VISUAL STUDIO

 Article

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio

for Mac.

Visual Studio is an integrated development

environment (IDE) developed by Microsoft. It is used to
develop computer programs including websites, web
apps, web services and mobile apps. Visual Studio uses
Microsoft software development platforms including Windows
API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF), Microsoft Store and Microsoft
Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed
code.

Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense

(the code completion component) as well as code
refactoring. The integrated debugger works as both a source-
level debugger and as a machine-level debugger. Other built-in
tools include a code profiler, designer for building GUI
applications, web designer, class designer, and database
schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that expand the
functionality at almost every level—including adding support
for source control systems (like Subversion and Git) and
adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for
domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of
the software development lifecycle (like the Azure
DevOps client: Team Explorer).

Visual Studio supports 36 different programming languages[citation

needed]
and allows the code editor and debugger to support (to
varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a
language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C,[6]
C++, C++/CLI, Visual Basic .NET, C#, F#,[7] JavaScript,
TypeScript, XML, XSLT, HTML, and CSS. Support for other
languages such as Python,[8] Ruby, Node.js, and M among
others is available via plug-ins. Java (and J#) were supported in
the past.

1
The most basic edition of Visual Studio, the Community edition,
is available free of charge. The slogan for Visual Studio
Community edition is "Free, fully-featured IDE for students,
open-source and individual developers". As of March 23, 2025,
Visual Studio 2022 is a current production-ready version. Visual
Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 are on Extended Support.[9]

Architecture

Visual Studio does not support any programming language,

solution or tool intrinsically; instead, it allows the plugging of
functionality coded as a VSPackage. When installed, the
functionality is available as a Service. The IDE provides three
services: SVsSolution, which provides the ability to enumerate
projects and solutions; SVsUIShell, which provides windowing
and UI functionality (including tabs, toolbars, and tool windows);
and SVsShell, which deals with registration of VSPackages. In
addition, the IDE is also responsible for coordinating and
enabling communication between services. [10] All editors,
designers, project types and other tools are implemented as
VSPackages. Visual Studio uses COM to access the VSPackages.
The Visual Studio SDK also includes the Managed Package
Framework (MPF), which is a set of managed wrappers around
the COM-interfaces that allow the Packages to be written in
any CLI compliant language.[11] However, MPF does not provide
all the functionality exposed by the Visual Studio COM
interfaces.[12] The services can then be consumed for creation of
other packages, which add functionality to the Visual Studio
IDE.

Support for programming languages is added by using a

specific VSPackage called a Language Service. A language
service defines various interfaces which the VSPackage
implementation can implement to add support for various
functionalities.[13] Functionalities that can be added this way
include syntax coloring, statement completion, brace matching,
parameter information tooltips, member lists, and error markers
for background compilation.[13] If the interface is implemented,
the functionality will be available for the language. Language
services are implemented on a per-language basis. The

2
implementations can reuse code from the parser or the
compiler for the
language.[13] Language services can be implemented either
in native code or managed code. For native code, either the
native COM interfaces or the Babel Framework (part of Visual
Studio SDK) can be used.[14] For managed code, the MPF
includes wrappers for writing managed language services. [15]

Visual Studio does not include any source control support built
in but it defines two alternative ways for source control systems
to integrate with the IDE.[16] A Source Control VSPackage can
provide its own customised user interface. In contrast, a source
control plugin using the MSSCCI (Microsoft Source Code Control
Interface) provides a set of functions that are used to
implement various source control functionality, with a standard
Visual Studio user interface.[17][18] MSSCCI was first used to
integrate Visual SourceSafe with Visual Studio 6.0 but was later
opened up via the Visual Studio SDK. Visual Studio .NET 2002
used MSSCCI 1.1, and Visual Studio .NET 2003 used MSSCCI 1.2.
Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 use MSSCCI Version 1.3,
which adds support for rename and delete propagation, as well
as asynchronous opening.[18]

Visual Studio supports running multiple instances of the

environment (each with its own set of VSPackages). The
instances use different registry hives (see MSDN's definition of
the term "registry hive" in the sense used here) to store their
configuration state and are differentiated by their AppId
(Application ID). The instances are launched by an AppId-
specific .exe that selects the AppId, sets the root hive, and
launches the IDE. VSPackages registered for one AppId are
integrated with other VSPackages for that AppId. The various
product editions of Visual Studio are created using the different
AppIds. The Visual Studio Express edition products are installed
with their own AppIds, but the Standard, Professional, and Team
Suite products share the same AppId. Consequently, one can
install the Express editions side-by-side with other editions,
unlike the other editions which update the same installation.
The professional edition includes a superset of the VSPackages
in the standard edition, and the team suite includes a superset
of the VSPackages in both other editions. The AppId system is
leveraged by the Visual Studio Shell in Visual Studio 2008.[19]

3
Features

Code editor [edit]

Visual Studio includes a code editor that supports syntax

highlighting and code
completion using IntelliSense for variables,
functions, methods, loops, and LINQ queries.[20] IntelliSense is
supported for the included languages, as well as for XML,
Cascading Style Sheets, and JavaScript when developing web
sites and web applications.[21][22] Autocomplete suggestions
appear in a modeless list box over the code editor window, in
proximity of the editing cursor. In Visual Studio 2008 onwards, it
can be made temporarily semi-transparent to see the code
obstructed by it.[20] The code editor is used for all supported
languages.

The code editor in Visual Studio also supports setting

bookmarks in code for quick navigation. Other navigational aids
include collapsing code blocks and incremental search, in
addition to normal text search and regex search.[23] The code
editor also includes a multi-item clipboard and a task list.[23] The
code editor supports code snippets, which are saved templates
for repetitive code and can be inserted into code and
customized for the project being worked on. A management
tool for code snippets is built in as well. These tools are
surfaced as floating windows which can be set to automatically
hide when unused or docked to the side of the screen. The code
editor in Visual Studio also supports code refactoring including
parameter reordering, variable and method
renaming, interface extraction, and encapsulation of class
members inside properties, among others.

Debugger [edit]

Visual Studio includes a debugger that works both as a

source-level debugger and as a machine-level debugger. It
works with both managed code as well as native code and can
be used for debugging applications written in any language
supported by Visual Studio. In addition, it can also attach to
running processes, monitor, and debug those processes. [24] If
source code for the running process is available, it displays the

4
code as it is being run. If source code is not available, it can
show the disassembly. The Visual Studio debugger can also
create memory dumps as well as load them later for debugging.
[25]
Multi-threaded programs are also supported. The debugger
can be configured to be launched when an application running
outside the Visual Studio environment crashes.

The Visual Studio Debugger allows setting breakpoints (which

allow execution to be stopped temporarily at a certain position)
and watches (which monitor the values of variables as the
execution progresses).[26] Breakpoints can be conditional,
meaning they get triggered when the condition is met. Code
can be stepped over, i.e., run one line (of source code) at a
time.[27] It can either step into functions to debug inside it,
or step over it, i.e., the execution of the function body isn't
available for manual inspection.[27] The debugger supports Edit
and Continue, i.e., it allows code to be edited as it is being
debugged. When debugging, if the mouse pointer hovers over
any variable, its current value is displayed in a tooltip ("data
tooltips"), where it can also be modified if desired. During
coding, the Visual Studio debugger lets certain functions be
invoked manually from the Immediate tool window. The
parameters to the method are supplied at the Immediate
window.[28]

Designer [edit]

Visual Studio includes many visual designers to aid in the

development of applications. These tools include:

Windows Forms Designer

The Windows Forms designer is used to build GUI applications

using Windows Forms. Layout can be controlled by housing the
controls inside other containers or locking them to the side of
the form. Controls that display data (like textbox, list box and
grid view) can be bound to data sources
like databases or queries. Data-bound controls can be created
by dragging items from the Data Sources window onto a design
surface.[29] The UI is linked with code using an event-driven
programming model. The designer generates
either C# or VB.NET code for the application.

5
WPF Designer

The WPF designer, codenamed Cider,[30] was introduced with

Visual Studio 2008. Like the Windows Forms designer it
supports the drag and drop metaphor. It is used to author user
interfaces targeting Windows Presentation Foundation. It
supports all WPF functionality including data
binding and automatic layout management. It
generates XAML code for the UI. The generated XAML file is
compatible with Microsoft Expression Design, the designer-
oriented product. The XAML code is linked with code using
a code-behind model.

Web designer/development

Visual Studio also includes a web-site editor and designer that

allows web pages to be authored by dragging and dropping
widgets. It is used for developing ASP.NET applications and
supports HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It uses a code-
behind model to link with ASP.NET code. From Visual Studio
2008 onwards, the layout engine used by the web designer is
shared with the discontinued Expression Web. There is
also ASP.NET MVC support for MVC technology as a separate
download[31] and ASP.NET Dynamic Data project available from
Microsoft.[32]

Class designer

The Class Designer is used to author and edit the classes

(including its members and their access) using UML modeling.
The Class Designer can generate C# and VB.NET code outlines
for the classes and methods. It can also generate class
diagrams from hand-written classes.

Data designer

The data designer can be used to graphically edit database

schemas, including typed tables, primary and foreign keys and
constraints. It can also be used to design queries from the
graphical view.

6
Mapping designer

From Visual Studio 2008 onwards, the mapping designer is used

by LINQ to SQL to design the mapping between database
schemas and the classes that encapsulate the data. The new
solution from ORM approach, ADO.NET Entity Framework,
replaces and improves the old technology.

Other tools [edit]

Properties Editor

The Properties Editor tool is used to edit properties in a GUI

pane inside Visual Studio. It lists all available properties (both
read-only and those which can be set) for all objects
including classes, forms, web pages and other items.

Object Browser

The Object Browser is a namespace and class library browser

for Microsoft .NET. It can be used to browse the namespaces
(which are arranged hierarchically) in managed assemblies. The
hierarchy may or may not reflect the organization in the file
system.

Solution Explorer

In Visual Studio parlance, a solution is a set of code files and

other resources that are used to build an application. The files
in a solution are arranged hierarchically, which might or might
not reflect the organization in the file system. The Solution
Explorer is used to manage and browse the files in a solution.

Team Explorer

Team Explorer is used to integrate the capabilities of Azure

DevOps (either Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server)
into the IDE . In addition to version control integration it
provides the ability to view and manage individual work items
(including user stories, bugs, tasks and other documents). It is

7
included as part of a Visual Studio installation and is also
available as a standalone download.[33][34]

Data Explorer

Data Explorer is used to manage databases on Microsoft SQL

Server instances. It allows creation and alteration of database
tables (either by issuing T-SQL commands or by using the Data
designer). It can also be used to create queries and stored
procedures, with the latter in either T-SQL or in managed
code via SQL CLR. Debugging and IntelliSense support is
available as well.

Server Explorer
The Server Explorer tool is used to manage database connections on an accessible
computer. It is also used to browse running Windows Services, performance
counters, Windows Event Log and message queues and use them as a datasource.
[35]

Dotfuscator Community Edition

Visual Studio includes a free 'light' version of Dotfuscator[36]
Text Generation Framework
Visual Studio includes a full text generation framework called T4 which
enables Visual Studio to generate text files from templates either in the IDE or
via code.
ASP.NET Web Site Administration
Tool
The ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool allows for the configuration
of ASP.NET websites.
Visual Studio Tools for Office
Visual Studio Tools for Office is a SDK and an add-in for Visual Studio that
includes tools for developing for the Microsoft Office suite. Previously (for
Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005) it was a separate SKU that
supported only Visual C# and Visual Basic languages or was included in the
Team Suite. With Visual Studio 2008, it is no longer a separate SKU but is
included with Professional and higher editions. A separate runtime is required
when deploying VSTO solutions.
Testing tools
[edit]
Microsoft Visual Studio can
write high-quality code with
comprehensive testing tools to
aid in the development of
applications. These tools
include:[37]

8
Unit testing, IntelliTest, Live
Unit Testing, Test Explorer,
CodeLens test indicators, code
coverage analysis, Fakes.[37]

Extensibility
[edit]
See also: List of Microsoft
Visual Studio add-ins
Visual Studio allows
developers to write extensions
for Visual Studio to extend its
capabilities. These extensions
"plug into" Visual Studio and
extend its functionality.
Extensions come in the form
of macros, add-ins,
and packages. Macros
represent repeatable tasks and
actions that developers can
record programmatically for
saving, replaying, and
distributing. Macros, however,
cannot implement new
commands or create tool
windows. They are written
using Visual Basic and are not
compiled.[12] Add-Ins provide
access to the Visual Studio
object model and can interact
with the IDE tools. Add-Ins can
be used to implement new
functionality and can add new
tool windows. Add-Ins are
plugged into the IDE
via COM and can be created in
any COM-compliant
languages.[12] Packages are
created using the Visual
Studio SDK and provide the
highest level of extensibility.
They can create designers and
other tools, as well as integrate
other programming languages.
The Visual Studio SDK
provides unmanaged APIs as
well as a managed API to
accomplish these tasks.
However, the managed API
isn't as comprehensive as the

9
unmanaged one.[12] Extensions
are supported in the Standard
(and higher) versions of Visual
Studio 2005. Express
Editions do not support hosting
extensions.

Visual Studio 2008 introduced

the Visual Studio Shell that
allows for development of a
customized version of the IDE.
The Visual Studio Shell
defines a set of VSPackages
that provide the functionality
required in any IDE. On top of
that, other packages can be
added to customize the
installation. The Isolated mode
of the shell creates a new
AppId where the packages are
installed. These are to be
started with a different
executable. It is aimed for
development of custom
development environments,
either for a specific language
or a specific scenario. The
Integrated mode installs the
packages into the AppId of the
Professional/Standard/Team
System editions, so that the
tools integrate into these
editions.[19] The Visual Studio
Shell is available as a free
download.

After the release of Visual

Studio 2008, Microsoft created
the Visual Studio Gallery. It
serves as the central location
for posting information about
extensions to Visual Studio.
Community developers as well
as commercial developers can
upload information about their
extensions to Visual
Studio .NET 2002 through
Visual Studio 2010. Users of
the site can rate and review
the extensions to help assess
the quality of extensions being

10
 posted. An extension is stored
in a VSIX file. Internally a VSIX
file is a ZIP file that contains
some XML files, and possibly
one or more DLL's. One of the
main advantages of these
extensions is that they do not
require Administrator rights to
be installed. RSS feeds to
notify users on updates to the
site and tagging features are
also planned.[38]

Limitations
[edit]

 Does not support x64 inline

assembly[39]

Supported products
[edit]
Microsoft Visual C++
Microsoft Visual C++ is Microsoft's partial implementation of the C and full
implementation C++ compiler and associated languages-services and specific
tools for integration with the Visual Studio IDE. It can compile either in C mode
or C++ mode. For C++, as of version 15.7 it conforms to C++17.[40] The C
implementation of Visual Studio 2015 still doesn't support the full standard; in
particular, the complex number header complex.h introduced in C99 is
unsupported.
Visual C++ supports the C++/CLI specification to write managed code, as well
as mixed-mode code (a mix of native and managed code). Microsoft positions
Visual C++ for development in native code or in code that contains both native
as well as managed components. Visual C++ supports COM as well as
the MFC library. For MFC development, it provides a set of wizards for
creating and customizing MFC boilerplate code, and creating GUI applications
using MFC. Visual C++ can also use the Visual Studio forms designer to
design UI graphically. Visual C++ can also be used with the Windows API. It
also supports the use of intrinsic functions,[41] which are functions recognized
by the compiler itself and not implemented as a library. Intrinsic functions are
used to expose the SSE instruction set of modern CPUs. Visual C++ also
includes the OpenMP (version 2.0) specification.[42]
Microsoft Visual C#
Microsoft Visual C#, Microsoft's implementation of the C# language, targets
the .NET Framework, along with the language services that lets the Visual
Studio IDE support C# projects. While the language services are a part of
Visual Studio, the compiler is available separately as a part of the .NET
Framework. The Visual C# 2008, 2010 and 2012 compilers support versions
3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 of the C# language specifications, respectively. Visual C#

11
supports the Visual Studio Class designer, Forms designer, and Data designer
among others.[43]
Microsoft Visual
Basic
Microsoft Visual Basic is Microsoft's implementation of the VB.NET language
and associated tools and language services. It was introduced with Visual
Studio .NET (2002). Microsoft has positioned Visual Basic for Rapid
Application Development.[44][45] Visual Basic can be used to author both console
applications as well as GUI applications. Like Visual C#, Visual Basic also
supports the Visual Studio Class designer, Forms designer, and Data designer
among others. Like C#, the VB.NET compiler is also available as a part
of .NET Framework, but the language services that let VB.NET projects be
developed with Visual Studio, are available as a part of the latter.
Microsoft
Visual Web
Developer
Microsoft Visual Web Developer is used to create web sites, web
applications and web services using ASP.NET.
Either C# or VB.NET languages can be used. Visual Web Developer can use
the Visual Studio Web Designer to graphically design web page layouts.
Azure
DevOps
Azure DevOps is intended for collaborative software development projects and
provides version control, work planning and tracking, data collection,
and reporting. It also includes the Team Explorer which is integrated inside
Visual Studio. On September 10, 2018, Microsoft announced a rebranding of
Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to Azure DevOps Services and Team
Foundation Server (TFS) to Azure DevOps Server.[46]

[edit]
Visual
FoxPro
Visual FoxPro is a data-centric object-oriented and procedural programming
language produced by Microsoft. It derives from FoxPro (originally known
as FoxBASE) which was developed by Fox Software beginning in 1984.
Visual FoxPro is tightly integrated with its own relational database engine,
which extends FoxPro's xBase capabilities to support SQL queries and data
manipulation. Visual FoxPro is a full-featured,[47] dynamic programming
language that does not require the use of an additional general-purpose
programming environment. In 2007, Visual FoxPro was discontinued after
version 9 Service Pack 2. It was supported until 2015.[48]

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is a source control software package oriented
towards small software-development projects. The SourceSafe database is a
multi-user, multi-process file-system database, using the Windows file system
database primitives to provide locking and sharing support. All versions are
multi-user, using SMB (file server) networking.[49][50][51] However, with Visual
SourceSafe 2005, other client–server modes were added, Lan Booster and
VSS Internet (which used HTTP/HTTPS). Visual SourceSafe 6.0 was available
as a stand-alone product[52] and was included with Visual Studio 6.0, and other
products such as Office Developer Edition. Visual SourceSafe 2005 was
available as a stand-alone product and included with the 2005 Team
Suite. Azure DevOps has superseded VSS as Microsoft's recommended
platform for source control.

Microsoft Visual J++ was Microsoft's implementation of the Java language
(with Microsoft-specific extensions) and associated language services. It was
discontinued as a result of litigation from Sun Microsystems, and the
technology was recycled into Visual J#, Microsoft's Java compiler for .NET
Framework. J# was available with Visual Studio 2005 (supported until 2015)
but was discontinued in Visual Studio 2008.
