We\u2019d love for you to download it, try it out, and join us in shaping the next major release of Visual Studio with your feedback.<\/p>\n<p><div  class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><a class=\"cta_button_link btn-primary mb-24\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/vs2022preview\" target=\"_blank\">Download Visual Studio 2022 Preview<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WCTkZ1M_A3I\" width=\"562\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Personal &amp; team productivity<\/h2>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/visual-studio-2022\/\">Visual Studio 2022 vision blog<\/a> we talked about delivering innovative features that revolutionize development is an important area for us to empower you to live your best developer life. In preview 3 we are adding new capabilities to some of the less used, but useful, features such as attach to process.<\/p>\n<h3>Attach to process improvements<\/h3>\n<p>One example is the improvements in the attach to process dialog. The dialog is now async, shows the command line arguments for processes, IIS information for <code>w3wp.exe<\/code> processes, and lasty the dialog has an optional tree view mode for showing parent-child process relationships. These capabilities reduce a lot of the friction in deciding which process to debug in advanced scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3>New project designer<\/h3>\n<p>With Preview 3 there\u2019s a brand-new project properties designer for .NET SDK projects. The new designer is easier to use and browse with a single column of options with clear descriptions. Best of all the new designer has built in search so it\u2019s now easy to find the property you need.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-233645 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/text-description-automatically-generated.gif\" alt=\"Text Description automatically generated\" \/><\/h2>\n<h3>Dark theme improvements<\/h3>\n<p>In preview 3 you\u2019ll see big 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 used more sparingly to reduce distraction and eyestrain. The new accent color now matches the latest product visual identity, which helps you quickly find the right window when they are navigating among multiple tools.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-233646 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/a-computer-screen-capture-description-automatical.gif\" alt=\"A computer screen capture Description automatically generated with low confidence\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Developing modern apps<\/h2>\n<p>With Visual Studio 2022, we are building tools to both support your existing applications and tools for building the latest types of applications. For example, in preview 3 we\u2019re adding new capabilities to run tests in Linux environments and a new project types for frontend development with <a href=\"https:\/\/reactjs.org\/\">React<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/vuejs.org\/\">Vue.js<\/a> applications using either TypeScript or JavaScript.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote testing<\/h3>\n<p>With remote testing you can now get feedback from your cross-platform tests, and even debug them from the comfort of Visual Studio! The feature works with a range of remote environments such as Linux containers, WSL, and over SSH connections \u2013 empowering you to test modern cross platform .NET applications.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-233647 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica.gif\" alt=\"A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>New JavaScript and TypeScript project types<\/h3>\n<p>The new JavaScript and TypeScript project types for Angular, Vue, and React make it easy to incorporate front end applications within your Visual Studio solution \u2013 empowering you to launch and debug your entire app from Visual Studio.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-233648 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica-1.gif\" alt=\"A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated with medium confidence\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Innovation at your fingertips<\/h2>\n<p>Another crucial part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/visual-studio-2022\/\">vision for Visual Studio 2022<\/a> is innovative capabilities that unlock your potential as a developer. As a developer some of the hardest issues to resolve are issues that only happen when your application is running live. To diagnose those issues sometimes all you have is a customer report that you can\u2019t reproduce. If you can collect a memory dump of the issue, you can use Visual Studio to debug the memory dump, but that\u2019s no easy task.<\/p>\n<h3>Diagnostic analyzer<\/h3>\n<p>Memory dumps are complex and finding the root cause of an issue is like looking for a needle in a haystack. With Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3 we\u2019ve made that process a breeze \u2013 with the diagnostic analyzer. The diagnostic analyzer can be used on memory dumps to identify common problems seen in .NET applications. Empowering you to root cause complex issues in no time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-233649 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/visualstudio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica-2.gif\" alt=\"A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated with medium confidence\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Working with multiple Git repositories at once<\/h3>\n<p>Preview 3 is also getting new preview features such as multiple Git repository which enables you to work with a single solution that has projects in multiple repositories and contribute to them from a single instance of Visual Studio.
