Thank you for joining us for this action-packed hour and voicing your questions and feedback in this Visual Studio 2022 AMA!
Please note any questions asked after 10AM will not be answered, but the team will continue to follow up on questions asked during the event. Thanks again!
- Before closing... just want to say thank you for all you do. Loving the open Microsoft and development tooling over the years. It has provided a good living and lifestyle for me in my career. Thanks to peeps like Tim and the community (met you back in the early XAML days at an Atlanta conference) and has been fun working with Mads on the new VS Extension Toolkit. Keep up the good work 🙂

- Just 14 minutes to go! Get your questions in! 🙂
- any chance to get WT working inside Vs in a later future 😉 ? not Wack Wack or package manager using wt would allow same profile / same settings / same ux / same everything but just docked
- Andy SterlandWe don't have any plans to host the Windows Terminal app inside Visual Studio at the moment. It's a great suggestion for https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/report?space=8&entry=suggestion though. There's lots of asks around hosting a terminal but not re-hosting the Windows Terminal wholesale.
- I know this AMA is about Visual Studio, but please if you could reply on SSMS availability of dark theme.
- timheuerWe'll pass along to that team, but no idea from this crew :-). Does Azure Data Studio not serve your needs well within your SSMS use cases? You'll get dark theme 😛 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/what-is-azure-data-studio?view=sql-server-ver15#feature-comparison-with-sql-server-management-studio-ssms
- I publish a very popular extension; https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ErikEJ.SQLServerCompactSQLiteToolbox - uses the Dev 11 SDK with VS 2012 - 2019. I am unsure how to proceed with an update/upgrade - I have some thoughts here: https://github.com/ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox/issues/902 - any thoughts/ideas/proposals? (There is no Initialize code)
- mkristensenOne strategy I've done in the past is to upload the current version to GitHub releases. Then upgrade the entire extension codebase to support only modern versions of Visual Studio. In your case that could be 2017+ or even 2019+. That means you can upgrade to
and the VSSDK meta package or community toolkit. I like this strategy because it makes me able to take advantage of newer APIs such as Task Status Center and InfoBars that aren't available in the older versions. Telemetry shows that the vast majority of extension installs happens on newer versions of VS and that hardly anyone installs extensions on old versions. But by having the GitHub release, they can always download the old version if needed. - Thanks, Mads. I think I will go all in, and go for Dev 17 SDK.
- Any chance to add first class C++ support to Visual Studio without using Visual Assist ?
marianluparuHello! Curious to learn more about what would you like to see in the C++ support in Visual Studio. My team is certainly very busy improving the C++ experience release after release. For a summary of VS 2019 improvements, check out this blogpost: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/intellisense-improvements-in-visual-studio-2019/ What would you like to see in VS 2022? It would be great if you open tickets in https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/search?space=62 and post the links back here - I can help route them to the right folks in my team. Also folks reading this, can upvote your tickets too.- I just tested the new Visual Studio version which is great and it’s only a few features I‘m missing: - create new file feature from Visual Assist(create a new file in the directory of the currently selected file with templates depending on the file type) - some refactoring options are missing, especially „add include“(which I use extremely often) - auto fix options I will reply with more features / check your issues when I identify more missing features
- Understanding EF Core is the way to go, will we see Linq-To-Sql support come to .NET (Core)?
- No! Frans Bouma did some work on a port, but no.
- VS2022 being preview 1 version is still so stable. I have uninstalled VS2019 and now completely working in VS2022 since its public release and not a single crash I faced till date. Thank you for such a wonderful product.
- mkristensenThat's fantastic to hear. Thanks for sharing 🙂
- Has anyone seen possible support coming for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to .NET (Core)?
- Do you mean the WinForms Reporting control?
- Yes, we have some older WinForms apps and eventually would like to modernize with WPF or WinUI.
- timheuerThis is an area I've been asking around in lately myself given some other developer scenarios. Are you looking for the scenario of how you can embed VB.NET code today but you want that to be the .NET Core surface area?
- I don't believe we use any VB code with it. More looking embedding the reports/printing features within WPF (and eventually WinUI) apps.
