Visual Studio Professional 2017 - everything on board for professional program creation, in the purchase version

With Visual Studio 2017 in Professional Edition, users have everything at their fingertips to create apps and programs - from development to debugging and fixing code, and version control to release.

Visual Studio Professional supports older languages like C and C++, as well as current variants like C# and the Apple Metal programming language, iOS, JavaScript and Python, and other web languages. In addition, the software accompanies users with live support when writing code, regardless of the language used.

The precise debugging functions facilitate troubleshooting as well as fixing bugs, thus saving precious time in app development.

The quick structure view always shows where developers are in the structure of a code, and the centralized bug list shows all compilation as well as building and code analysis issues, including domain-specific issues for some languages, through live analysis as you type.

In particular,Visual Studio Professional 2017 offers many improvements in commonly used features such as IntelliSense and Refactoring, but also in code navigation and code correction, as well as for IntelliSense and CodeLens, which increases the focus on developer work by immediately highlighting references and changes to code, etc., directly in the editor.

Who is Visual Studio 2017 Professional for?

Visual Studio 2017 Professional Edition is intended for professional developers who work alone or in teams to develop sophisticated applications, including for mobile. With support for Windows 7 and above, Visual Studio 2017 can also be used on older operating systems, expanding the range of users.

The offer of Visual Studio 2017 Professional as used software at Wiresoft provides developers with all the advantages of the proven Microsoft software at a particularly favorable price as a single license for use on their own PC, without any subscription obligation.

In addition to Visual Studio 2017 Professional, you can also find other Visual Studio editions or versions as a single license in a purchase version in the Wiresoft Software Online Shop, as well as Microsoft programs compatible with it, such as Windows 8 and Windows 10. The following overview shows the most important optimizations and new features of Visual Studio 2017 Professional.

Overview of the most important features included in Visual Studio 2017 Professional

The 2017 version of Visual Studio includes many improvements over the previous version, as well as quite a few new features to make developer work even faster and more efficient. Already during the installation of this Professional Edition, admins can choose whether only the Core Editor should be used, or whether a user also wants to write .NET desktop applications, Python code or games with Unity.

And at program startup, the improvements are already noticeable in reduced boot times, as well as when starting a session and loading solutions.

Among the features that now also work faster is the recognition of templates for projects and elements.

Furthermore, Visual Studio 2017 offers some improvements in the respective editors for C++, C#, Visual Basic, F#, JavaScript and TypeScript, as well as in the code debugging and problem diagnosis systems and tools used for software development with .NET Core as well as ASP .NET Core, but also Xamarin, Apache Cordova and Unity, and MS SQL Server. In addition, the following features in Visual Studio 2017 Professional should be mentioned in particular:

IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2017 Professional

IntelliSense describes Application Programming Interfaces - APIs - as you type and automatically completes them using the respective IntelliSense completion lists, making processes both more accurate and faster. At the same time, unnecessary members are removed from the completion list using filters. Specifically in C#, IntelliSense completion lists include tokens of "list member" and "complete word", among others. The lists also provide quick access to, among other things, members of a particular type or namespaces, code snippets, and names of variables, commands, and functions.

Similarly, IntelliSense can be used to explore an API more quickly, as a category can be used to limit the set of values. Tooltips also make it easier to examine definitions of APIs; even as you type, they point out problems and highlight the critical parts with wavy lines.

CodeLens in Visual Studio 2017 Professional

With CodeLens, developers can stay on top of their work without leaving the code and easily navigate to individual functions. CodeLens highlights all changes to the code in the editor, including the last developer to modify a method, and indicates whether a test has passed at the relevant point in the code where it is currently located.

Using Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2017 Professional

By enabling Team Explorer, developers can coordinate a project with other team members, making it easier to manage assigned tasks. Team Explorer connects Visual Studio to Git or GitHub repositories and TFVC (Foundation Version Control) repositories, among others, as well as projects hosted by Azure DevOps Services to manage builds, work items and source code.

New refactorings in Visual Studio 2017

It's not uncommon in development to need to improve code after the fact as the project progresses. Refactoring updates the internal structure of the code without changing its behavior. Visual Studio 2017 Professional also offers a number of new refactorings for this purpose, such as generating overrides, adding parameters and named arguments, the ability to insert digit separators into literals as well as change the base of numeric literals - including "hexadecimal" to "binary" -, further converting an If statement to a Switch statement; also removing unused variables as well as adding NULL checks for parameters.

Source code management in Visual Studio 2017 with Git

Visual Studio 2017 Professional offers two options for managing source code: Microsoft's own Azure DevOps solution - when using the Azure Cloud - and

your own remote repository using Git, the version control solution that is a widely used Standard for this purpose.

Azure DevOps (formerly Visual Studio Team Foundation - TFS) enables improved coordination of the various roles in development, so that teams can more efficiently implement the respective project requirements. With Azure DevOps in Visual Studio, Redgate SQL Search is available, among other things; furthermore, searching for SQL fragments even across different databases is facilitated with Redgate ReadyRoll Core, on the other hand, supports the management also of automated changes to databases using Source Control, as well as the development of migration scripts; in addition, Redgate SQL Prompt Core offers various options when writing and formatting as well as refactoring SQL code.

Since the use of Visual Studio Team Foundation or the corresponding server usually requires a subscription version of Visual Studio 2017 or direct registration, users can alternatively also use Git - the freely usable software for version management of files. This way, members of a team can also work on the same projects simultaneously.

For this purpose, Visual Studio 2017 offers the option of managing repositories directly via buttons in the IDE. This allows code to be quickly set up for a Git service, transferred and published. In addition, the edition also offers new functions or additions, including for "Push" and "Commit", as well as SSH support, so that even more tasks can now be completed in the IDE with Git.

Xamarin in Visual Studio 2017

Visual Studio 2017 also puts a strong focus on Windows, iOS as well as Android mobile app development with Xamarin support. For example, built-in Xamarin features include the Xamarin Forms Previewer, which lets developers instantly see the impact of a line of code on an application via live preview alongside a XAML markup. Xamarin Forms also includes enhancements to IntelliSense for XAML to support bindings and converters, as well as custom controls and properties, etc.
