Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3

We are happy to announce the third preview version of Visual Studio 2022!

Preview 3 provides more new features on topics such as individual and team productivity, modern development, and continuous innovation. In this article, we will focus on some of the new features of Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3. We hope you download and try it, and then use your feedback and suggestions to let us shape the next better version together.

Individual and team productivity

In the Visual Studio 2022 Vision Blog, we talked about providing innovative new features that can bring developers a great development experience. In Preview 3, we have added new features for some less commonly used but very useful features, such as attaching to a process.

❶ Improvements attached to the process

One of the improvements about attaching to a process is the improvement of the attach to process dialog box. The dialog is now asynchronous, displaying the command line parameters of the process and the IIS information of the w3wp.exe process, and finally the dialog has an optional tree view mode for displaying the relationship between the parent and child processes. These features reduce a lot of friction when deciding which process to debug in some complex debugging scenarios.

❷ New project designer

In Preview 3, there is a brand new project property designer for .NET SDK projects. The new designer is easier to use and browse, with clearly described single-column options. Most importantly, the new designer has a built-in search function, so you can now easily find the attributes you need.

❸ Dark theme improvements

In Preview 3, you will see major changes to the dark theme to improve the usability of Visual Studio. The new dark theme has a new accent color, which is less intense and can reduce distraction and eye strain. The new accent color matches the latest product visual identity and helps you quickly find the correct window when navigating between multiple tools.

Develop modern applications

Using Visual Studio 2022, we are building tools to support your existing applications and tools for building the latest types of applications. For example, in Preview 3, we added new features that can run tests in a Linux environment, as well as new front-end development project types that use React and Vue.js, regardless of whether you use TypeScript or JavaScript.

❶ Remote test

With remote testing, you can now get feedback from cross-platform tests and even debug them directly in Visual Studio! This feature is suitable for a range of remote environments, such as Linux containers, WSL and SSH connections-enabling you to test modern cross-platform .NET applications.

❷ New JavaScript and TypeScript project types

The new JavaScript and TypeScript project types for Angular, Vue, and React allow you to easily incorporate front-end applications into your Visual Studio solution – enabling you to launch and debug entire applications from Visual Studio.

Innovation at your fingertips

Another key part of our Visual Studio 2022 vision is innovative features that can unlock your potential as a developer. As a developer, the most difficult thing to solve is that this problem only occurs when the application is running. To diagnose these problems, sometimes all you have is a customer report that cannot be reproduced. If you can collect the memory dump of the problem, you can use Visual Studio to debug the memory dump, but this is not easy.

❶ Diagnostic analyzer

Memory dump is very complicated, and finding the root cause of the problem is like finding a needle in a haystack. In Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3, we use the diagnostic analyzer to make this process a breeze. The diagnostic analyzer can be used for memory dumps to identify common problems in .NET applications. To help you find the root cause of complex problems immediately.

❷ Use multiple Git storage repositories at once

Preview 3 also adds new preview features, such as multiple Git storage repositories, which enables you to use multiple Git storage repositories in a solution, and you can also contribute code or update to the storage repositories from Visual Studio. You can enable this feature from the "Preview" tab of the Tools -> Options menu. Just search for "Preview" (Ctrl+Q) in the search bar and find "Enable multiple storage warehouse support".

❸ Publish to Azure DevOps with one click

In Preview 3, through the latest experience of creating a Git repository, it is easier to publish code to Azure DevOps. With just one click, Visual Studio can initialize a new Git repository and push it to Azure DevOps.

Write at the end

The above functions are just a few examples of how we are using Visual Studio 2022. There are more features to explore in Preview 3. We will continue to update, if you can’t wait, please continue reading the release notes to learn more about the new features in Preview 3.
Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3 can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2019, and anyone can use the preview version for free. We hope to get your help to make Visual Studio 2022 your best developer experience. We encourage you to download and use the preview version just like you use the Visual Studio 2019 preview version. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, report issues, and participate through the developer community.
