I want to highlight a few of the new capabilities that are now available in Visual Studio 2022 17.2 released today. We have also released 17.3 Preview 1 – some additional details about that at the end of this post.<\/p>\n

Source Link<\/h2>\n

We now surface embedded source and Source Link<\/a> as part of \u2018Go to Implementation\u2019 if a referenced assembly has provided this information. This allows you to navigate to the original source files that implements the target symbol. As seen below in this animation it\u2019s as simple as placing your cursor on a symbol and press CTRL + F12 to navigate to the original source file.<\/p>\n

Raw string literal<\/h2>\n

In C# 11 we added a new language feature called raw string literals<\/a>. We now have a refactoring to convert a normal or verbatim string literal to a raw string literal. To use raw string literals, set the language version in your project file to preview (using <LangVersion>preview<\/LangVersion><\/code>). Place your cursor on a normal or verbatim string, then press CTRL + \u2018.\u2019 to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu and select \u2018Convert to raw string.\u2019<\/p>\n

Debugging collections<\/h2>\n

We recently highlighted this capability in a Visual Studio 17.2 Preview 2, but it bears repeating again. If you regularly debug your .NET code and want to inspect into large and maybe complex collections, we\u2019ve introduced a new visualizer in the debugging experience for IEnumerable object types:<\/p>\n

This provides a much easier view into this type of data to rapidly see the information you seek and be able to navigate quickly. For more details into this capability, be sure to check out other examples in our preview blog post from April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Razor editor<\/h2>\n

Since 17.1 we’ve been improving the reliability of the new Razor editing experience.\u00a0 In 17.2 we\u2019ve added support in the editor for:<\/p>\n
