Overview of this book

Visual Studio 2022 is the complete and ideal integrated development environment (IDE) for creating large, complex, and scalable applications. It is one of the most complete tools available for development, especially with Microsoft technologies. This book will teach you how to take advantage of the tools available with this IDE to write clean code faster. You’ll begin by learning how to set up and start Visual Studio 2022 and how to use all the tools provided by this IDE. You will then explore key combinations, tips, and additional utilities that can help you to code faster and review your code constantly. Next, you will see how to compile, debug, and inspect your project to analyze its current behavior using Visual Studio. The book also shows you how to insert reusable blocks of code writing simple statements. Later, you will learn about visual aids and artificial intelligence that will help you improve productivity and understand what is going on in the project. By the end of this book, you will be able to set up your development environment using Visual Studio 2022, personalize the tools and layout, and use shortcuts and extensions to improve your productivity.

Performing live editing

We can share a Live Share session with others, but those users can only join in either edit or read-only mode. By default, all guest users are in read-only mode, so let's join the session with VS using a logged user.

After selecting Open in Visual Studio, as shown in Figure 12.5, VS will load the project and show a loading message to finally show the code with the active session. We will have a menu where the live share button is located to manage the session as a collaborator (see Figure 12.10):

In the preceding figure, we can also see some icons on the left, representing the active collaborators in the session. We can click on Joined to see the options that we have as a collaborator in an active session (see Figure 12.11):

Let's review each option in this menu:
