GitHub Copilot: Your AI-powered coding companion is seamlessly woven into your Visual Studio IDE, enhancing your everyday tasks and bringing you the latest AI-driven coding experiences. Copilot is designed to elevate your efficiency by offering:

We introduced the new, unified Copilot experience in Visual Studio 17.10. This combines the features of Copilot and Copilot Chat into one convenient package, eliminating the need to install two separate extensions. Enjoy more deeply integrated AI experiences! Activate your GitHub Copilot subscription today by signing in to GitHub or starting a free trial for the latest AI experience.

Similar to our generated Git commit message feature, you can now get a first draft for your pull request description created by GitHub Copilot. You'll get assistance in providing important context to your colleagues for their reviews and double check you're including the right changes in your pull request.

You'll need to verify you have an active GitHub Copilot subscription and the GitHub Copilot Chat Extension installed. Try it out by clicking the 'Add AI Generated Pull Request Description' sparkle pen icon within the Create a Pull Request window. Please share your feedback on this feature here.

Git history can be daunting to shuffle through, but it's often the best way to learn about a code base or help identify the origin of a bug. We've added a GitHub Copilot powered explain feature to the Commit Details window to make it easier to understand the contents of each commit.

You'll need to have an active GitHub Copilot subscription and the GitHub Copilot Chat Extension installed. Double click on any commit to open the Commit Details pane in the Git Repository window. Then, click on the 'Explain Commit' sparkle pen icon to get a summary of the changes side by side with the code. We plan to continue improving this feature so share your feedback here.

.NET Aspire is an opinionated, cloud ready stack for building observable, production ready, distributed applications. .NET Aspire is delivered through a collection of NuGet packages that handle specific cloud-native concerns. Whether you're building distributed, cloud-native applications using containerized resources like PostgreSQL and Redis, or Azure components like Storage or Service Bus, .NET Aspire will simplify your development experience and give you more visibility across your distributed apps with features like:

Boost your debugging speed with AI-generated suggestions for conditional breakpoints and tracepoints. Copilot analyzes your code to propose smart expressions tailored to your breakpoints, making debugging smoother.

When you're setting up a conditional breakpoint or tracepoint and hover over the condition area in the settings window, Copilot quickly presents AI-generated expression ideas based on your code. Choose the condition that suits your needs best and place your breakpoint or tracepoint with ease.

The .NET counter profiler in Visual Studio now introduces support for two innovative metrics: UpDown, enabling real-time tracking of values with both incremental and decremental changes, and ObservableCounter, which autonomously manages aggregated totals, offering customizable callback delegates for precise control.In the provided screenshot, "total-hats" illustrates an UpDown counter, while "orders-pending" demonstrates an ObservableCounter.

Moreover, we've implemented a filter flyout feature, enabling you to conveniently filter data points based on tags. This dynamically adjusts both summary and swimlane views according to the applied combinations.

This enhancement significantly enhances flexibility, streamlining the monitoring of dynamic values in projects.For instance, in web application development, the UpDown counter can monitor user interactions such as page views, while the Observable Counter optimizes server resources by efficiently managing active session totals.

The managed memory window Insights tab now supports GC Insights. This feature provides a deeper understanding of your application's performance by shedding light on instances of induced Garbage Collection (GC).These instances are generally considered undesirable as they can impede the efficiency of your processes, since they involve manual intervention rather than allowing the Garbage Collector to autonomously manage memory allocation.Furthermore, GC Insights offers the ability to analyze these occurrences with time estimates, allowing you to better comprehend the impact of induced GC on their application's execution timeline.

This upgrade simplifies debugging with new menu options: "Insert Conditional Breakpoint" and "Insert Tracepoint." You can now create breakpoints effortlessly using property or field names and values from autos, locals, watch windows, or DataTips. This makes debugging workflows easier, especially for complex expressions.

The new "Hot Path to Root" feature improves memory analysis by finding the most likely path to the root for calculating an object's total size. It transforms the heap graph into a tree, using shortcuts like prioritizing the shortest path and avoiding cycling paths to actual roots.This feature is a great starting point for memory investigations, known as the "Hot Path to Root" in the Memory Usage tool reference graph. You'll spot the hot path with a red icon in the tree below.

The Attach to Process dialog in Visual Studio has been greatly improved for better functionality and user-friendliness. These updates include seamless integration with Visual Studio themes, a more space-saving view with tooltips for connection info, and setting "Local" connection as the default for faster access. You can now easily switch between tree and list views, organize processes better with collapsible sections, and select code types with a simplified combobox.Moreover, the Select/Track Window" feature is now easier to use, allowing two- way tracking, selecting a process highlights its window, and clicking on a window selects its process.

The Performance Profiler's Instrumentation Tool now allows targeted profiling for any executable (exe) file. After selecting an exe file, a targeted instrumentation dialog appears, similar to startup project profiling. This enhancement enables focused analysis of performance metrics for specific executables.Additionally, you can broaden the profiling scope by including extra Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) using the 'Add Item' button, enhancing the examination of application performance.

When building ASP.NET Core Blazor projects you may experience significant delays when you start debugging in some cases. With this release we have made changes which should prevent those delays. If you cannot upgrade to 17.10, or above, there is a workaround listed on Developer Community site for version 17.9.

Teams Toolkit now includes a new project file (.ttkproj) that is used to organize all of the files for managing a Teams app. Creating a new Microsoft Teams App project will create a solution with two projects and you'll see a TeamsApp project which contains the app manifest and other files for Teams Toolkit features along with another C# project with example code for implementating app capabilities like a conversational bot, Tab, etc.

You can now use the Visual Studio 2022 version 17.10 installer to export installed instance-wide Marketplace extensions into a *.vsconfig file. This new export feature complements the Visual Studio installer's ability to load extensions specified in a *.vsconfig file that we shipped in 17.9. If you have any feedback or suggestions about this experience, please let us know in our Developer Community.

You can now enable inlay hints for C# code in your Razor (.razor, .cshtml) files. Inlay hints display parameter names for literals and object instantiation inline with your code. Inlay hints can also display type hints for variables with inferred types (i.e. var) and lambda parameter types. This feature can be enabled via Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced.

To use the new options to personalize your experience, navigate to the "Fonts and Colors" page in Tools > Options > Environment where you'll find checkboxes for each of the previously mentioned options.

Through a fruitful collaboration with a key partner, we are thrilled to announce substantial enhancements to the WinForms server process TypeResolutionService. These enhancements have yielded remarkable design time performance improvements, ranging from 30% to an impressive 50% in typical line of business applications. Notably, these enhancements particularly shine during scenarios that trigger server process restart and designer reload, such as project rebuilds or adjustments in project references. At the heart of these performance improvements lies a new mechanism implemented by our team, prioritizing assemblies crucial for designer load. We encourage you to explore the updated designer and share your invaluable feedback through VS Feedback channel so that we can continue improving WinForms designer performance.

The workloads users select during installation come with required and recommended components. Required components are essential for the workload's functionality, while recommended components, though optional, play a crucial role in maximizing its potential.

Since the release of Visual Studio 2017, ongoing enhancements have been integrated into the IDE through minor version updates. These improvements enhance productivity and expand development capabilities, seamlessly integrated into both existing components and new ones. However, many users may not be aware of these new recommended components as they update incrementally. To address this, starting with 17.10 P1, Visual Studio will automatically install these new recommended components during updates. Notably, the recommended components installed during the update are only for workloads chosen by users.
