How to Use Visual Studio Like a Pro When Presenting Your Code

Visual Studio is great to write code and create something amazing, but sometimes, you may want to use it for a different purpose: presenting your code to an audience. Whether you are giving a demo, a workshop, a lecture, or a webinar, you want to make sure that your audience can see and understand your code clearly. That's where Presentation Mode comes in.

Presentation Mode is a feature that lets you open an instance of Visual Studio that looks like a fresh install, without any customizations, extensions, or settings synchronization. This way, you can avoid any distractions or confusion that may arise from your personal preferences or environment. You can then adjust any settings that are relevant for your presentation, such as font sizes, themes, window layouts, and keyboard shortcuts. These settings will be preserved for the next time you use Presentation Mode.

How to Enter Presentation Mode

There are two ways of entering Presentation Mode in Visual Studio: with an extension or from command prompt without extensions.

With the extension

The easy way is to install the Tweaks extension and open any solution, project, or file in Visual Studio. Now you can right-click the Visual Studio icon in the Windows task bar and select Presentation Mode .

This will launch a new instance of Visual Studio with the default settings and no extensions (other than machine-wide ones). You can then open your solution or project and start presenting.

From Command Prompt

You can do the same thing yourself if you don't want to install the extension. Open the Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell and execute the following line:

This will launch a new instance of Visual Studio with the root suffix PresentationMode. You can swap the word PresentationMode with whatever other word you want to create yet another isolated instance type. This can be helpful for scenarios where you need different settings based on the kind of project you are working on. For instance, you might prefer specific extensions and window layouts only for web development. This allows you to have that versatility.

How to Customize Presentation Mode

Once you have entered Presentation Mode, you can customize any settings to configure Visual Studio for your presentation style. Here are some common settings that you may want to change:

• Font sizes : You can change the font sizes for the Text Editor, Environment, Tooltips, Statement Completion, and more from Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors . A good rule of thumb is to use at least 18 points for the Text Editor and 12 points for the Environment.
• Theme : You can change the theme from Tools > Options > Environment > General . You may want to choose a theme that matches your presentation slides or has good contrast for your audience.
• Window layout : You can change the window layout from Window > Reset Window Layout . You may want to minimize or close any tool windows that are not relevant for your presentation, such as Solution Explorer, Output, Error List, etc. You can also use Window > Auto Hide All to hide all tool windows until you hover over them.
• Keyboard shortcuts : You can change the keyboard shortcuts from Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard . You may want to use the default keyboard shortcuts or choose a scheme that matches your audience's expectations.

These settings will be saved for the next time you use Presentation Mode. If you want to reset them to the default values, you can use Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings ¹.

How to Exit Presentation Mode

To exit Presentation Mode, simply close the instance of Visual Studio that you used for presenting. This will not affect your normal instance of Visual Studio or any other instances with different root suffixes.

Presentation Mode is a handy feature that lets you use Visual Studio in a clean and distraction-free way for presenting your code to an audience. It allows you to customize any settings that are relevant for your presentation style, such as font sizes, theme, window layout, and keyboard shortcuts. These settings will be preserved for the next time you use Presentation Mode. To enter Presentation Mode, you can either use the Tweaks extension or the Developer Command Prompt or PowerShell. To exit Presentation Mode, simply close the instance of Visual Studio that you used for presenting. I hope this article has helped you learn how to use Visual Studio in Presentation Mode and how to make your code presentations more effective and engaging.

Top Free Extensions for Visual Studio 2022

• By David Ramel

With Visual Studio 2022 having debuted just one month ago, there are now dozens of new extensions available specifically targeting the revolutionary 64-bit IDE.

Out of 35 extensions described as being "for Visual Studio 2022" in the Visual Studio Marketplace, 31 are free, three come with free trials, and only one is "paid" only.

Since we're cheap, here's a quick look at the top five free tools, ranked by the number of installations:

SonarLint for Visual Studio 2022 As its name bespeaks, this is a linting tool, coming from SonarSource. It leads the "free" pack with 11,679 installs as of this writing.

"SonarLint is a Free and Open Source IDE extension that identifies and helps you fix Code Quality and Code Security issues as you code," the item's description reads. "Analogous to a spell checker, SonarLint squiggles flaws and provides real-time feedback and clear remediation guidance so you can deliver clean code from the get-go."

It provides the following features that the company claims make it more than your average linting tool:

• Scans code written in C#, VB.NET, C, C++, Javascript, TypeScript.
• Open source JavaScript, TypeScript, C# & VB.NET code analyzers.
• C and C++ support for Application, Dynamic Library and Static Library types of MSBuild (.vcxproj) projects
• Deep code analysis algorithms using pattern matching and dataflow analysis
• Hundreds of language-specific static code analysis rules, and growing
• In-context help and remediation guidance with detailed examples
• Highlights issues in your code, tells you why they are harmful, and how they should be fixed

Note that with VS 2022 being only a month old, some of the associated material around the extension hasn't yet been updated. For example, the screenshot above shows the tool targets VS 2022 Release Candidate 2. Also, the marketplace item links to the project's GitHub repo , which as of this writing still says: "SonarLint is a Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 extension ...."

Three reviewers awarded it a score of 3 on a 0-5 scale. All three reported problems with using the tool in VS 2022, and SonarSource responded to all three, creating trouble tickets and promising further investigation.

SpecFlow for Visual Studio 2022 Coming from SpecFlow Team, this is a targeted tool with specific functionality: work with SpecFlow projects and Gherkin (programming language) feature files. SpecFlow , from Tricentis, is described a free and open source Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework for enhancing automated tests on .NET.

And here's how Tricentis describes BDD:

Behavior-driven development is a testing practice that follows the idea of specification by example (e.g., Test-Driven Development [TDD]). The idea is to describe how the application should behave in a very simple user/business-focused language. BDD's business-focused perspective on application behavior allows teams to create living documentation that is easy to maintain and can be consumed by all team members, including testers, developers, and product owners.

"SpecFlow bridges the communication gap between domain experts and developers by binding business readable behavior specifications and examples to the underlying implementation," says the marketplace item's description . "Our mission is to provide a pragmatic and frictionless approach to Specification-By-Example for .NET projects. SpecFlow is open source and provided under a BSD license."

The tool's GitHub repo explains it works with all three VS 2022 editions and also the old .NET Framework (with earlier versions of SpecFlow) as well as .NET Core, which became just .NET 5, .NET 6 and so on.

Note that, as with SonarLint above, some of the extension's associated material hasn't been updated. While the installation documentation now includes VS 2022-specific guidance, the included video features VS 2019. That's a minor point, as the functionality is probably the same, but it serves as a reminder that some documentation and supporting material for your favorite tools may not have been updated yet.

At this time, only two reviewers have graded the tool, both awarding a perfect 5 score. "I've been using specflow for VS 2017 and VS 2019. Great to see it come to VS2022 in the preview. Works a treat," said one. The extension has been installed 5,807 times as of this writing.

VisualSVN for Visual Studio 2022 Note that while this extension from VisualSVN Software is free under a Community License, that license allows use only on computers that are not part of an Active Directory domain. "Community License permits commercial use and is ideal for freelancers, students and hobbyists," says the marketplace description .

As far as functionality, the tool integrates into Visual Studio the Subversion version control system, which is used to track changes made to projects -- files and folders -- in order to facilitate the recovery of data while also tracking the history of changes that have been made over time.

Specifically, its description says "VisualSVN is a Visual Studio plug-in that integrates Subversion (SVN) and TortoiseSVN seamlessly with Visual Studio. VisualSVN virtually eliminates the management of your project source code files within Subversion. Program, design, debug and deploy with VisualSVN as your silent partner that safeguards your source code."

Unique features are said to include:

• Quick Diff marks changes visually within Visual Studio using color coding. You can see the changes in your source file from the repository version at a glance. There is fast navigation available to move to the next changed section. You never have to open a separate “diff” window to see what you have changed. And you don't have to hunt for changes.
• Quick Revert uses the Quick Diff color coding to allow you to easily restore changes that have been made from the repository version. Just select the changes that are displayed by Quick Diff and perform “Revert Selection”. Quick Revert is fully integrated with the Visual Studio Undo/Redo stack.
• Track and manage all changes made to your source file by using the unique visual assists that are provided by VisualSVN. You are free to use external applications and you will always see exactly what has changed. Never make a “dirty commit” again.
• Seamless integration with built-in and third-party refactoring tools such as ReSharper. Source code changes and file operations such as renaming are handled for you and are reflected transparently to Subversion by VisualSVN. Even changes in more complex objects such as forms and ASPX pages are handled transparently by VisualSVN and are accurately reflected to Subversion.
• Handy VisualSVN toolbar provides clean, direct access to the most important commands and features of Subversion. We even provide a combo box containing the URL of the current Subversion branch, and you can use it to quickly change between branches.

The extension, which has been installed 5,760 times and was last updated yesterday, has so far been reviewed by only one developer, who awarded it a perfect 5 score and commented: "Thanks for VS2022 support! Just installed on VS 2022pro Preview4 and basic functions seems to work. Now I can start using/testing VS2022 full time!"

.NET MAUI Project and Item Templates Published by Vijay Anand E G, this extension is still in the preview stage, with no reviews/ratings yet, though it has been installed 5,206 times. It offers .NET MAUI project and item templates, along with code snippets for VS 2022.

.NET MAUI, as regular readers of Visual Studio Magazine know, is the new Xamarin.Forms, described as an "evolution" of Microsoft's traditional mobile development framework because it adds support for creating desktop apps as well as iOS and Android apps. Standing for .NET Multi-platform App UI, it was supposed to ship with .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022 last month, but slipped the schedule .

Project templates coming with the extension include:

• .NET MAUI App (Preview 10)
• .NET MAUI App (C#) (Preview 10)
• .NET MAUI Blazor App (Preview 10)
• .NET MAUI Class Library (Preview 10)

A variety of Item templates, meanwhile, range from Content Pages and Views for .NET MAUI and C# to a Resource Directory, Shell Page and more.

Publisher Vijay Anand E G also pens a Developer Thoughts blog focusing on .NET MAUI, where the most recent post is a multi-part examination of .NET MAUI and Blazor.

Qt Visual Studio Tools "Qt Visual Studio Tools integrate the Qt development tools into Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. This enables developers to use the standard Windows development environment without having to worry about Qt-related build steps or tools," says the marketplace description .

The extension comes from The Qt Company, known for its widgets used to great GUIs and cross-platform capabilities, running on major desktop and mobile OSes including embedded. Qt is written in C++ and supports the GCC C++ compiler, although it also supports others, including Visual Studio and PHP, Wikipedia says .

Even though the company has its own IDE, it offers extensions for Visual Studio versions going all the way back to VS 2013, along with VS 2022.

The extension's main features are listed as:

• Wizards for creating new Qt projects and classes.
• Automated build setup for the Meta-Object Compiler (moc) , User Interface Compiler (uic) , and Resource Compiler (rcc).
• Import and export of Qt project files (.pro) and project include files (.pri).
• Automated conversion of a Qt VS Tools project to a qmake project, or the other way around.
• Integrated Qt resource management.
• Integrated Qt documentation.
• Debugging extensions for Qt data types.

It comes with a detailed Qt VS Tools Manual that covers installation, designing the Main Window, adding widgets, dialogs, working with the List Widget and more.

The tool has been installed 4,889 times, with no reviewers.

Installing and using ReportViewer in Visual Studio 2022 Windows Forms

I have tied several times to install the report designer and report viewer into studio 2022. The install for the report designer worked fine. I can create wizard and do-it-yourself .rdlc reports.

I'm totally new to this. All of the online tutorials about using the report tools start with 'drag a report viewer into a form and start configuring it.'

Installing the report viewer to the toolbox is from the nuget package and then the dll from browsing the project folder for the dll. Unfortunately when I added the report viewer to the form from the toolbox, the report viewer drops below the form and will not let me configure it as in all the tutorials.

I have tried the report viewer 2010, version 11, version 12, and version 15 packages including the one that said it fixed a problem with the package not installing all the needed dlls.

According to the tutorials there should be a smart tag. This does not happen, and I cannot see any properties i can link to the report. I've tried linking the reportviewer to the rdlc by putting it into the localreport ReportEmbeddedResource property but nothing shows when you run the code.

Have I not set this up correctly, or is the tool not working?

• Install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022 VS extention, and then install Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms NuGet package. –  Reza Aghaei Commented Jan 17, 2023 at 21:18

You need to install the followings:

• Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022 VS extension which adds required project, item templates and designers to VS.
• Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms NuGet package which adds the report viewer control to the toolbox.

Note 1: this answer is targeting .NET Framework projects. If you want ReportViewr for .NET 5+ , or .NET Core 3.1+ you may want to use ReportViewer Core

Note 2: You may find some useful information in Add the Report Viewer control to a new Windows Forms project docs article as well.

Note 3: There is an extension Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022 which is for creating Report .rptproj projects which is for Reporting Service Reports (RDL); It doesn't add the RDLC report template or Report Application project template, or RDLC report designer.

Visual Studio 2022 - RDLC reports and ReportViewer in Windows Forms

Here is a step by step example:

Install Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022 , and restart VS.

Create a new Windows Forms .NET Framework project.

Install the Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.Winforms NuGet package, which will add ReportViewer to the toolbox of your project.

Note: Optional - You may want to install Microsoft.SqlServer.Types as well to get rid of a warning which complains about version of the library.

Add the following class to your project:

Rebuild the solution (project).

Add New Item > Report (You can search or find it under C# items), and lets call it Report1.rdlc.

Then open the report in design mode (double click). Then Report Data window > New > DataSet

Note: The shortcut key for the window is Ctrl + Alt + D, if it's not open.

In the DataSet Properties window, click on New ... in front of DataSource dropdown, and choose Object Data Source , follow the wizard and choose the Product class and the data source and complete the wizard. Make sure the data source and product class are selected, and then close the new data source window.

Note: If you forgot to build the project after creating Product class, the class doesn't appear in the list of classes for data source.

Open ToolBox > Drop an instance of Table on the report, hover the mouse over the first cell of the second row and click on DB Icon to bind it to Id column, and do the same on second cell of the second row to bind it to Name column. Then save the report:

Open the form in design mode, and from ToolBox, drop an instance of Report Viewer on the form. You can find it on top or the toolbox under Microsoft Sql Server category.

Click on the smart tag (the arrow), and choose Report:

Click on the Choose Data Source , and in the window, choose Product. It will add a productBindingSource to your form:

Double click on form and add the following code:

Run the project and see the result:

• The bit that is missing in your answer which appears to be the crucial step is to install the Microsoft extension "Microsoft Reporting Services Projects.". I followed the step by step guide from Abdulkarim M. Jamal Kanaan here youtube.com/watch?v=S1XnkKPwwD4 and it worked. Thank you both for your input. –  kevin rowe Commented Jan 18, 2023 at 13:02
• Thanks, I added a Note 3 to the answer. "Microsoft Reporting Services Projects" is for RDL files, not RDLC, and it's useful for Report Server Projects, now Windows Applications. It may do the trick but the other extension that I mentioned is more accurate "Microsoft RDLC Report Designer 2022". For your ReportViewer issue, they both may help, however none, is related to the ReportViewer design-time support. –  Reza Aghaei Commented Jan 18, 2023 at 16:23
• I tried to explain the differences and roles of the extensions and packages here . –  Reza Aghaei Commented Jan 18, 2023 at 23:40

12 Amazing Visual Studio 2022 Extensions That Will Boost Your Productivity

Published on sun 5 june, 2022.

• Productivity

In this tutorial, you will learn about a bunch of killer extensions that will turbo-charge your development workflow within Visual Studio 2022. One of the most powerful aspects of Visual Studio is the marketplace . Without looking too hard, you can find a bucketload of amazing extensions that will add all sorts of additional capabilities to this already powerful IDE.

The problem with having access to a bucketload of extensions is knowing which ones are worth installing and which ones will just add bloat to your system and this is where this guide comes to the rescue. This guide is not one of these sales guides, trying to entice you to buy some product. I am a developer with around 20 years of experience ( 👴🏻👴🏼👴🏽👴🏾👴🏿 ). Contained within this digital page is a list of extensions that I personally use and which have helped me craft better code 🖼️ 🖼️ 🖼️

These extensions will not only make Visual Studio look better, but they will also help you to write code faster. The best news is that 90% of these extensions are completely free, so you won't need to spend a dime. If you want to learn how to trick out Visual Studio and make it a lot more usable and aesthetically pleasing, this is the page for you 🔥🔥🔥

Theme And UI Extensions

New to Visual Studio 2022 is the ability to install pre-made themes. The selection of themes for Visual Studio is nowhere as extensive as it is for VS-Code, however, there are still some great options out there. Currently, my favourite theme is Darcula , which looks like this:

Darcula also works really nicely with the next extension 😊. If you are not really feeling Darcula, an alternative is another VS-Code port called WinterIsComing !

Claudia IDE : Another handy theming based extension is Claudia IDE. This extension will allow you to apply a custom background image to the Visual Studio text editor:

Claudia IDE also provides some useful customisations to the Visual Studio editor's background. You can configure the image to stretch over the whole IDE including side panels and the footer. You can set opacity levels and specify exactly how you want to position the background image.

📁 Download Here

If you want to access the wallpaper I use, you can download it from this article 50 minimal Desktop Images

FileIcons : This extension will install and register 692 icons for various file types. When the extension encounters a file type it knows about, the appropriate icon will automatically be displayed. Having specific visual icons not only makes the editor look better, but it will also help you more quickly find files within your solution. By default, if Visual Studio does not have an icon map it will display a little white icon. I find that subconsciously having an indication about the file type, improves my navigation within explorer.

Rainbow Indent : This extension does what it says on the tin. Rainbow Indent will make it easier for you to quickly scan your code and understand its structure. For each indent within a class, a different colour will be displayed. Being able to visually differentiate between indents makes it easier to spot where that closing bracket is, or, where the method ends and the class begins. Rainbow Indent will make it easier to match namespaces, classes, braces, parenthesis, etc... Remeber, the devil is within the detail 👺

Output Enhancer : The output enhancer extension will add a dash of colour to your build output window. This extension will add some classic traffic light colouring to your build output. Red, yellow and green highlighting for errors, warnings and successes. When your build fails, it is much easier to spot the reason why when this plug-in is enabled!

Productivty Improvement Extensions

These next set of extensions will help you to work within Visual Studio more optimally. The extensions within this section will enable some handy and time-saving shortcuts:

Show Inline Errors : This extension displays compiler errors, warnings and other messages within the text editor. Build warnings and errors will automagically appear at the end of the line that violated the rule. No one looking at the build output window to try and marry up the error to the line. Get a visual indication in real-time as you type.

Since installing this extension, I have found that it has helped force me into writing better code. I have now gotten into the habit of fixing warnings as I code, instead of ignoring them and fixing them in bulk later on. As the line warning is so annoying, I find it easier to fix the code as I go so I do not have to put up with some massive ugly on-screen warning 😭

ToggleComment : This extension emulates the VS-Code shortcut to comment/uncomment code using a single key combination. Once installed you can use the Ctrl and / key combination to add/remove a comment. It would be possible to map these keys within Visual Studio without this extension, however, I find this extension makes the set-up much quicker and easier!

Visual Studio Spell Checker : This is the best spell checker for Visual Studio. There is probably not too much to say about this one. It's a spell checker, click CTRL + . on a flagged error to get a list of suggested fixes. 💥

SelectNextOccurrence For Visual Studio 2022 : Another extension that emulates useful VS-Code functionalities. This extension powers up your text manipulation abilities by adding the ability to create multiple cursors as well as select the next occurrence of some highlighted text using the keyboard. Compared to Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio 2022 has add some of this support natively, so this extension is less useful than it used to be. There are still a few features that SelectNextOccurrence provides that VS 2022 does not support so I still get value from it.

ColorPreview : Display a preview swatch whenever a hex colour is defined within any CSS file:

WakaTime : WakaTime is a free productivity tool that will provide you with analytics and insights about your Visual Studio usage. To get started with Wakatime, all you need to do is register with the website, get an API key, install the extension within Visual Studio and add the API key. Once registered successfully, you will get a weekly email every Sunday that will tell you how productive you have been that week. The report details what projects you have been working on, which programming languages you have been working with and how much time you have spent coding that week! As its free, what is not to love!

CodeMaid : Codemaid is the most popular free refactoring tool for Visual Studio. After installing this extension, you will get access to a number of very useful refactoring tools to help you simplify and streamline your code.

Resharper : I have saved the best to near last. Resharper is officially the most popular extension of all time. The reason why Resharper is so well loved, is because it will help you to craft better-structured code. Resharper is a VS staple that has been around for donkey's years 🐂 🐂 so many readers will have already heard of it

Sadly Resharper is not free, however, you can get a one-month free trial to see if you like it. For reference, a ReSharper license starts at around $300 a month. As Resharper has been very well written about and documented, I will not go into details here. If you want to learn more about Resharper, I recommend reading this article that was written by a very sex developer!

AI-Powered IntelliSense

AI-based IntelliSense tools can help save you a lot of time, however, as of writing the best two potential extensions are still not 100% ready for release.

The most promising extensions are Copilot by Google and Tabnine . Copilot has Visual Studio 2022 extension, however, it is currently in beta and can not be used by everyone. Tabnine released a Visual Studio 2019 extension, however, it does not currently have a Visual Studio 2022 compatible version yet 😞.

I recommend checking if either of these plug-ins has been released while you are reading this. Both are pretty decent and both will help you craft code a lot quicker 💨💨💨

Visual Studio v17.11: Neue Features in der IDE

Dienstag, 03. september 2024.

Mit dem neuen Update auf Visual Studio 2022 v17.11 erwarten dich einige spannende Neuerungen in der IDE. Hier ein Überblick über die wichtigsten Features, die deinen Entwicklungsalltag erleichtern werden.

Effizientere Codesuche

Kennst du die Herausforderung, dass bei der Codesuche einfach zu viele Ergebnisse angezeigt werden? Mit den neuen Scoping-Optionen in der Codesuche kannst du deine Suche jetzt gezielter eingrenzen. Du kannst zum Beispiel den Suchbereich auf die gesamte Lösung, das aktuelle Projekt oder nur das aktuelle Dokument festlegen und externe Dateien optional einbeziehen. Diese Einstellungen lassen sich für verschiedene Filter individuell anpassen und bleiben auch nach dem Schließen von Visual Studio erhalten.

Vertraute Tastenkombinationen

Es kann frustrierend sein, sich bei jedem Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen IDEs neue Tastenkombinationen einprägen zu müssen. In der neuen Version von Visual Studio wurden deshalb einige Standard-Tastenkürzel angepasst, um sie an gängige Konventionen anzupassen. So kannst du Zeilenkommentare jetzt nicht nur mit Strg+K, Strg+/, sondern auch einfach mit Strg+/ ein- und ausschalten – wie du es vielleicht schon von anderen Editoren kennst. Außerdem öffnest du die Befehlspalette (Feature Search) jetzt mit Strg+Shift+P, was insbesondere für Nutzer von VS Code vertraut sein dürfte.

Keine fehlenden Komponenten mehr

Viele Teams verwenden *.vsconfig-Dateien, um die Installation von Visual Studio einheitlich zu gestalten. Visual Studio erkennt nun automatisch, wenn Komponenten oder Erweiterungen aus diesen Konfigurationsdateien fehlen, und benachrichtigt dich entsprechend. Neu ist, dass Visual Studio jetzt auch lokal oder im Netzwerk gehostete Erweiterungen erkennt und die Benachrichtigung erneut anzeigt, wenn sich die *.vsconfig-Datei ändert.

Verbesserte Authentifizierung

Die Authentifizierung in Visual Studio wurde durch die Integration des Web Account Managers (WAM) optimiert. Das bedeutet für dich weniger Anmeldeaufforderungen, die Möglichkeit, bestehende Windows-Konten zu nutzen, und eine verbesserte Sicherheit deiner Anmeldedaten. Zudem unterstützt Visual Studio nun moderne Sicherheitsfunktionen wie Windows Hello und FIDO-Schlüssel.

Neue Teams Toolkit Templates

Das Teams Toolkit bietet jetzt eine leere Teams-Vorlage, mit der du bestehende Projekte verbinden oder neue Teams-Apps erstellen kannst. Diese Vorlage dient als einfacher Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung von Teams-Anwendungen und unterstützt auch die Authentifizierung für Suchergebnisse von API Message Extensions Apps.

​​​​​​​ [Narrator] This update makes scan mode respond quicker. This is especially helpful when you use Microsoft Edge and read large documents. To use scan mode, you must turn on Narrator first (Windows logo key + Ctrl + Enter). Then, turn on scan mode by pressing Caps lock + Spacebar during a Narrator session.

[Voice access] You can now dictate the characters that you spell at a faster speed. You also have more editing options for the commands that select, delete, and move within text.

When you press Windows logo key + E, a screen reader might say a pane has focus, or the focus might not be set at all.

When you press Ctrl + F, sometimes the search does not start.

Keyboard focus sometimes might get lost when you press Shift + Tab.

Screen readers do not announce when you open or browse items that are in a breadcrumb of the Open or Save dialog.

Screen readers do not announce when you open or browse items in the column header.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5041586) - 22621.4099 and 22631.4099

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates. 

Known issues in this update

How to get this update

Before you install this update

Microsoft combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates  and  Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions .

Install this update

To install this update, use one of the following Windows and Microsoft release channels.

If you want to remove the LCU

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages .

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer ( wusa.exe ) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

File information

For a list of the files that are provided in this update, download the  file information for cumulative update 5041587 .   

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the  file information for the SSU (KB5041586) - versions 22621.4099 and 22631.4099 .

New GitHub Copilot features in Visual Studio 2022 17.11

Visual Studio 2022 17.11 now brings exciting advancements from GitHub Copilot! This release significantly improves how GitHub Copilot integrates into your development workflow, offering smarter and more intuitive coding assistance.

Discover the new GitHub Copilot features in Visual Studio, such as enhanced context understanding, improved code completions, and AI insights for debugging and naming. These updates aim to boost your productivity and efficiency in coding. To try these new features, download the update, make sure to activate your GitHub Copilot account and check out the release notes for more detailed information.

GitHub Copilot is getting smarter

GitHub Copilot Chat now enables you to reference your complete solution, which allows you to gain an even deeper, holistic understanding of your solution to get better results! To reference your solution, simply use @workspace , and Copilot will respond to high-level questions regarding your solution, files, and their interactions.

Additionally, GitHub Copilot Enterprise  users in Visual Studio can now use @GitHub to get answers enriched with context from their entire repository and Bing search results.

Naming things made easy

GitHub Copilot can now generate naming suggestions for your C++ identifiers (variables, methods, or classes) based on how your identifier is being used and the style of your code.

To try it out, you’ll need an active  GitHub Copilot subscription . Navigate to any variable you wish to rename, right-click ->  Rename  (Keyboard: Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R). You’ll notice a GitHub Copilot sparkle icon that you can click or toggle to generate naming suggestions.

AI-generated breakpoint expressions

AI-generated expressions for conditional breakpoints and tracepoints are now supported in C++ . GitHub Copilot analyzes your code and offers insightful breakpoint expressions, streamlining your debugging process.

When you place the cursor in the condition text for a conditional breakpoint/tracepoint in the breakpoint settings window, GitHub Copilot will instantly generate AI-based expression suggestions tailored to your code. You can choose the condition that best suits your needs.

Understand your symbols with GitHub Copilot

We’ve integrated GitHub Copilot into the tooltip on hover over symbols to provide AI-generated summaries of the selected symbol. This is available for both C# and C++ developers.

This feature assists developers in understanding descriptions of various symbols at different invocations within their codebase. By hovering over a symbol and selecting the ‘ Tell me more’  option, GitHub Copilot can generate documentation for the selected symbol.

Refine your GitHub Copilot suggestions

In Visual Studio 17.11, you can now refine code completions by adding context or asking questions without accepting them first. This update allows you to modify and retry GitHub Copilot’s suggestions before having to accept, saving you the hassle to accepting and refining again! Just press Alt+/ to modify, or if you’re happy with the suggestion, press tab to accept.

GitHub Copilot is even more secure

Introducing GitHub Copilot Content Exclusion, a new feature that allows admins to Copilot to ignore specific files in a repository or organization, ensuring sensitive information is protected while using AI for efficient coding. This applies to Completions, Inline, Chat, for GitHub Copilot for Business and Enterprise users. Additionally, exclusions also apply to other non-chat features, like rename suggestions and hover text. Additionally, content exclusion works with repos on platforms other than GitHub, including Azure DevOps.

We hope you enjoy this update to Visual Studio and all the new developments happening within GitHub Copilot, and we look forward to hearing what you think. You can share feedback with us by using the thumbs up or down within the Chat, via  Developer Community , by reporting issues via  report a problem  and  share your suggestions  for new features or improvements to existing ones.

Where Kamala Harris Stands on the Issues: Abortion, Immigration and More

She wants to protect the right to abortion nationally. Here’s what else to know about her positions.

• Share full article

By Maggie Astor

• Published July 21, 2024 Updated Aug. 24, 2024

With Vice President Kamala Harris having replaced President Biden on the Democratic ticket, her stances on key issues will be scrutinized by both parties and the nation’s voters.

She has a long record in politics: as district attorney of San Francisco, as attorney general of California, as a senator, as a presidential candidate and as vice president.

Here is an overview of where she stands.

Ms. Harris supports legislation that would protect the right to abortion nationally, as Roe v. Wade did before it was overturned in 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

After the Dobbs ruling, she became central to the Biden campaign’s efforts to keep the spotlight on abortion, given that Mr. Biden — with his personal discomfort with abortion and his support for restrictions earlier in his career — was a flawed messenger. In March, she made what was believed to be the first official visit to an abortion clinic by a president or vice president.

She consistently supported abortion rights during her time in the Senate, including cosponsoring legislation that would have banned common state-level restrictions, like requiring doctors to perform specific tests or have hospital admitting privileges in order to provide abortions.

As a presidential candidate in 2019, she argued that states with a history of restricting abortion rights in violation of Roe should be subject to what is known as pre-clearance for new abortion laws — those laws would have to be federally approved before they could take effect. That proposal is not viable now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe.
