We’re excited to host the Visual Studio 2022 launch event on November 8th. This release is unique: it brings together, the move to 64-bit, new capabilities, and improvements to reliability and performance across your entire developer workflow. The launch event is a celebration of that work, and all the work, our community, and extension authors have contributed. In all the sessions, Visual Studio 2022 is center stage with demos galore. With what’s new sessions that take you through all the new capabilities in Visual Studio 2022 and lots of Tips & Tricks sessions to help you get the most of Visual Studio 2022. Read on to see the full schedule and details of what we have in store for you!
You can watch the event on the Visual Studio 2022 launch site at: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/launch/. The stream will start at 8:30 AM PT (Pacific Time) on November 8. The event will also be streamed to our YouTube and Twitch channels. You can register for the scheduled stream on YouTube as well. For those of you in the US, don’t forget the clocks go back the day before. Don’t worry; if you do miss anything, all the content will be available on our YouTube channel after the event ends.
Not just any keynote
This is not going to be your average keynote. We’ve got Scott Hanselman, Amanda Silver, and a cast of characters from across the product team, telling the story of Visual Studio 2022 with a heap-full of demos and some friendly banter. We’re going to fit all this content into 30 minutes, so watch it on 2x speed at your peril 😊.
What’s new sessions
If you had any questions on whether you should try out Visual Studio 2022, this event has the answer for you. We’ve got eleven sessions from some great presenters focused on what’s new in Visual Studio 2022 and what it can do for you. Whether your building a cutting edge app with the latest technologies of today, or one that’s using the latest technologies of twenty years ago, Visual Studio 2022 has new capabilities for you. These talks will start streaming after the keynote.

For those repeats, the team will be on the live Q&A chat and to answer your questions around the clock!
Tips & tricks sessions
My favorite types of sessions are tips & tricks, and the whole team here has been as busy as beavers making them for this event. Each of the tips & tricks sessions are no-nonsense demos of features you can use in Visual Studio 2022. In these talks, you’ll find something new that you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. There’s not a single PowerPoint slide in sight, not a fluffy talk track, with pretty marketecture slides. Just demos. We’ve got 30 of these talks, covering just about every part of Visual Studio. All these talks will be available on our YouTube channel after the stream is over.

Digital swag

That’s a wrap
I’m proud of all the great content the team has put together for this event. I’ve never seen a conference with so many demos and so much educational content – I’ve learned new things that I can’t live without now, and I’m sure you will as well.
I hope to see you at Visual Studio 2022 Launch Event. As you can see, we’ve got a lot of great content lined up for you. So, join us at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/launch/ this coming Monday, November 8, at 8:30 AM Pacific Time.
See you next week!
Is there going to be any information on the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension?
I cannot even begin testing my main applications until I can load .rptproj types.
Hopefully the SSIS, SSAS and SSRS extensions are ready faster than for 2019.
SSIS editing with 64 bit will be nice, finally 🙂
where is WPF? As an old wpfer, i feel sad
It’s there! In the XAML talks (Dmitry’s talk). It was just a bit unwieldy to distinguish between the different types of UI platforms that use XAML….
I haven't seen any XAML C++/WinRT talk, so it basically means Visual Studio 2022 still doesn't provide a developer experience that can match Qt and C++ Builder as C++/CX was finally making it available on VS.
So I assume that the IDL XAML VS related tooling is the same as back in Visual C++ 6.0 with ATL days, pre-.NET.
Maybe the team should stop advertising how great WinUI supports C++ until they spend some hours playing...
Yes, please. We badly need WPF/WinForms updates!
We have definitely got content for both WinForms and WPF are covered in the talks. Both have what’s new session and are featured in the keynote.
Doesn’t MAUI also uses XAML?! Anyway it would be great if there is someone from the WPF team, just like there is someone from the Winforms team. Dmitry as far as I know isn’t working on WPF but the XAML designer. What if someone asking a question regarding WPF and nobody is there to answer?
MAUI sure does use XAML. It's a separate talk as it's focused on Visual Studio 2022 17.1 Preview. Whereas the rest of the talks are all on 17.0.
The team that's going to be on the Q&A is different from the presenters. There's just one presenter but we'll have more moderators from the team in the Q&A chat. Plus they can also reach out to anyone internally. If your question isn't answered on the day...
Could please fix the new bug before launch?
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/OpenMP-in-lambda-expression-compile-erro/1501041
I’m not sure. But I have pinged the team who’s investigating it.
I really hope that the hot Reload speed will increase.
But now he usually double-checks the entire project, it takes longer than rebuilding manually.
And sometimes it updates just the right component almost instantly.
The advantage of working in Blazor.
And even more I hope that I will become such a specialist that I myself will do what I need myself. it’s open technology.
Glad to know they’ll be plenty of steam to go around. 😊
>> …talks will be available on our YouTube channel after the steam is over.
Hehe, good catch! Fixed the typo. Thanks for pointing it out.
How about some cool VS wallpapers for digital swag!
I think we’re planning some wall papers :).
