Tools in Visual Studio 2022

Visual Studio contains many useful built-in tools including ones to implement the concepts you learned about earlier in this chapter.

Visual Studio vNext

At the time of writing, Visual Studio is version 17.10 and branded as Visual Studio 2022. I expect the next major version of Visual Studio to be version 18.0 and be branded as Visual Studio 2025. It is likely to be released in November 2024, after this book is published. Visual Studio 2025 will have mostly the same features as the 2022 edition although the user interface might move things around a bit. By default, all links in this book for Visual Studio will go to the current version, so to the 2022 version until the 2025 version is released. To force a link to go to the older version, append ?view=vs-2022 to the end of the link.
