Today we shipped an update (version 1.3) of our plugin for Visual Studio 2013 that makes working with Application Insights from Visual Studio really easy.  Improvements include:

• Intro to portal experience from VS ^New!
  • When you run your application for the first time a toast notification will notify when new events are appearing in the portal
  • An “Application Insights” toolbar button will appear in the VS toolbar when you start debugging to give you easy access to the portal
• Single sign on experience ^New!
  • When navigating to the portal from VS, you will not need to re-enter your credentials in order to sign in.
• Bug fixes based on feedback

If you have any of the Preview releases, you can get the update several ways, including:

In Visual Studio, select Tools > Extensions and Updates, then click Updates > Visual Studio Gallery Select the Application Insights Tools for Visual Studio extension Click Update

If you don’t already have the tools, you can download the latest version here:
