Visual Studio 2022 now available
Millions of developers from app development teams of all sizes rely on Visual Studio products to make their software. New Media Aid's app developers have used all versions of Visual Studio since the year 2000. Visual Studio 2022 is the best comprehensive IDE for .NET developers, it is fully packed with a large array of tools and features to elevate and enhance every stage of software development. Offending Visual Studio is like offending our mother!

Visual Studio 2022 has IntelliCode. It’s an AI-assisted code companion that enables you to type less and code more. What this means is IntelliCode can now complete whole lines of code for you, allowing you to write dependable code in just two taps of the tab key. IntelliCode can also spot repeated edits and suggest fixes throughout your codebase where there are similar patterns.

Once our app engineering team have made those changes and have your app running, Hot Reload for .NET and C++ gives our app engineers the opportunity to update their code and see changes immediately. What’s more, our app developers won’t need to redeploy and launch the application. And there are hundreds of other things under the hood that will help New Media Aid's app engineers. Some of the others include improvements in the debugger and .NET language service as well as new features, like Web Live Preview and cross-platform testing on Linux.

Visual Studio 2022 is the IDE for every developer, from apps built with Windows Forms and Win32, to Blazor, to cloud-native applications based on containers, to applications that use machine learning.

Faster and more reliable 64-bit IDE. Comes with .NET 6 including support for MAUI, Blazor apps, and Hot reload. Enhanced IntelliCode completions. Latest toolchain to target C++20.

Build modern apps
Visual Studio 2022 makes it quick and easy to build modern, cloud-based applications with Azure. As well, our new version also has full support for .NET 6 and its unified framework for web, client, and mobile apps for both Windows and Mac developers. And, Visual Studio 2022 includes robust support for the C++ workload with new productivity features, C++20 tooling, and IntelliSense.

Better dev tools for C++ and .NET, and Hot Reload
Visual Studio 2022 includes better cross-platform app development tools and the latest version of C++ build tools, to include C++20 support. They have updated Hot Reload so that our web app developers can edit .NET projects while your application is running.

Updates for Blazor & Razor editors + Hot Reload for ASP.NET
Visual Studio 2022 includes a big update for the Blazor and Razor editors, and new capabilities for Hot Reload in ASP.NET Core—including Hot Reload when you save a file or when you apply changes to CSS files live!

Multi-repo support with Git in the IDE
In Visual Studio 2022, our app developers can work with a single solution that has projects in multiple Git repositories and contribute to them all from a single instance of Visual Studio.

IntelliCode improvements
The IntelliCode feature can now automatically complete code up to a whole line at a time and can now spot when our app engineers are performing a common task and recommend the right Quick Action, completing it right as our app developer is typing! Less time coding equals less cost for you, the customer, when asking New Media Aid to develop a bespoke application for your organisation.
