.NET Productivity with Visual Studio 2022
Visual Studio 2022 offers many features that will help you be more productive as you build and innovate in C# and Visual Basic.
Fast code navigation
Navigate your code to quickly find types, open files, and identify everywhere a type is referenced in your codebase.
Powerful live code analysis
Code analysis inspects your C# and Visual Basic code for style, quality, maintainability, and other issues. Code analysis is done during design time on all open files so you can get immediate feedback on code violations as you type and apply one of our many refactorings, quick actions, and code fixes to correct the violation.

Advanced IntelliSense
IntelliSense provides various code editing features including: code completion, parameter info, and member lists. IntelliSense has filtering and highlighting which helps you find what you are looking for, especially in APIs and code you are not familiar with.
Live Unit Testing
Live Unit Testing in Visual Studio Enterprise automatically runs the impacted unit tests in the background as you type. It also provides real-time feedback on which lines of code are hit by passing and failing unit tests, dramatically improving your productivity with writing and maintaining unit tests.
Improved Debugging
Use the new Exception Helper to drill into exception info, quickly get information to help you fix issues, and customize conditions to control your debugging experience. New Run to Click gesture simplifies the debugging experience by removing the need of adding temporary breakpoints.
