We previously used the Invision Studio team to shoot our 360 virtual tour and they did an outstanding job!

Rachel at Invision was so understanding and responded right away, as well as help me on how to upload our new ones. They truly care about their future, current and past clients - that's all you could ask for someone in the service business. I will always recommend the Invision Studio team!

Nico worked on two of our commercial listings. The Invision Studio team is reliable, professional, communicative and we highly recommend their service.

It was a pleasure working with the Invision Studio team. We would highly recommend their services.

Visual Studio 2022 – 17.10 Performance Enhancements

Ashok kamath.

June 11th, 2024 7

We are excited to announce the latest update of Visual Studio 2022, which brings you a range of performance enhancements across various areas of the IDE. In this blog post, we will highlight some of the most notable improvements that you can experience in version 17.10, such as faster Windows Forms designer loading, faster Razor colorization, quicker solution loading, and reduced DLL overhead.

Download Visual Studio 17.10

Windows Forms designer loading speed

We heard from developers and partners that Windows Forms designer in projects targeting .NET Core 3.1 and up can be slow in loading up. In those scenarios the designer is loaded inside a separate process that runs alongside Visual Studio. The time to load this process can be long depending on the project’s dependencies. The impact is exacerbated when this designer process needs to be restarted under some conditions, such as when project references change. To improve the designer restart time, we have optimized how we prioritize and load assemblies into the designer process.

We are thrilled to announce that these enhancements have yielded remarkable design time performance improvements, ranging from 30% to an impressive 50% in a typical line of business application. We encourage you to explore the updated designer and share your invaluable feedback through the VS feedback channel  so that we can continue improving Windows Forms designer performance.

Razor / C# colorization speed

Colorizing C# code is a complex operation. When there is C# code inside Razor pages, Razor delegates the task of colorization of such code to the C# language service (Roslyn). Our data shows that in most cases this colorization is very fast, but about 10% of cases can run into hundreds of milliseconds.

Performance improvement of Razor editing experience is a consistent focus of our engineers; in 17.10 they focused on the slow colorization. In their analysis, they found that Roslyn performs a significant amount of work which is not really needed in the specific context of colorization of the code (e.g. determining which variables are potentially null).

Optimizations have been put in such that Roslyn does just the work that is needed in the colorization context. Based on data from 17.10 Preview builds, we have noticed about 25% reduction in colorization time in the slowest cases. If you have noticed a lag before colorization within Razor, we hope you will notice the improvement in 17.10.

Faster .NET solution load

The speed of opening a solution is something that we improve with every update of Visual Studio and 17.10 is no different. Visual Studio uses something called an evaluation cache such that on every opening of a solution, MSBuild does not have to reevaluate all the dependencies.

In 17.10, the contents of this cache were heavily tuned such that loading it is more efficient. Our measurements with OrchardCore solution showed that the cache size dropped by nearly 50%. More importantly for our users, this resulted in a 10% reduction in the time to open that solution.

Improving the fundamentals

In 17.10, in addition to improving fundamentals such as CPU and memory usage, we also reduced the number of DLLs loaded in specific scenarios. With careful refactoring and tuning of code involved in loading .NET projects, we cut down the number of DLLs loaded by 10%! Loading DLLs can be slow on lower end machines with spinning disk hard drives. Moreover, DLL loads invite overhead from anti-virus software inspecting the DLLs, so we hope these improvements will help on slower machines.

Share your feedback and stay connected with Visual Studio!

We appreciate the time you’ve spent reporting issues and submitting suggestions and hope you continue to give us feedback when using Visual Studio on what you like and what we can improve. Your feedback is critical to help us make Visual Studio the best tool it can be! You can share feedback with us via  Developer Community : report any bugs or issues via  report a problem  and  share your suggestions  for new features or improvements to existing ones.

On behalf of the entire Visual Studio team, thanks for reading and Happy Coding!

Welcome to the Visual Studio IDE | C#

• 11 contributors

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a feature-rich program that supports many aspects of software development. The Visual Studio IDE is a creative launching pad that you can use to edit, debug, and build code, and then publish an app. Over and above the standard editor and debugger that most IDEs provide, Visual Studio includes compilers, code completion tools, graphical designers, and many more features to enhance the software development process.

The preceding image shows Visual Studio with an open project that shows key windows and their functionality:

In Solution Explorer , at upper right, you can view, navigate, and manage your code files. Solution Explorer can help organize your code by grouping the files into solutions and projects .

The central editor window , where you'll probably spend most of your time, displays file contents. In the editor window, you can edit code or design a user interface such as a window with buttons and text boxes.

In Git Changes at lower right, you can track work items and share code with others by using version control technologies like Git and GitHub .

Visual Studio is available for Windows and Mac. Visual Studio for Mac has many of the same features as Visual Studio for Windows, and is optimized for developing cross-platform and mobile apps. This article focuses on the Windows version of Visual Studio.

There are three editions of Visual Studio: Community, Professional, and Enterprise. See Compare Visual Studio editions to learn about which features are supported in each edition.

Popular productivity features

Some popular features in Visual Studio that improve your productivity when developing software include:

Squiggles and Quick Actions

Squiggles are wavy underlines that alert you to errors or potential problems in your code as you type. These visual clues help you fix problems immediately, without waiting to discover errors during build or runtime. If you hover over a squiggle, you see more information about the error. A lightbulb might also appear in the left margin showing Quick Actions you can take to fix the error.

Code Cleanup

With the click of a button, you can format your code and apply any code fixes suggested by your code style settings , .editorconfig conventions , and Roslyn analyzers . Code Cleanup , currently available for C# code only, helps you resolve issues in your code before it goes to code review.

Refactoring

Refactoring includes operations such as intelligent renaming of variables, extracting one or more lines of code into a new method, and changing the order of method parameters.

IntelliSense

IntelliSense is a set of features that display information about your code directly in the editor and, in some cases, write small bits of code for you. It's like having basic documentation inline in the editor, so you don't have to look up type information elsewhere.

The following illustration shows how IntelliSense displays a member list for a type:

IntelliSense features vary by language. For more information, see C# IntelliSense , Visual C++ IntelliSense , JavaScript IntelliSense , and Visual Basic IntelliSense .

Visual Studio search

Visual Studio menus, options, and properties can seem overwhelming at times. Visual Studio search, or Ctrl + Q , is a great way to rapidly find IDE features and code in one place.

For information and productivity tips, see How to use Visual Studio search .

Collaboratively edit and debug with others in real time, regardless of your app type or programming language. You can instantly and securely share your project. You can also share debugging sessions, terminal instances, localhost web apps, voice calls, and more.

Call Hierarchy

The Call Hierarchy window shows the methods that call a selected method. This information can be useful when you're thinking about changing or removing the method, or when you're trying to track down a bug.

CodeLens helps you find code references, code changes, linked bugs, work items, code reviews, and unit tests, without leaving the editor.

Go To Definition

The Go To Definition feature takes you directly to the location of a function or type definition.

Peek Definition

The Peek Definition window shows a method or type definition without opening a separate file.

Hot Reload enables you to edit your application's code files and apply the code changes immediately to the running application.

Install Visual Studio

In this section, you create a simple project to try out some of the things you can do with Visual Studio. You use IntelliSense as a coding aid, debug an app to see a variable value during app execution, and change the color theme.

To get started, download Visual Studio and install it on your system. The modular installer enables you to choose and install workloads , which are groups of features needed for the programming languages or platforms you want. To follow the steps to create a program , be sure to select the .NET Core cross-platform development workload during installation.

To get started, download Visual Studio and install it on your system. In the modular installer, you choose and install workloads , which are groups of features you need for the programming languages or platforms you want. To use the following steps to create a program , be sure to select the .NET desktop development workload during installation.

When you open Visual Studio for the first time, you can sign in by using your Microsoft account or your work or school account.

Create a program

Dive in and create a simple program.

Open Visual Studio.

The start window appears with options for cloning a repo, opening a recent project, or creating a new project.

Choose Create a new project .

The Create a new project window opens and shows several project templates . A template contains the basic files and settings required for a given project type.

To find the template we want, type or enter .net core console in the search box. The list of available templates is automatically filtered based on the keywords you entered. You can further filter the template results by choosing C# from the All language drop-down list, Windows from the All platforms list, and Console from the All project types list.

Select the Console Application template, and then click Next .

In the Configure your new project window, enter HelloWorld in the Project name box, optionally change the directory location for your project files (the default locale is C:\Users\<name>\source\repos ), and then click Next .

In the Additional information window, verify that .NET Core 3.1 appears in the Target Framework drop-down menu, and then click Create .

Visual Studio creates the project. It's a simple "Hello World" application that calls the Console.WriteLine() method to display the literal string "Hello World!" in the console (program output) window.

Shortly, you should see something like the following screen:

The C# code for your application shows in the editor window, which takes up most of the space. Notice that the text is automatically colorized to indicate different parts of the code, such as keywords and types. In addition, small, vertical dashed lines in the code indicate which braces match one another, and line numbers help you locate code later. You can choose the small, boxed minus signs to collapse or expand blocks of code. This code outlining feature lets you hide code you don't need, helping to minimize onscreen clutter. The project files are listed on the right side in a window called Solution Explorer .

There are other menus and tool windows available, but let's move on for now.

Now, start the app. You can do this by choosing Start Without Debugging from the Debug menu on the menu bar. You can also press Ctrl + F5 .

Visual Studio builds the app, and a console window opens with the message Hello World! . You now have a running app!

To close the console window, press any key on your keyboard.

Let's add some more code to the app. Add the following C# code before the line that says Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); :

This code displays What is your name? in the console window, and then waits until the user enters some text followed by the Enter key.

Change the line that says Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); to the following code:

Run the app again by selecting Debug > Start Without Debugging or by pressing Ctrl + F5 .

Visual Studio rebuilds the app, and a console window opens and prompts you for your name.

Enter your name in the console window and press Enter .

Press any key to close the console window and stop the running program.

Start Visual Studio. The start window appears with options for cloning a repo, opening a recent project, or creating a new project.

To find a template, you can type or enter keywords in the search box. The list of available templates filters based on the keywords you enter. You can further filter the template results by choosing C# from the All languages dropdown list, Windows from the All platforms list, and Console from the All project types list.

Select the Console Application template, and then select Next .

In the Configure your new project window, enter HelloWorld in the Project name box. Optionally, change the project directory location from the default location of C:\Users\<name>\source\repos , and then select Next .

In the Additional information window, verify that .NET 8.0 appears in the Target Framework drop-down menu, and then select Create .

Visual Studio creates the project. The program is a simple "Hello World" application that calls the Console.WriteLine() method to display the string Hello, World! in a console window.

The project files appear on the right side of the Visual Studio IDE, in a window called the Solution Explorer . In the Solution Explorer window, select the Program.cs file. The C# code for your app opens in the central editor window, which takes up most of the space.

The code is automatically colorized to indicate different parts, such as keywords and types. Line numbers help you locate code.

Small, vertical dashed lines in the code indicate which braces match one another. You can also choose small, boxed minus or plus signs to collapse or expand blocks of code. This code outlining feature lets you hide code you don't need to see, helping to minimize onscreen clutter.

Many other menus and tool windows are available.

Start the app by choosing Debug > Start Without Debugging from the Visual Studio top menu. You can also press Ctrl + F5 .

Visual Studio builds the app, and a console window opens with the message Hello, World! . You now have a running app!

To close the console window, press any key.

This code displays What is your name? in the console window, and then waits until the user enters some text.

Change the line that says Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); to the following line:

Run the app again by selecting Debug > Start Without Debugging or pressing Ctrl + F5 .

Type your name in the console window and press Enter .

Use refactoring and IntelliSense

Let's look at a couple of the ways that refactoring and IntelliSense can help you code more efficiently.

First, rename the name variable:

Double-click the name variable, and type the new name for the variable, username .

A box appears around the variable, and a light bulb appears in the margin.

Select the light bulb icon to show the available Quick Actions . Select Rename 'name' to 'username' .

The variable is renamed across the project, which in our case is only two places.

Now take a look at IntelliSense. Below the line that says Console.WriteLine($"\nHello {username}!"); , type DateTime now = DateTime. .

A box displays the members of the DateTime class. The description of the currently selected member also displays in a separate box.

Select the member named Now , which is a property of the class, by double-clicking it or pressing Tab . Complete the line of code by adding a semicolon to the end of the line: DateTime now = DateTime.Now; .

Below that line, enter the following lines of code:

Console.Write is different from Console.WriteLine in that it doesn't add a line terminator after it prints. That means that the next piece of text that's sent to the output will print on the same line. You can hover over each of these methods in your code to see their descriptions.

Next, use refactoring again to make the code a little more concise. Select the variable now in the line DateTime now = DateTime.Now; . A screwdriver icon appears in the margin on that line.

Select the screwdriver icon to see available suggestions from Visual Studio. This case shows the Inline temporary variable refactoring to remove a line of code without changing the overall code behavior.

Select Inline temporary variable to refactor the code.

Run the program again by pressing Ctrl + F5 . The output looks something like this:

When you write code, you should run it and test it for bugs. Visual Studio's debugging system lets you step through code one statement at a time and inspect variables as you go. You can set breakpoints that stop execution of the code at a particular line, and observe how the variable value changes as the code runs.

Set a breakpoint to see the value of the username variable while the program is running.

Set a breakpoint on the line of code that says Console.WriteLine($"\nHello {username}!"); by clicking in the far-left margin, or gutter, next to the line. You can also select the line of code and then press F9 .

A red circle appears in the gutter, and the line is highlighted.

Start debugging by selecting Debug > Start Debugging or pressing F5 .

When the console window appears and asks for your name, enter your name.

The focus returns to the Visual Studio code editor, and the line of code with the breakpoint is highlighted in yellow. The yellow highlight means that this line of code will execute next. The breakpoint makes the app pause execution at this line.

Hover your mouse over the username variable to see its value. You can also right-click on username and select Add Watch to add the variable to the Watch window, where you can also see its value.

Press F5 again to finish running the app.

Once the app is running, you can apply code changes to the running app by clicking the Hot Reload button.

On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options to open the Options dialog.

On the Environment > General options page, change the Color theme selection to Dark , and then choose OK .

The color theme for the entire IDE changes to Dark .

On the Environment > General options page, change the Color Theme selection to Blue or Light , and then select OK .

The color theme for the entire IDE changes accordingly. The following screenshot shows the Blue theme:

To learn about other ways you can personalize the IDE, see Personalize Visual Studio .

Today Only: Bag a Microsoft Visual Studio Professional Lifetime License at $459 Off

Get Microsoft's development environment at a whopping 91% discount if you order today.

• 10 years writing about technology professionally.

Microsoft's popular Visual Studio Professional is one of the best-integrated development environments out there, and now it's a staggering 91% off the retail price. There's an added bonus: Since this isn't a recurring subscription but rather a lifetime license, you'll save money in the long run. A normal subscription would run you about $45 a month. This deal from StackSocial will get you a lifetime copy of Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2022  for just $40 instead of the standard $499 one-time price, but you'll need to act fast. This deal is only going to remain available for the rest of today, and then it's gone for good.

When you're writing and editing code on a large scale, basic rich text editors probably aren't going to cut it. Having an IDE, or integrated development environment, will allow you to not only write and edit but also run your code so you can debug it all in one platform. Microsoft Visual Studio is a 64-bit IDE with advanced tools and built-in integrations that can make it much easier to handle a sizable workload or a particularly large project. 

Hey, did you know?   CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money .  

Visual Studio Pro will allow you to build across languages and platforms, and with IntelliCode to help you complete lines or blocks of code, you should be able to increase your speed and accuracy on the whole. CodeLens is another great feature that allows you to see recent changes, tests, authors and more. Perhaps most importantly, you'll be able to collaborate in real time and make sure your team's code stays consistent.

There are a couple of caveats when it comes to choosing this deal over paying for the full subscription version. First, the code provided can only be used once, meaning you will have access to Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2022 on only one device and will not be able to install it on multiple machines or transfer it if your current device crashes. You also won't get the Azure access and credit that the Microsoft subscription includes. The good news is that updates are included with your purchase, so this should serve you well for as long as you have your current device. Just be sure to check the system requirements to ensure your device is compatible with this program before you checkout.

X3D Studio, South-east Asia's largest virtual production studio, officially opened its doors on Jun 19, marking a significant milestone in Singapore's media landscape.

The facility, occupying a 40,000 sq ft space, is equipped with cutting-edge tools, including an expansive LED wall and comprehensive motion capture systems. This will allow filmmakers to transcend the limitations of physical sets and craft breathtakingly realistic virtual worlds.

"This technology opens up a whole new dimension for storytelling in Singapore," said X3D Studio and Refinery Media CEO and co-founder Karen Seah.

"Singapore's geographical constraints make it the perfect breeding ground for virtual production, allowing us to compete on a global scale."

The studio's commitment to nurturing local talent is showcased in its debut productions – two sci-fi short films, Dead End starring Qi Yuwu and Andrew Lua, and Trap starring Oon Shu An. Both films will be released on X3D Studio’s website and YouTube channel by the end of June.

Dead End transports viewers to a dystopian future Singapore, where Qi and Lua’s characters must fight for survival amidst a desolate cityscape.

Reflecting on his experience with the technology, Qi said, "Virtual production brings a tangible reality to the set that fosters a more nuanced performance. Instead of relying solely on imagination, I could react directly to the environment, making the experience more immersive and authentic."

He went on to highlight the significance of this innovation for Singapore filmmaking.

"Virtual production offers a solution to the limitations faced by our industry, particularly in terms of location and budget. It opens a new world of possibilities and allows us to create stories that were previously deemed impractical."

Trap features Oon’s character in a futuristic Singapore, grappling with the complexities of a technology-driven world. For Oon, the studio's controlled environment was a revelation.

"It was a fascinating experience to witness how the virtual world seamlessly merged with the physical set," she shared. "The control it offers over elements like lighting and weather is truly remarkable. The creative potential is limitless."

Adding to its impressive credentials, X3D Studio is the first in the world outside of leading camera and lighting systems manufacturer ARRI's existing studios to receive the coveted ARRI Stage Accreditation.

With the launch of the X3D Academy, in partnership with Nanyang Polytechnic, the studio is also taking a proactive approach to developing the next generation of virtual production professionals. The academy's courses will equip aspiring filmmakers with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving industry.

IMDA Media Capability Development director Suryahti Abdul Latiff expressed enthusiasm for X3D Studio.

“We are excited to see the establishment of X3D Studio in Singapore, as it will foster collaborations and accelerate the use of virtual production technology in Singapore and Asia,” she said. “We look forward to seeing more captivating content produced by Singapore's media industry as emerging technologies unlock new capabilities for storytelling,"
