Visual Studio 2022 IDE
Visual Studio 2022 is Microsoft's first 64-bit release of Visual Studio. It can now take full advantage of modern hardware in order to reliably scale to larger, more complex projects. In addition, Visual Studio 2022 featrures improved performance of common scenarios you use every day.

Productive
Scale to work on projects of any size and complexity with a 64-bit IDE. Code with a new Razor editor that can refactor across files. Diagnose issues with visualizations for async operations and automatic analyzers.
Modern
Develop cross-platform mobile and desktop apps with .NET MAUI. Build responsive Web UIs in C# with Blazor. Build, debug, and test .NET and C++ apps in Linux environments. Use hot reload capabilities across .NET and C++ apps. Edit running ASP.NET pages in the web designer view.
Innovative
AI-powered code completions. Work together in real-time with shared coding sessions. Clone repos, navigate work items, and stage individual lines for commits. Automatically set up CI/CD workflows that can deploy to Azure..
Develop
Save time with new features:
Improved search
Formerly known as Quick Launch, our new search experience is faster and more effective. Now, search results appear dynamically as you type. And, search results can often include keyboard shortcuts for commands, so that you can more easily memorise them for future use.
The new fuzzy search logic will find anything you need, regardless of typos. So, whether you're looking for commands, settings, documentation, or other useful things, the new search feature makes it easier to find what you're looking for.
Refactorings
New C# refactorings make it easier to organise your code. Simply invoke the refactorings by pressing Ctrl+. and selecting the action you want to take.
We've added many new refactorings, including one that lets you wrap method parameters.
IntelliCode
Visual Studio IntelliCode is an extension that enhances your software development efforts by using artificial intelligence (AI). IntelliCode trains across 2,000 open-source projects on GitHub—each with over 100 stars—to generate its recommendations.
Here are a few ways that Visual Studio IntelliCode can help enhance your productivity:
Deliver context-aware code completions
Guide developers to adhere to the patterns and styles of their team
Find difficult-to-catch code issues
Focus code reviews by drawing attention to areas that really matter
We initially supported only C# when we first previewed the IntelliCode extension for Visual Studio. Now, we've added support for C++ and XAML in Visual Studio, too.
And if you're using C#, we've also added the ability to train a custom model on your own code.
Code cleanup
Paired with a new document health indicator is a new code cleanup command. You can use this new command to identify and then fix both warnings and suggestions with the click of a button.
The cleanup will format the code and apply any code fixes as suggested by the current settings, .editorconfig files, or Roslyn analysers.
You can also save collections of fixers as a profile. For example, if you have a small set of targeted fixers that you apply frequently while you code, and then you have another comprehensive set of fixers to apply before a code review, you can configure profiles to address these different tasks.
Git and GitHub in Visual Studio 2022
The new capabilities in Visual Studio 2022 that make working with Git repositories a breeze.
Cloud-first workflow
Something you'll notice when you open Visual Studio 2022 is its new start window.
The start window presents you with several options to get you to code quickly. We've placed the option to clone or check out code from a repo, first.
The start window also includes options to open a project or solution, open a local folder, or create a new project.
Live Share
Visual Studio Live Share is a developer service that allows you to share a codebase and its context with a teammate and get instant bidirectional collaboration directly from within Visual Studio. With Live Share, a teammate can read, navigate, edit, and debug a project that you've shared with them, and do so seamlessly and securely.
And with Visual Studio 2022, this service is installed by default.
Integrated code reviews
We're introducing a new extension that you can download to use with Visual Studio 2022. With this new extension, you can review, run, and even debug pull requests from your team without leaving Visual Studio. We support code in both GitHub and Azure DevOps repositories.
Debug
Zero in with precise targeting.
Performance gains
We've taken the once-exclusive C++ data breakpoints and adapted them for .NET Core applications.
So whether you're coding in C++ or .NET Core, data breakpoints can be a good alternative to just placing regular breakpoints. Data breakpoints are also great for scenarios such as finding where a global object is being modified or being added or removed from a list.
And, if you're a C++ developer who develops large applications, Visual Studio 2022 has made symbols out of proc, which allows you to debug those applications without experiencing memory-related issues.
Search while debugging
You've probably been there before, looking in the Watch window for a string amongst a set of values. In Visual Studio 2022, we've added search in the Watch, Locals, and Autos windows to help you find the objects and values you're looking for.
You can also format how a value is displayed within the Watch, Locals, and Autos windows. Double-click one of the items in any of the windows and add a comma (",") to access the drop-down list of possible format specifiers, each of which includes a description of its intended effect.
Snapshot Debugger
Get a snapshot of your app's execution in the cloud to see exactly what's happening. (This feature is available in Visual Studio Enterprise, only.)
We've added support for targeting ASP.NET (Core and desktop) applications that run on an Azure VM. And, we've added support for applications that run in an Azure Kubernetes Service. The Snapshot Debugger can help you dramatically reduce the time it takes to resolve issues that occur in production environments.
