What is Visual Studio?

  • आलेख

Visual Studio is a powerful developer tool that you can use to complete the entire development cycle in one place. It's a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that you can use to write, edit, debug, and build code. Then deploy your app. Visual Studio includes compilers, code completion tools, source control, extensions, and many other features to enhance every stage of the software development process.

Diagram shows the software development cycle, with Visual Studio addressing each part of the process.

With the variety of features and languages support in Visual Studio, you can grow from writing your first "Hello World" program to developing and deploying apps. For example, build, debug, and test .NET and C++ apps, edit ASP.NET pages in the web designer view, develop cross-platform mobile and desktop apps with .NET, or build responsive Web UIs in C#.

Why use Visual Studio?

Visual Studio provides developers a feature rich development environment to develop high-quality code efficiently and collaboratively.

  • Workload-based installer - install only what you need
  • Powerful coding tools and features - everything you need to build your apps in one place
  • Multiple language support - code in C++, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and more
  • Cross-platform development - build apps for any platform
  • Version control integration - collaborate on code with team mates
  • AI-assisted development - write code more efficiently with AI assistance

Discover Visual Studio

Visual Studio supports different parts of the software development cycle.

Develop your code

Visual Studio IDE provides many features that make it easier for you to write and manage your code with confidence. For example, code quickly and accurately with AI-assisted development tools. These tools include GitHub Copilot and IntelliCode. Make quick improvements to your code using light bulbs that suggest actions, or expand/collapse blocks of code using outlining. Organize and explore your code with the Solution Explorer that shows your code organized by files or the Class View that shows your code organized by classes.

AI-assisted development

GitHub Copilot, GitHub Copilot Chat, and IntelliCode assist developers in writing code faster and with greater accuracy, help develop a deeper understanding of the codebase, and help with other development tasks such as writing unit tests, debugging, and profiling.

Build your app

You can compile and build your applications to create builds immediately and test them in a debugger. You can run multi-processor builds for C++ and C# projects. Visual Studio also provides several options that you can configure when you build applications. You can create a custom build configuration in addition to the built-in configurations, hide certain warning messages, or increase build output information.

Debug your code

Integrated debugging in Visual Studio enables you to debug, profile, and diagnose with ease. You step through your code and look at the values stored in variables, set watches on variables to see when values changes, examine the execution path of your code. Visual Studio offers other ways to debug your code while it runs.

Test your code

You can write high-quality code with comprehensive testing tools in Visual Studio. Unit tests give developers and testers a quick way to find logic errors in code. You can analyze how much code you're testing and see instant results in a test suite. Know the impact of every change you make with advanced features that test code while you type.

Version control

With the integrated Git features in Visual Studio, you can clone, create, or open your own repositories. The Git tool window has everything you need to commit and push changes, manage branches, and resolve merge conflicts. If you have a GitHub account, you can manage those repos directly within Visual Studio.

Collaborate with others

Visual Studio Live Share enables real-time collaborative development. With Live Share you can share your project with your peers, no matter the language or platform. Get to the bottom of an issue fast by allowing your team to connect, navigate, set break points, and type in your editor session.

Deploy your app

By deploying an application, service, or component, you distribute it for installation on other computers, devices, or servers, or in the cloud. You can choose the appropriate method in Visual Studio for the type of deployment that you need. Share your apps and code by publishing to the web or Azure, or by deploying to a network share or a local folder.

Choose your Visual Studio edition

There are three editions of Visual Studio:

  • Community - free, fully featured IDE for students, open-source developers, and individual developers.
  • Professional - a subscription based option for individual developers or small teams.
  • Enterprise - a subscription based option for small to large business and enterprise organizations.
