ng tools, [113] suc h as the Ar chitect ure Explor er, which graphi cally display s project s and classe s and the relatio nships betwe en them. [114][115] It suppor ts UML activity diagra m, compo nent diagra m, (logical ) class diagra m, seque nce diagra m, and use case diagra m.[115] V isual Studio Ultimat e 2010 also include s Test Impact Analys is whic h provid es hints on which test cases are impact ed by modific ations to the source code, without actuall y runnin g the test cases. [116] This speed s up testing by avoidin g runnin g unnec essary test cases.
Visual Studio Ultimat e 2010 also include s a Hist orical Debug ger for manag ed code c alled I ntelliTr ace. Unlike a traditio nal debug ger, that record s only the current ly active stack, IntelliT race record s all events , such as prior functio n calls, metho d param eters, events and excepti ons. This allows the code executi on to be rewou nd in case a breakp oint wasn't set where the error occurr ed.[117] Debug ging with IntelliT race will cause the applica tion to run more slowly than debug ging without it, and will use more memor y as additio nal data needs to be record ed. Micros oft allows config uration of how much data should be record ed, in effect allowin g develo pers to balanc e speed of executi on and resour ce usage. The L ab Manag ement compo nent of Visual Studio Ultimat e 2010 uses virtuali zation to create a similar executi on enviro nment for testers and develo pers. The vir tual machi nes ar e tagged with checkp oints which can later be investi gated for issues, as well as to reprod uce the issue. [118] Vis ual Studio Ultimat e 2010 also include s the capabil ity to record test runs that captur e the specifi c state of the operati ng enviro nment as well as the precis e steps used to run the test. These steps can then be played back to reprod uce issues. [119]
Visua l Studi o 2012[ edit] Microso ft Visual Studio 2012 logo
Final build of Visual Studio 2012 was annou nced on 1 August 2012 and the official launch event was held on 12 Septe mber 2012. [120]
Unlike prior versio ns, Visual Studio 2012 cannot record and play m acros and the macro editor has been remov ed.[121]
A major new feature is suppor t for Win RT an d C+ +/CX ( Comp onent Extens ions). Suppo rt for C+ + AMP ( GPGP U prog rammi ng) is also include d.[122]
On 16 Septe mber 2011, a compl ete 'Devel oper Previe w' of Visual Studio 11 was publish ed on Micros oft's websit e. Visual Studio 11 Develo per Previe w require s Windo ws 7, Windo ws Server 2008 R2, Windo ws 8, or later operati ng system s.[123] V ersion s of Micr osoft Found ation Class Library (MFC) and C runtim e (CRT) include d with this releas e cannot produc e softwa re that is compa tible with Windo ws XP or Windo ws Server 2003 except by using native multi- targeti ng and foregoi ng the newest librarie s, compil ers, and header s.[124] H oweve r, on 15 June 2012, a blog post on the VC++ Team blog annou nced that based on custo mer feedba ck, Micros oft would re- introdu ce native suppor t for Windo ws XP targets (thoug h not for XP as a develo pment platfor m) in a versio n of Visual C++ to be releas ed later in the fall of 2012. [125] "Vis ual Studio 2012 Updat e 1" (Visual Studio 2012.1 ) was releas ed in Novem ber 2012. This update added suppor t for Windo ws XP targets and also added other new tools and feature s (e.g. improv ed diagno stics and testing suppor t for Windo ws Store apps). [126]
On 24 August 2011, a blog post by Sumit Kumar, a Progra m Manag er on the Visual C++ team, listed some of the feature s of the upcom ing versio n of the Visual Studio C++ IDE:[127]

[127]
The source code of Visual Studio 2012 consist s of approx imately 50 million lines of code. [128]
Interfa ce backla sh[edit ]
During Visual Studio 11 beta, Micros oft elimina ted the use of color within tools except in cases where color is used for notifica tion or status chang e purpos es. Howev er, the use of color was returne d after feedba ck deman ding more contra st, differe ntiatio n, clarity and "energ y" in the user interfa ce.[129] [130]
In Visual Studio 2012 RC, a major chang e to the interfa ce is the use of all- caps menu bar, as part of the campa ign to keep Visual Studio consist ent with the directi on of other Micros oft user interfa ces, and to provid e added structu re to the top menu bar area. [131] The redesi gn was criticiz ed for being hard to read, and going agains t the trends started by develo pers to use Ca melCa se to make words stand out better. [132] So me specul ated that the root cause of the redesi gn was to incorp orate the simplis tic look and feel of Metro apps. [133] Ho wever, there exists a Wind ows Registr y optio n to allow users to disable the all- caps interfa ce.[134]
Visua l Studi o 2013[ edit]
The previe w for Visual Studio 2013 was annou nced at the Build 2013 confer ence and made availab le on 26 June 2013. [135] The Visual Studio 2013 RC (Relea se Candid ate) was made availab le to develo pers on MSDN on 9 Septe mber 2013. [136]
