Also, making Visual Studio more accessible delivers better usability for everyone – the next version of Visual Studio will include: Overall, we aim to reduce complexity and decrease the cognitive load so that you can focus and stay in the zone. Some of the changes are subtle cosmetic touches that modernize the UI or reduce crowding. We’re refreshing the user interface to better keep you in your flow. We’re also working on making every part of your workflow faster and more efficient, from loading solutions to F5 debugging. Here’s to no more out-of-memory exceptions. I find it really satisfying to watch this video of Visual Studio scaling up to use the additional memory that’s available to a 64-bit process as it opens a solution with 1,600 projects and ~ 300k files. Visual Studio will continue to be a great tool for building 32-bit apps. While Visual Studio is going 64-bit, this doesn’t change the types or bitness of the applications you build with Visual Studio.
With a 64-bit Visual Studio on Windows, you can open, edit, run, and debug even the biggest and most complex solutions without running out of memory. Visual Studio 2022 will be a 64-bit application, no longer limited to ~4gb of memory in the main devenv.exe process. We’re making it easier to collaborate with better GitHub integration making it seamless to go from idea to code to the cloud. It’s become apparent over the last year that organizations need their development teams to collaborate securely, deliver solutions more quickly, and continuously improve their end-user satisfaction and value. The user experience will feel cleaner, intelligent, and action oriented.ĭevelopment teams have become more geographically dispersed than ever. For the first time ever, Visual Studio will be 64-bit. The next major release of Visual Studio will be faster, more approachable, and more lightweight, designed for both learners and those building industrial scale solutions. I have exciting news-the first public preview of Visual Studio 2022 will be released this summer. All of our product development begins and ends with you-whether you posted on Developer Community, filled out a survey, sent us feedback, or took part in a customer study, thank you for helping to continue to steer the product roadmap for Visual Studio.
