Description

Write code with fewer errors
Type variables quickly and accurately, using IntelliSense code suggestions if you get stuck Maintain speed no matter the complexity as you navigate to any file, type, member, or symbol declaration you need. Make quick improvements to your code using light bulbs that suggest actions such as renaming a function or adding a parameter.

Learn more about your code
CodeLens helps you easily find important insight such as what changes have been made to your code, the impact of those changes, and whether your method has been unit tested. See references, authors, tests, commit history, and other essential information at a glance.

Quickly find and fix your bugs
Visual Studio lets you pause code execution the moment you want to inspect a big, using the breakpoint and method you need. If you've taken one step too far or encountered an unexpected change, you can step back to any specific line of code-no need to restart your session or recreate your state.

Work efficiently
Easily navigate and organize your test suite so you can analyze how much code you're testing and see results instantly. Immediately know the impact of every change you make, letting advanced features test code as you type. Fix errors as soon as they happen and see if new changes are covered by existing tests.

Share more than screens
Lead your team with quick and natural collaboration using Live Share to edit and debug together in real time, no matter the language or platform. Personalize your session with access controls and custom editor settings that enforce consistent coding styles for everyone.

Build for the cloud
Get up and running quickly using templates for common application types and local Azure emulators-no need for an Azure account. You can also provision application dependencies such as Azure SQL databases and Azure Storage accounts without leaving Visual Studio. Quickly diagnose any issues using Visual Studio's remote debugger, which attaches directly to your application.
