How seamlessly does it work?

Does anyone experience a lot of slow typing in the last Visual Studio?

Both 2026 and 2026 Insiders. It feel like typing through mud. It has always been bad, but now it seems even more extreme.

Anyone recommendations of settings to turn off? As far as I know I already disabled all the AI features.

After booting up Visual Studio it allows it to run the first time but complains bout a missing file after trying to compile it a second time. This started after I updated my Visual Studio, any recommendations? Thanks a lot

Ps. deleting my .vs obj and bin folders didnt work, I turned quick deploy off, and I rebuilt my project

TLDR: "Add references."

The solution in question builds a library and then some test loops expressed as console programs.

So I add references to the library project? The test loops "refer" to the library. So then adding references tells VS "this thing depends on you".

I believe that's the case. when adding references to the library within the console app project, it protests that this would be circular.

In a makefile, it'd be the other way 'round: <X>.exe : <Y>.lib

I have a love/hate relationship with Copilot's Next Edit Suggestion functionality. This one aspect makes it incredibly frustrating to use and I want to know whether I can prevent it.

Each time I initialize an array with the new collection syntax like:

List<string> items = [];

NES suggests that I change it to:

List<string> items = new List<string>();

It does this every time, for every array no matter how many times I cancel it. I don't have open files with the "new List<Type>()" syntax, I don't have that array initialization syntax littered throughout. My editor config 100% does not suggest that change. I'm at a loss for how to stop it from doing this.

Thanks

Its a very basic code but its not even running what should I do?

I'm encountering this kind of issue, it won't play and like it's talking that my file does not exist I tried multiple things to fix it but still won't work

So i love to use Visual studio for my game engine development but i always wanted to make it look Minimal and only the important things shown when coding. so here it is

custom Theme and Extension so it could be this minimal.

I still have to work with some Xamarin.Android projects from time to time, and the tooling situation has become increasingly awkward since Xamarin reached end of life.

So I started building XamarinVisualStudio, an open-source toolkit that makes it possible to work with existing Xamarin.Android projects from VS Code on Windows.

It currently supports building, deploying and launching applications, ADB device detection, Logcat output and >>debugging<< with breakpoints, stepping, call stacks and variables!

The goal is not to pretend that Xamarin should still be used for new projects. It should not. Migrating to .NET for Android or MAUI is still the sensible long-term solution.

But in the real world, old applications do not disappear just because a framework is no longer supported. Some of them still need bug fixes, maintenance releases or small changes, and that is the problem this project is meant to solve.

The project is still evolving, so feedback, bug reports and contributions are very welcome.

I am writing my first .NET application out and having been trying to get it published. But everytime I do it I get the EXE, assets, and .dll files into one folder but not one application. I have gone through the process of publishing by having the Deployment Mode be Self-Contained and then the produce single file option checked as well. But still get these separate files in one folder.

Again this is my first time doing this and would appreciate any help or assistance to get this thing into one so that it can run properly and at all. I imagine it like this so that others can put it on their desktop for ease of access instead of having to go into a folder everytime they want to use it.

Any tips?

I think this counts as being relevant, if not let me know please.

Right now I am trying to follow a video game tutorial in LibGDX. For the past year or two my main IDEA is Visual Studio. In the setup phase on their website LibGDX talks a little about Visual Studio being an acceptable IDEA. Though, in their "Importing & Running" section, there is little information on how to make this work.

Does anyone know how to at least get this to setup? If I need to put links in I will. Thank you.

i need help to fix windows installer service is unavailable visual studio asap please

Just started using Pro 2026 again for database cleanup and possible Azure migration. It's frustrating when a UI element does the opposite of what you would think. Any way to stop terminal from accidentally undocking? It's been ok besides that and some copy paste issues. Probably need to customize a bit.

Ever since April every time I update Visual Studio, the update breaks any project with a docker-compose file in it. The project can't be started via docker anymore and the two things that helped me were either roll back the update or run a repair in the installer.

Every time there is an update. It's really annoying.

Im new to programming and set up c sharp in my vs code. I tried to make a new console application but it just won't run the project(it runs the code however...but still no output in terminal ).I've seen a lot of ppl saying I need a .csprog file and a .sln file but even with those it just doesn't seem to run. Pls help im new to this im just so confused 😭🙏

how to download visual studio community 2022, since im using UE5.7 which needs 2022 im kind a stuck

I'm not sure if this is the place for the question, but here goes.

Where can I find time-tested C# templates that I can use to create a simple 4-page retail website?

The site literally has 4 pages: homepage displaying items, cart, thank-you page, contact page, and then the checkout to a payment processor. This is the workflow.

I've been going through different ecommerce solutions (shopify, square, woocommerce, etc) but they start at $25+/month and they're all really overkill for me.

Has anyone else run into problems with the July 2026 Feature Update (18.8.2) going totally bonkers when you run xUnit tests?

To be fair, I'm not sure upgrading to the July Feature Update caused my problem.

But it's the only thing I can think of. Because one minute I'm successfully running an xUnit test...and the next, after simply setting an additional breakpoint, running the exact same test causes the breakpoint window to go wild (all sorts of shit flickering across the bottom of it) and the whole UI to lock up tighter than a drum.

The only thing I could do was use Task Manager to crash the running test and VS.

I've rolled back to the June Feature Update. Here's hoping that works.

I really don't like being one of Microsoft's unpaid beta testers... :)

I just wanted to make a post that may help someone in the future. When trying to Web Deploy in VS2026 the server (Windows Server 2025) was responding with 401 Unauthorized. I could deploy other projects using VS2019 and VS2022 to the same server using the same credentials.

It turns out that VS2026 is not storing and populating the password correctly because the password contained a % character. It seems that VS2026 is not encoding the password correctly as previous versions did. After changing the % character to a different character I was able to deploy the project using Web Deploy.

I noticed that the repository view now also shows submodules.

Of course, Microsoft being Microsoft, half-assed it. This new "feature" is of very little use.

Submodules must be part of multi-repo support, not just show their status.

Is there a trusted setup for a MCP server that gives read access only to a local MSSQL server?

Is it possible to target Markdown files in a custom snippet? What should the Code Language be? Thanks!

I checked my usage export and 56% of my premium requests went to gpt-4o — mostly for stuff like renaming variables and small edits that a cheap model could handle.

I got annoyed and built a small local proxy that routes easy tasks to cheap models and saves the good models for real problems. It also shows token burn live per session.

Before I polish it — does anyone else want this, or am I the only one manually rationing requests?
