The latest update (17.8) for Visual Studio 2022 is now generally available! Offering a comprehensive suite of enhancements that span productivity, programming languages, and enterprise management, this general release is a monumental step forward. Developed with extensive user feedback, this version is fully compatible with .NET 8, which is also generally available as of today.
BenchmarkDotNet IDiagnosersJavaScript and TypeScript Developmentlaunch.json support for open folderDebugging and DiagnosticsCross-platform Enc/Hot Reload debugging support (Docker, WSL)
This release is a big deal not just for its extensive list of features but also for its emphasis on community-driven enhancements. The above features are the top-ranking improvements, voted by customers themselves. For enterprises, this version simplifies client initialization and adds new management features, ensuring that development teams can operate efficiently. Advanced debugging controls and expanded Test Profiling options are part of this release, providing crucial metrics for application performance optimization.
Supercharging your productivity with Visual Studio gets a lot easier in the newest release of Visual Studio. GitHub Copilot autocomplete is now available as an optional component, making it far easier to install along with a new Visual Studio. A GitHub Copilot subscription is required to activate features; free trial is available.
As more of you are using our Multi-repository features, we heard on this Developer Community suggestion ticket that many of you needed the number of active repositories to be more than 10. You can now work with up to 25 repositories at once in your solution.
Visual Studio now prompts you to mark global functions as static. When you encounter a global function without a forward declaration, Visual Studio will offer a quick fix, represented by a screwdriver icon.
You can customize the setting for this feature under Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > IntelliSense. To learn more about this feature and Make Member Function Const, visit our Make Member Function const and Global Function Static in Visual Studio Blog.
You can also configure transitive include cleanups and include sorting through the Code Cleanup entry. First, open the Code Cleanup configuration menu through Analyze > Code Cleanup > Configure Code Cleanup, or by clicking the arrow next to the broom icon in the bottom status bar and selecting Configure Code Cleanup. Add the desired features to the Included fixers section, then click the broom icon to run them.
Solutions using Razor and Blazor will experience better responsiveness. We achieved this by significantly reducing memory allocations during cross-process communications between Visual Studio and Roslyn. We tested the OrchardCore solution, and the results are impressive. To open the solution and get Razor intellisense ready, we allocate about 1.4GB less memory. Fewer heap allocations mean less work for the garbage collector, which results in improved responsiveness.
Visual Studio 17.8 extends Build Acceleration to managed applications targeting the non-SDK style projects (e.g. projects targeting .NET Framework 4.8 or lower) providing a substantial impact on build times. To enable, set an msbuild project property as follows:
In our internal testing with in-house solutions, we noticed up to a 50% improvement in incremental build times. However, the actual improvement depends on the state of projects when the build begins. Specifically, the fewer the projects that have been modified in comparison to the total projects in the solution, the greater the improvement. The actual extent of improvement you experience will depend on the specific characteristics of your project and its modifications.
To aid this, you can now view structured diagnostics in the Output window and new Problem Details window. Error List entries which have additional information available will show an icon in the new Details column.
To make the CMake Targets View more usable, we have implemented a few new improvements to make it easier than ever to navigate your CMake targets. This includes improved navigation to the CMake Targets View, a new, more simplified CMake Targets View, and the ability to exclude specified CMake items from the Targets View.
Based on feedback from you, we have introduced a Size and Alignment feature. This feature enables you to visualize the size and alignment of your data types, such as classes, structs, unions, base types, or enums, without compiling your code. To check the size and alignment, hover over the identifier and a Quick Info tooltip will display the information. To use this feature, hover over the identifier and a Quick Info tooltip will display the details.
Streamline your testing process without leaving the IDE with Unreal Engine Test Adapter. You can now discover, run, manage, and debug your Unreal Engine tests. In Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8, your Unreal Engine Tests will automatically show up when you open Visual Studio. To see your tests, you can open Test Explorer with View > Test Explorer.
Write code more efficiently with Unreal Engine Code Snippets. In Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8, you can find common Unreal Engine constructs as snippets in your member list. To get started, type any Unreal Engine construct name, for example uclass. Press Tab or Enter to expand the snippet.
One of the top feedback items we commonly receive is suggesting Unreal Engine macro specifiers. We are happy to share that macro specifiers will start appearing in your member list suggestions for reflection macros in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8. This feature will help you quickly access all possible specifiers for respective macros without relying on memory or switching back and forth between Visual Studio and documentation.
Build Insights is now integrated with Visual Studio 2022 and works with MSBuild and CMake projects using MSVC. In Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8, you can now see additional information relating to function generation. The new Functions View will provide you with how long a function takes during compilation as well as the number of ForceInlines associated.
Unlike with C11 atomics there is no compatibility between C11 threads and C++ threads, but C++ programs can include the C11 threads header and call the functions just like any C program. The implementations are distinct.
With this feature, you can effortlessly check the size and alignment of classes, structs, unions, base types, and enums right within your code editor, without the need to compile your code. When you hover over these elements, Quick Info will display their size and alignment information. You have the flexibility to hover over the names of classes, structs, or unions anywhere they appear in your code, not just at their declarations. This eliminates the need to scroll and search for their declarations, allowing you to effortlessly access their size and alignment information from any part of the codebase.
The Visual Studio Profiler has recently been enhanced to provide support for BenchmarkDotNet IDiagnosers. These IDiagnosers play a crucial role in the aggregation of diagsessions originating within BenchmarkDotNet scenarios.
Alternatively, you have the option to navigate to the source file through the right-click context menu. The statistical data is sourced directly from BenchmarkDotNet and is presented in a structured grid format.
When you choose to open folder on your workspace with launch.json in the .vscode directory to store your launch and debug settings, it will be recognized by Visual Studio and included in the dropdown menu for the Debug targets right next to the green button.
Added support for Edit and Continue for F5 (with debugger) and Ctrl-F5 (no debugger) scenarios when diagnosing and debugging apps hosted on Linux containers or in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Please note the F5 debugging scenario relies on .NET 8 RC1 and above.
Then in your code, right click within a method and select IntelliTest (Preview) and either Create Project to create a project where your tests can be saved or Generate Tests to generate a set of tests to review and decide which ones to keep.
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) has upgraded from (Microsoft.Data.SQLClient)MDS 3.0 to MDS 5.0. MDS 5.0 has some significant benefits over MDS 3.0. It has added support to TDS 8.0, support for specifying Server SPN and Failover Server SPN on the connection etc. Please refer to this blog for more information on the benefits of the upgrade.
For SSDT users, the major change that can be noticed is while connecting to a database. Two new fields, namely: Encrypt and Trust Server Certificate have been added to the Connect Page. This specifies the Encryption type and the requirement for a Trust Server Certificate. By default, the Encrypt is set as true or Mandatory. You can find details about this in our Microsoft Learn Documentation.
No news about Windows Forms OOP designer support and performances ?
We want to upgrade from .net fx 4.8 to .net 8 but we are waiting for the same windows forms designer features and performances.
Thanks
I just rebuilt and published my .NET 7 based WinForms app using 17.8 and the software installation fails in users computers because System.SystemConfiguration.ConfigurationManger.dll.deploy file is included TWICE in the manifest. I then published exactly the same solution and code from another PC with previous VS version, and everything worked fine.
The 17.8 version creates such invalid manifest in 3 other PC-s, which seems to indicate that this is systematic issue with the latest VS version, not some isolated single PC related problem. Is there some workaround I need to apply to be able to use 17.8 for ClickOnce publish, or can I hope next version update to resolve this?
