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.

VS for Mac

VS has a new version for Mac users. Using this version, developers can have a similar experience in MacOS as Windows users.

Due to incompatibility issues, which have to do with the operating system, .NET Framework is not supported in VS for Mac, only VS for Windows.

Figure 1.14 – VS for Mac – the startup screen

Figure 1.14 – VS for Mac – the startup screen

In Figure 1.14, you can see how VS for Mac looks when it is opened; it looks pretty much like the Windows version. The user can choose a recent project, open a project, or create a new one.

Important Note

Even though VS for Mac was made using technology for macOS operating system, the development team is working to maintain the same experience as VS for Windows.

After opening a project, you can set up your toolbar, but by default, VS for Mac has the Solution Explorer, Properties, and Errors sections. VS for Mac is an excellent option for developers that need debugging and performance tools as well as for .NET MAUI (technology to create native apps using C# and XAML or using Blazor) developers who want to create apps for Android, iOS, and MacOS.

If you want to try VS for Mac, you can get the installer at the following link:
