Whats new in Visual Studio 2015

Single sign-in

You, like many other developers today, take advantage of multiple cloud services when developing your applications.

For example, you've probably added a cloud backend to your applications to store data, stored your source code in the cloud, or published an application to a store. In the past, each of these services required a separate sign-in process, and each service managed the signed-in user state separately.

With this release, reducing the authentication prompts required to access many integrated cloud services in Visual Studio. Now, when you authenticate to the first cloud service in Visual Studio, will automatically sign you in, or reduce the authentication prompts for other integrated cloud services.

CodeLens

In CTP 6, you can now see the history of your C++, SQL, or JavaScript files versioned in Git repositories by using CodeLens file-level indicators.

Code Maps

When you want to understand specific dependencies in your code, visualize them by creating Code Maps.

Visual Studio Emulator for Android

In CTP 6, the Visual Studio Emulator for Android now supports the following:
OpenGL ES
Android Version 5.0 (Lollipop, API Level 21)
Camera interaction using image files or your webcam
Multi-touch input

Custom Windows Layouts

This feature comes in handy if you develop on multiple devices. Say for example that you use a Surface Pro to develop on your train ride home and a 23″ monitor during the day. You can quickly switch between devices by going to Window -> Apply Window Layout and selecting one that you created earlier.

Better Code Editor

The code editor has been replaced with “Roslyn” to give you a new and improved code editing experience. Light bulbs are shown when you need to include fixes to your code or refactor it. Whenever you see a light bulb appear, then click it and it will give you suggestions based upon the code it has analyzed.

ASP.NET 5 and MIDDLEWARE

ASP.NET 5 has been largely rewritten from the ground up, and incorporates some radical changes when compared with previous versions of ASP.NET. One of the biggest changes is in the HTTP Pipeline. This article looks at how those changes impact the design and registration of plug and play components that used to be represented by HttpModules. full blog

dotNET7

Performance is a key focus of .NET 7, and all of its features are designed with performance in mind. In addition, .NET 7 includes the following enhancements aimed purely at performance: On-stack replacement (OSR) is a complement to tiered compilation. It allows the runtime to change the code executed by a currently running method in the middle of its execution (that is, while it's "on stack"). Long-running methods can switch to more optimized versions mid-execution. Profile-guided optimization (PGO) now works with OSR and is easier to enable (by adding <TieredPGO>true</TieredPGO> to your project file). PGO can also instrument and optimize additional things, such as delegates. Improved code generation for Arm64. Native AOT produces a standalone executable in the target platform's file format with no external dependencies. It's entirely native, with no IL or JIT , and provides fast startup time and a small, self-contained deployment. In .NET 7, Native...

dotNET6

FileStream The System.IO.FileStream type has been rewritten for .NET 6 to provide better performance and reliability on Windows. Now, FileStream never blocks when created for asynchronous I/O on Windows. Profile-guided optimization Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is where the JIT compiler generates optimized code in terms of the types and code paths that are most frequently used. .NET 6 introduces dynamic PGO. Dynamic PGO works hand-in-hand with tiered compilation to further optimize code based on additional instrumentation that's put in place during tier 0. Dynamic PGO is disabled by default, but you can enable it with the DOTNET_TieredPGO environment variable. Crossgen2 .NET 6 introduces Crossgen2, the successor to Crossgen, which has been removed. Crossgen and Crossgen2 are tools that provide ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to improve the startup time of an app. Crossgen2 is written in C# instead of C++, and can perform analysis and optimization that weren't possible with ...
