Visual Studio 2022 Professional – Development environment licence (64-bit)

Visual Studio 2022 Professional is Microsoft's integrated development environment in its most recent generation, and the first to be fully 64-bit: the IDE is no longer limited to 4 GB of memory, which changes everything on large solutions. It is aimed at independent developers and teams working in .NET, C++, ASP.NET Core, desktop applications, cloud services or cross-platform mobile applications.

Key features

• 64-bit IDE — opening and indexing of very large solutions without memory saturation, noticeably smoother navigation.
• Hot Reload — modify the code of a running application and see the result immediately, without restarting or losing the application state.
• IntelliCode — completion suggestions based on the analysis of thousands of repositories, up to entire lines proposed in context.
• Modernised debugger — dependent breakpoints, extended data visualisers, external debugging for files without source code.
• .NET 6 / .NET 7 and C++20 — modern versions of the framework and of the C++ standard.
• Live Share and integrated Git — real-time collaboration, repositories, branches and pull requests from the IDE.
• Containers, Azure and .NET MAUI — cloud-native development and cross-platform applications.

Professional or Enterprise?

Let's be concrete: Professional is enough for the vast majority of developers. The Enterprise edition adds tools specific to large organisations — IntelliTest, automated interface tests, Code Map, architecture validation, advanced profiling and full code coverage, Live Unit Testing.
