  i hope to see 1 notepad++ feature makes its way into visual studio and that is “start selection – end selection from the context menu” to quickly select a lot of lines of code at once

  Does 17.6 include the MAUI net7 SR6 ? (https://github.com/dotnet/maui/releases/tag/7.0.86).
  Normally this is mentioned in the VS2022 release notes – but there’s no mention of it at all this time.

    It does! Will work on the release notes to ensure it is noted.

      Thanks James… I really hope SR6 is not the same complete trainwreck SR4 was – as I’m sure most MAUI devs had done, I had rolled back VS22 to 17.5.3 because of it. I also hope there’s also some strategy in place soon to completely decouple MAUI from VS versions/workloads into Nuget packages – this would certainly solve a lot of these ongoing issues.

      Microsoft is already using Rust as part of development. When will VS2022 support it？

      Hello – After executing the update to 17.6.2, F7 / Shift+F7 is not working for switching between designer and code in MAUI – Is there any way to fix it?

  Please provide the ability to deploy and debug .NET projects to ARM Linux (i.e. industrial and embedded system use cases). Visual Studio has this capability for C++ projects, and Visual Studio Code has this capability, but Visual Studio doesn’t. Why?

  There seems to be some typos in the Lightbulb Performance Improvements section within the release notes:

      It doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere (at least, not in this post or the linked post where the feature was announced in the 17.5 preview), but I just installed 17.6 and the Sticky Scroll feature only works if you also have the Block Structure Guides feature enabled in your language. It seems that at a minimum you need to enable guides for declaration level constructs. Sticky Scroll will then start working for namespace, class, and method declarations. If you also enable guides for code level constructs, Sticky Scroll will include the if/else, for loop blocks, etc.

        Thank you for sharing this important detail, Kevin! It appears that we’ve overlooked this requirement, so we appreciate you bringing this up. I’ve just added this to our newest blog post on the Sticky Scroll experience and will make sure it’s in the documentation.

  It seems that something was changed in regards to how blazor/razor handles @ref, either as an intended change or a bug.

  In the previous version if Visual Studio, there was no problem having a component reference another component using @ref, however after updating to the latest version these references result in errors: @ref Cannot implicitly convert type ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ElementReference’ to “SomeCompoent”

  If this the intended change, perhaps noting it in the blog? 🙂

  got curious about the performance increase in opening Chromium and wanted to test it on my machine.
  went ahead and downloaded the main.zip from https://github.com/chromium/chromium but couldn’t find the mentioned Chromium all.sln – where would I find this, to test the open/close of solutions?

  “This GA release is all about productivity…”

  Can’t talk about productivity until restoring the old “New Project” tree-based dialog and the “Start Page” instead of the “Start Modal Window”. The actual “New Project” dialog and “Start Modal Window” are unuseable and that make us waste a lot of time. We have been complaining and waiting for a solution to this problem for 5 years now. But it seems that Microsoft is not able, does not have the ability to fix it.

  regarding the “Link to GitHub Issues” feature: are there any limitations on that? Like it’s only for VS Enterprise? Or only for public GitHub repos?

  It’s not working for me. I’ve enabled it in Visual Studio’s settings, VS has my GitHub login, and the project I’ve opened has open issues assigned to me, but nothing happens when I type a ‘#’ in the commit message box. Is there something else I’m missing?

  After I installed this update I was unable to open one of our solution files. I narrowed it down to one of the web projects, but not sure what it is about it. Essentially VS starts loading the solution and then hangs if that project is present.

  I rolled back to 17.5.2 and it was fine

  Unfortunately, 17.6 has completely broken JavaScript editing in cshtml files:
  CSHTML JavaScript keystokes doubling – Developer Community

  And “safe mode” doesn’t work – opening a project results in a load of “The ‘CSharpPackage’ package did not load correctly” and “The ‘HtmlPackage’ package did not load correctly” errors, followed by a screen telling me that “there is no editor available” for cshtml files.

  I’ve tried repairing the installation, and it’s made no difference.

  No puedo enviar un reporte de error desde esta “nueva” versión de Visual Studio.

  El reporte era que las pestañas fijas, al pulsar en una de ellas, se abre en una nueva ventana y la única forma de acceder a ellas es ¡que no estén fijas! por tanto… la pregunta es ¿para qué me sirven las pestañas fijadas?

  Estoy haciendo rollback a la versión anterior… VS2022 v17.5.5 (espero que funcione ;-))

  The new compiler gives me lots of false warnings:
  warning C5082: second argument to ‘va_start’ is not the last named parameter

  		void	initDims(const size_t numDimensions, size_t...)
  		{
  			va_list	args;
  			if (numDimensions > 0)
  			{
  				va_start(args, numDimensions);
  				setArrayDimensions(numDimensions);
  				for (size_t i = 0; i < numDimensions; i++)
  				{
  					size_t arrayLength = va_arg(args, size_t);
  					setArrayLength(i, arrayLength);
  				}
  				va_end(args);
  			}
  		}
  

  The Update adds the compiler option ‘Build ISO C++ 23 Standard Library Modules’ with the default value ‘yes’, which breaks existing projects.

  However, the compiler is quit fast! That’s nice.

  Would it be possible to clarify in these announcement that this is for Visual Studio for Windows (not Mac)? I keep seeing announcements like this and think, “Yay, a new version is out!” but then after reading some details realize this is the Windows version only so not applicable to me.

    Sorry about the confusion, but I believe it’s the other way around. Visual Studio for Mac always has the “for Mac” designation, whereas Visual Studio (without any designation) always means that we’re referring to the Windows-based product. If we’re inconsistent, please do let us know to make sure we add the needed clarity.

  Allow installing previous versions because your releases lately are sub par to say the least.

  Yet again you screwed up Blazor developers with hasty release. Now I am stuck with The attribute names could not be inferred from bind attribute ‘bind-value’. Bind attributes should be of the form ‘bind’ or ‘bind-value’ along with their corresponding optional parameters like ‘bind-value:event’, ‘bind:format’ etc.

  And no option to remove 17.6 and go to 17.5 until you fix this.

  Updated to 17.6.2

  Blazor Server solution now has 304 errors.

  I ran the solution flawlessly before the VS update. My colleague still uses the older VS 2022 version, everything works.

  Now EVERYTHING is broken.

  All I see is ERRORS with, which worked fine before the update:
  CS0029
  CS0103
  CS0128
  CS0136
  CS0266
  CS0305
  CS0400
  CS0407
  CS1061
  CS1503
  CS1593
  CS1660
  CS1662
  CS8917
  RZ9985
  RZ9989
  RZ9991
  RZ9996

  Is this version even tested????? Oh god, if any one reads this:
  DO NOT UPDATE.
  Cheers, somebody who will spend a few days on trying to get it fixed again. Wasting time, really wasting time. AGAIN.

  did I miss a breaking change with this version? Up to now, I have been using TextTransform.exe in a pre-build scenario that with this version exits with an error of 1 which I traced back to a missing parameter. In previous versions the call made was…
  “$(DevEnvDir)TextTransform.exe” -a !!$(ConfigurationName)!1 “$(ProjectDir)Properties\AssemblyInfo.tt”
  To get a successful build, I had to change the script to
  “$(DevEnvDir)TextTransform.exe” “$(ProjectDir)Properties\AssemblyInfo.tt” -a !!$(ConfigurationName)!1

  looks like are positional.
