VS is the abbreviation of Visual Studio, which is an integrated development environment (IDE) introduced by Microsoft.

VS provides compilers in multiple languages and the option of writing code directly, such as C#, C++, VB.NET, etc. , which is convenient for developers to develop Windows applications, Web applications and cloud services.

1. Function introduction

VS contains many tools and components, such as code editor, debugger, compiler and visual designer. Provide a development experience covering the whole life cycle, from project creation, code writing, testing, deployment to maintenance, all of which can be completed here. Support collaborative development, many people can develop the same project at the same time.

2. Supported languages

C#: An object-oriented programming language that supports. NET framework, easy to use. C++: A high-performance programming language supporting multiple operating systems and platforms. VB。 NET:'s subsequent version: Microsoft Visual Basic is easier to learn than C#. F#: functional programming language, supported. NET and Mono runtime.

3. Debugging function

Support multiple types of breakpoints (such as conditional breakpoints, data breakpoints and time breakpoints). Support multi-thread debugging, remote debugging, memory snapshot viewing and other functions. IntelliTrace can record the complete application state and allow backtracking during debugging.

4. Expansibility

Support plug-in expansion, which can meet different development needs. Support to customize, install and manage extensions by using the extension solution hosted by Visual Studio. The community provides a large number of third-party extensions, such as plug-ins, themes, code snippets and so on.

In a word, VS is an "out-of-the-box" tool, which provides a perfect development environment and rich functions for developers to complete development tasks more efficiently.

5. Cloud service support

You can use Azure SDK for. NET directly integrates with Azure cloud service. Support automatic deployment, cloud storage, advanced analysis and other functions. You can use the Azure DevOps service to manage work items, build and publish processes.

6. Front-end development support support

Web front-end development can use a variety of front-end frameworks (such as React, Angular, Vue). The built-in TypeScript compiler can edit and debug TypeScript code. Support the development of mobile applications, and you can use Xamarin to create native Android and iOS applications.
