<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: x-large;">Game development with C++</span><br />
<br />
The game development workload with C++ provides you the tools for making games that run on Windows, Xbox, and beyond. Use powerful game engines like Cocos and Unreal to create cutting-edge graphics. This workload includes the DirectX templates and debugging tools that will help you create great games.<br />
<br />
Build high-performance 2D and 3D games in DirectX to run on a variety of devices in the Windows family, including desktops, tablets, and phones. Visual Studio offers a great set of tools for developing DirectX games, from writing shader code and designing assets to debugging and profiling graphics—all in the same familiar Visual Studio IDE.<br />
<br />

<br />
Project templates<br />
<br />
Get started quickly<br />
Get started building DirectX games in Visual Studio by using the built-in DirectX project templates. Whether you’re building a DirectX 12 or DirectX 11 game for Windows or Windows Phone, you’ll find a template that suits you.<br />
<br />
Debug graphics<br />
<br />
Capture frames local or remote<br />
Rendering problems can be tricky to troubleshoot. Visual Studio Graphics Diagnostics provides an easy way to capture and analyze frames from your DirectX 10, 11, or 12 games locally or remotely. You can inspect each DirectX event, graphics object, pixel history, and look into the graphics pipeline to understand exactly what occurred during the frame. This tool also captures call stacks for each graphics event, making it easy to navigate back to your application code in Visual Studio.<br />
<br />
Write and debug shaders<br />
<br />
The same world-class debugger now works for your shader code<br />
Whether your shader code is in HLSL files or FX files, the Visual Studio shader editor recognizes them. The shader editor provides syntax highlighting and braces auto-completion, making it easy to read and write shader code in Visual Studio.Debugging shader code from a captured frame is another great way to pinpoint the source of rendering problems. Simply set a breakpoint in your shader code and press F5 to debug it. You can inspect variables and expressions in Locals and Autos. If you’ve used the Visual Studio debugger for other languages before, you’ll find yourself right at home.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Analyze frame performance<br />
<br />
Find expensive draw calls<br />
Looking for ways to increase the frame rate for your game? Visual Studio Frame Analysis can come in handy. It analyzes captured frames to look for expensive draw calls and performs experiments on them to explore performance optimization opportunities – all in a nice report.<br />
<br />
Analyze GPU usage<br />
<br />
Understand how your game is performing on the CPU and the GPU<br />
Use Visual Studio GPU Usage to understand how your game performs on the CPU and the GPU. GPU Usage collects data in real time and it complements Frame Analysis, which is performed on captured frames in an offline fashion. The GPU Usage report will clearly show where the bottleneck is, whether it’s on the CPU or the GPU.<br />

The Linux development with C++ workload enables you to author C++ code for Linux servers, desktops and devices. You can manage your connections to these machines from within VS. VS will automatically copy and remote build your sources and can launch your application with the debugger. Our project system supports targeting specific architectures, including ARM.<br />

Your First VS Linux Project</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">
Let’s get started by creating a Console app. After creating your project from that template set a break point on the printf statement then hit F5 or the Remote GDB Debugger button. By default, the Console Application is set to a debug/x64 configuration. If your remote target is x86 or ARM you’ll want to change those options first. In this example I’m using a x64 Ubuntu VM.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">

Since this is our first time targeting a Linux machine you will be prompted for connection information.  This is triggered by building the project.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">

We support both password and certificate base authorization, including use of passphrases with certificates. Upon a successful connection we save your connection information for subsequent connections. You can manage your saved connections under <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Segoe UI", SegoeUI, tahoma, sans-serif; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tools > Options > Cross Platform > Linux</em>. Yes, passwords/passphrases are encrypted when stored. We plan to support connecting without saving the connection information in a future update.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">
Upon connecting, your sources will be copied to the remote Linux machine and we will invoke gcc to build the sources with the options from the project properties. After the build successfully completes, your code will be launched on the remote machine and you will hit the break point you set earlier.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">

Under remote settings, you will see the remote root is set to ~/projects/ by default and that we are setting the remote project directory to match our project name in that location. If we take a look on the Linux machine, we’ll find main.cpp as well as our build artifacts in ~/projects/ConsoleApplication1.</div>

Looking at the General settings for the project, you can see how our output and intermediate directories were configured. Additionally, you’ll see that this project was configured as an application – thus our executable is under bin/x64/Debug/ as ConsoleApplication1.out. Notice that for configuration types we also support static and dynamic libraries.</div>

Using the VC++ for Linux extension with the Intel Edison board is largely like any other Linux system. First you’ll want to make sure you’ve <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/library/edison-getting-started" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">setup your device following Intel’s instructions</a>. You should be able to connect to your Edison via our connection manager once you have connected it to your Wi-Fi network. If you need a direct connection to your Edison use these instructions for <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/connecting-to-intel-edison-board-using-ethernet-over-usb" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">using Ethernet over USB with your Edison</a> which will also work with our connection manager.</div>

The Edison makes it easy to start building an IoT application with sensor data. Accessories like the Arduino shield open make it easy to connect add-ons like the Grove shield from Seeed Studios. That shield lets you use any of the many available Grove sensors without having to worry about wiring a circuit on a breadboard, you can just get straight to your code. Intel has made this even easier to use with their <a href="https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">UPM sensor library</a> that covers a broad range of sensor including the Grove ones.</div>

Add a C++ file to the project and <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/sensors/grove-temperature-sensor" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">use the code from this Grove Temperature Sample from Intel</a>. The UPM libraries are part of the default Yocto Linux image used on the Edison so no additional setup is needed to acquire them. You should change the include statement in the sample to properly reference their location as follows:</div>

With that change, you are ready to build and run your code. Here you can see the output of this sample in Visual Studio’s debug mode. If you are wonder about that first output line the first read from this type of sensor is often a bit off.</div>

Makefile Project Template</h2>

The Makefile project template supports using external build systems on your remote machine (make, gmake, CMake, bash script etc.). This works as you would expect under the C++ project property pages you can <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/30/visual-c-for-linux-development/#includes" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">set your local Intellisense paths</a>, then on the remote build property page you add the commands, semicolon separated, to trigger your build on the remote machine. In the example here I’m switching to my remote directory with my build script and then executing it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #454545; font-family: WOL_Reg, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: keep-all; word-wrap: break-word;">
I’ve thrown together some <a href="https://github.com/robotdad/vclinux" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">bash scripts that can generate our makefile project with your sources</a> based on the directory structure. These scripts do assume that the source code on the Linux machine is in a directory that has been mapped to Windows. They do set the new flag in the project properties to not copy files remotely. These are unlikely to meet all needs but should give you a good starting point if you have a large project.</div>

We’ve gotten a lot of questions about what exactly are the arguments being passed to GCC. Our build output doesn’t make this obvious, but you can enable it. There are two ways to get to the same place to change this setting. In the quick input window search for “verbosity”, or under <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tools, Options</span> go to <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Projects and Solutions</span>, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: WOL_Bold, "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Build and Run</span>.

Everyone loves IntelliSense, but we’re not yet synchronizing the include files from your Linux system. Everyone has their own ways to either share or copy these files which is great. I wanted to share a really simple way to accomplish this I used in prepping the next section on the Intel Edison. I simply grab the whole folder locally onto my Windows box using <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">PSCP</a>.</div>

It is possible to specify at the file and project level whether or not a file should be remotely copied. This means you can use your existing build mechanisms just by mapping your existing sources locally and adding them to your project for editing and debugging.</div>

You can override the compiler commands used on the remote machine in the Property Pages. That will enable you to point to specific versions of GCC if needed or even point to an alternate compiler like clang. You can use either full paths or a command available on your path.</div>

Under Build Events node of the project properties there are also new pre-build and pre-link remote build events as well as options for arbitrary file copy in all build events to provide greater flexibility.</div>

The Debugging Property Page has support for additional gdb commands to be passed to the debugger to run when starting debugging. One example of where this can come in handy is Azure IoT projects. If you’ve used the Azure IoT C SDK on the Raspberry Pi you may have run into seeing an illegal exception being thrown when you start debugging. This is caused by some interactions between libcrypto and gdb. You can find some discussion of this issue <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=117686" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #969696; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">here</a>. While debugging can continue you can avoid this error by passing an instruction to the debugger before it starts, in this case “handle SIGILL nostop noprint”.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="willow" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>New Installation Experience</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We're delighted to introduce our new installer, which was designed from the ground up to:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Reduce the minimum footprint of Visual Studio.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Install more quickly with less system impact, and uninstall cleanly.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Make it easier for you to select and install just the features you need.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
When you first install Visual Studio 2017 RC, you'll see the new experience:</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new installation experience in Visual Studio 2017 RC" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/willow1.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The smallest install is just a few hundred megabytes, yet still contains basic code editing support for more than twenty languages along with source code control. Most users will want to install more, and so you can add one or more 'workloads' that represent common frameworks, languages and platforms - covering everything from .NET desktop development to data science with R, Python and F#.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
As we prepare for release, we're continuing to evolve the list of workloads. In particular, because the .NET Core, Xamarin, Python, and Data Science workloads have not yet reached RC-quality, we have marked them as "Preview" quality. These three workloads should not be relied on in a production environment at this stage.</div>

Feedback On the New Installer</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We're eager for you to try this out and looking forward to receiving your feedback. You can report problems or praise using the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Report a Problem</em> and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Provide a Suggestion</em> commands from the new installer client. In particular, we want to know if you experience errors installing, uninstalling, or modifying your installation, as well as abnormal installation times (e.g., hangs) or unexpected error messages.</div>
<h4 id="new-in-rc-creating-a-layout-for-offline-installation-and-new-command-line-installation-support" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">New in RC</em> Creating a Layout for Offline Installation and new Command-Line Installation Support</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
System administrators can now create an offline layout of Visual Studio that contains all of the content needed to install the product without requiring Internet access. To do so, run the bootstrapper executable associated with the product you want to make available offline using the <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--layout [path]</code> switch (e.g. <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\mylayout</code>). This will download the packages required to install offline. Optionally, you can specify a locale code for the product languages you want included (e.g. <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--lang en-us</code>). If not specified, support for all localized languages will be downloaded.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
To install from the layout folder, you can simply run the bootstrapper executable from the newly-created layout folder. Note that signature verification certificates will still need to be downloaded from the Internet. We are going to fix the need to be connected in an upcoming release. Last, note that the Android SDK requires an online connection to install.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can also run <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installershell.exe</code> to install Visual Studio components from the command line. Use the <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--help</code> switch for further information on command-line options.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="ReportAProblem" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>Enhanced Visual Studio Feedback Workflow</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Visual Studio 2017 includes an upgraded feedback experience for better follow-up and collaboration. As part of this upgrade, you will notice a more collaborative Report-a-Problem experience in Visual Studio supplemented by a comprehensive <a href="https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/index.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">web portal</a> for a complete end-to-end feedback solution. You can now search, follow, vote and get the latest updates on all feedback that you have provided via Visual Studio IDE’s Report a Problem feature. These enhanced experiences address a lot of the feedback we have received from you and enable bidirectional communication between our teams and you.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="vside" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>Visual Studio IDE</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
A broad range of enhancements are included in Visual Studio 2017 RC.</div>
<h4 id="overall-improvements" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Overall Improvements</h4>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The GitHub extension for Visual Studio can be selected in the new Visual Studio installer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Visual Studio has been optimized to reduce startup time and solution load time. The very first launch of Visual Studio is at least 50% faster.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Visual Studio will now monitor extension performance that impacts startup, solution load, or editing. You will be alerted about poorly performing extensions via the Notification bar in the IDE. The new Performance Center (also available via Help | Manage Visual Studio Performance) lets you view not only extensions that are impacting performance, but also discover tool windows that are impacting your startup performance and change their startup load behavior.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Reload All Projects has been replaced with Reload Solution to support better performance of switching branches external to VS. When using the Git command line to switch branches, choose Reload Solution after the branch has switched in order to achieve the maximum performance improvement.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">File globbing capabilities for .NET Core and ASP.NET Core projects have been enhanced. See <a href="https://aka.ms/jcmh7k" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">project file globbing</a> for more details.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">You are now automatically taken to the folder view of your repository after cloning. You can view files or open Solutions with the new Solution selection list in the Solution Explorer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">A new external service host is being introduced that will replace VSHub; this new service host is an external process and will appear in Task Manager as ServiceHub.Host.CLR.*.exe, as well as ServiceHub.Host.Node.x86.exe. This host will ultimately eliminate the localhost http traffic that was introduced with VSHub which should alleviate the noise Fiddler users reported.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Pre-release license expiration messages more clearly communicate the current license state.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The Account Settings dialog is now more accessible to screen readers.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The version control status bar makes it easier to publish local repos to an SCC host and keep track of uncommitted and un-pushed work.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Acquire remote repos from VSTS or use our more prominent MRU to open local projects and solutions easily.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Start Page MRU shows repos you've cloned on your other machines so you can easily clone them on your current machine.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Create a new project directly from the Start Page with searchable templates and a list of recently used templates. Recently used templates will also roam across Visual Studio instances with a personalization account.</li>

Find All References (Shift+F12) has been overhauled (currently for C#, Visual Basic, and C++), providing advanced grouping, filtering, sorting, searching within reference results, and colorization for results (for C# and VB), so you can get a clear understanding of your references and get to the line of code you need with confidence. On mouse hover over a reference item, a tooltip is displayed with the context of the reference in source code (for C# and VB). By toggling on the “Keep Results” button in the toolbar, the next invocation of Find All References will populate reference results in a new window. This allows you to keep the current results in the existing window.</div>

New Extensibility Format</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The new installer technology in Visual Studio 2017 RC gives you greater control over the tools that are installed. Some users may install just the core Visual Studio editor while others may install several workloads. To ensure that the prerequisite features an extension requires are installed, extension authors will now be able to specify the individual components required by their extension in the manifest.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Users will be warned when trying to install an extension that was not built using the new VSIX format. The old VSIX format does not specify prerequisites needed and may fail to work if those prerequisites are unavailable in Visual Studio 2017 RC. The new VSIX format is backwards compatible and can target past versions of Visual Studio up until Visual Studio 2012.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The VSIX manifest designer has been updated to reflect the changes to the manifest. In the prerequisite tab, extension developers can find a list of installed components to specify as a prerequisite for their extension.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="Prerequisite" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/prerequisite.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
During the installation of the extension, the VSIX installer will indicate which components are missing and will install them alongside the extension.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="VSIXInstaller" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/installer.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>

Modify Extensions in Bulk</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
In the Extensions and Updates dialog, you can now schedule multiple extensions for installation, update, and uninstallation before needing to restart Visual Studio. In the lower right corner, there is a summary of all the scheduled tasks. Clicking the x will unschedule the extension for modification.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Once the VSIX Installer has detected that all Visual Studio windows are closed, it will start to complete the scheduled modifications.</div>

Roaming Extension Manager</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
New in Visual Studio 2017 RC, the Roaming Extension Manager helps you keep track of all your favorite extensions across all your development environments. Roaming your extensions keeps track of the extensions you have installed by creating a synchronized list in the cloud.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
When you sign into Visual Studio, you can quickly see a list of your extensions from Tools > Extensions > Updates, and click Roaming Extension Manager. It tracks which extensions you have installed and lets you choose which ones are added to your Roaming list. With more cool extensions appearing in the gallery every day, this tool makes it quick and easy to set up each dev environment with your favorite extensions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new Roaming Extension Manager in the Visual Studio IDE" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/roamingextensionmanager_v2.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="The new Roaming Extension Manager in the Visual Studio IDE" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">

Sign in and Identity Improvements</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New in RC</span></em> We introduced a new identity service that allows us to share user accounts across Microsoft developer tools. Within Visual Studio this sharing includes features such as Team Explorer, Azure Tools, Windows Store publishing, and more. These features now share a common and consistent sign in experience.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Along with improvements to Visual Studio we have completed the deployment of some improvements on the service side that allow users to safely stay signed in and eliminate the forced sign-in every 12 hours. This addresses the most commonly reported sign-in issue. <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/08/15/fewer-visual-studio-sign-in-prompts/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">Learn more about fewer Visual Studio prompts</a>.</div>

Open Folder</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Open Folder is a convenient way for you to work with code bases without projects and solutions. Navigate to a folder by opening the File Menu, clicking Open, and then clicking Folder.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can open and edit files using the Solution Explorer. Many popular languages have syntax highlighting and support for symbol navigation (GoTo). Additionally, some languages have advanced IntelliSense and debugging support directly from the folder:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">C++ (CMake)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Node.js - JavaScript/TypeScript</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Python</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">C# & VB</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can build or debug by using F5 and the file context menu in the Solution Explorer. For the best experience, make sure you install the workload for the languages you are working with.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The folder view also supports the following:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Search across the code in your folder with GoTo (Ctrl+,).</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Scope the Solution Explorer folder view to subfolders.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Open folders in Explorer or the Command Prompt from the Solution Explorer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Easily toggle between Solutions in the opened folder or repository with the Solution selection dropdown.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Configure debug and launch settings with launch.json. Right click on a debuggable file and select "Debug and Launch Settings".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Configure tasks and customize build with tasks.json. Right click on any file and select "Configure Task Settings".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Launch.json and tasks.json have IntelliSense in the JSON editor.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New in RC</span></em> The performance of opening folders and toggling between folder view and solution view has been drastically improved.</div>

Lightweight Solution Load</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Lightweight Solution load enables faster loading of large Solutions. For large Solutions, it can provide a substantial improvement in Solution load time and memory usage. The feature is not enabled by default and can be enabled on a Solution by Solution basis or globally in the IDE. To enable globally, navigate to Tools Options dialog by selecting General under "Projects and Solutions" or by searching for "Lightweight Solution load" with Quick Launch. The feature can be turned on and off for individual Solutions in the Solution properties pane.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new Lightweight Solution load feature in the Visual Studio IDE" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/lightweightsolutionload.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="The new Lightweight Solution load feature in the Visual Studio IDE" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Lightweight Solution Load is best suited for large solutions that contain C# or a mix of C# and C++ projects. You may be prompted to enable the feature if we detect that you are working with large solutions. You can find more details about this feature on the <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/10/11/shorter-solution-load-time-in-visual-studio-15/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">Visual Studio blog</a>.</div>

Syntax Colorization, Autocomplete, Snippet, and "Navigate To" Search support for a broader set of languages</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Building on the support we added in updates to Visual Studio 2015, in Visual Studio 2017 RC we now support syntax colorization and autocomplete for an increased range of languages. In addition, some of these languages also support navigation via "Navigate To" (Ctrl+), and/or Code Snippets. See the list below for details.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Files for the languages noted below support these features in the new "Visual Studio Core Editor" even when no workloads have been installed to explicitly support the language in question. If a workload that provides language support is installed (e.g., the .NET Desktop Application Development workload, the Windows Desktop App Development with C++ workload, the Python Development workload, etc.), then more extensive language support including IntelliSense and other advanced language features like Light Bulbs may be provided.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Language file types listed by support level:</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Service Capabilities is the modern "Add Connected Service" or "Add Service Reference" feature of Visual Studio 2017 RC. The service Capabilities feature makes it easier to connect your app to services. A new node called "Service Capabilities" is available in the Solution Explorer for Web and Mobile project types. Double clicking this node will open a new full page tab in Visual Studio where you can discover popular Microsoft services you can connect to.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Selecting a service on the Service Capabilities page will invoke the Connected Services Wizard that configures your project, and downloads the necessary NuGet packages to get you started coding against your service quickly and painlessly.</div>

In Visual Studio Enterprise, if you have setup Dependency Validation diagrams (aka Layer diagrams) you now get real-time notifications of violations of architectural dependency rules as you type code in the Code Editor: errors appear in the Error List and squiggles in the text editor show the precise location of this violation. You are now less likely to introduce unwanted dependencies.</div>

C++ Compiler</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
In this release, we've updated the C++ compiler and standard library with enhanced support for C++11 and C++14 features, as well as preliminary support for certain features expected to be in the C++17 standard. With support for generalized constexpr and NSDMI for aggregates, the compiler is complete for features added in the C++14 Standard. Note that the compiler still lacks a few features from the C++11 and C++98 Standards. Visual Studio 2017 RC allows using /sdl with /await. We removed /rtc limitation with Coroutines. This release brings several improvements in optimization and code generation. Some notable improvements include:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved code generation of loops: Support for automatic vectorization of division of constant integers, better identification of memset patterns.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved code security: Improved emission of buffer overrun compiler diagnostics, and /guard:cf now guards switch statements that generate jump tables.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The /debug:fastlink option has been improved to provide 30% faster link times on large components than in Visual Studio 2015.</div>

For example, instead of "string iterator not dereferencable" you'll get "cannot dereference string iterator because it is out of range (e.g. an end iterator)".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: made basic_string::find(char) overloads only call traits::find once. Previously this was implemented as a general string search for a string of length 1.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: basic_string::operator== now checks the string's size before comparing the strings' contents.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: removed control coupling in basic_string which was difficult for the compiler optimizer to analyze. Resolves VSO# 262848 "<string style="box-sizing: border-box;">: reserve() does too much work". Note that for all short strings, calling reserve still has nonzero cost to do nothing.</string></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">We added <any>, <string_view>, apply(), make_from_tuple().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">std::vector has been overhauled for correctness and performance: aliasing during insertion/emplacement is now correctly handled as required by the Standard, the strong exception guarantee is now provided when required by the Standard via move_if_noexcept() and other logic, and insertion/emplacement perform fewer element operations.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The STL now avoids dereferencing null fancy pointers.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Added <optional>, <variant>, shared_ptr::weak_type, and <cstdalign>.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Enabled C++14 constexpr in min/max/minmax(initializer_list) and min_element/max_element/minmax_element().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved weak_ptr::lock() performance.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed std::promise's move assignment operator, which previously could cause code to block forever.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed compiler errors with atomic<T *>'s implicit conversion to T *.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">pointer_traits<Ptr> now correctly detects Ptr::rebind<U>.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed a missing const qualifier in move_iterator's subtraction operator.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed silent bad codegen for stateful user-defined allocators requesting propagate_on_container_copy_assignment and propagate_on_container_move_assignment.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">atomic<T> now tolerates overloaded operator&().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">To increase compiler throughput, STL headers now avoid including declarations for unnecessary compiler intrinsics.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Slightly improved compiler diagnostics for incorrect bind() calls.</li>

We have made several investments in this area and most developers should find the XAML editor and the XAML IntelliSense to be more responsive. This would be most apparent when editing a XAML file in projects that consume third party controls or large control libraries.</li>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Starting in Visual Studio 2017 RC SDK, there is a breaking change with how Visual Studio consumes project and item templates in order to improve performance of template discovery. The new discovery mechanism now requires all item and project templates following "vstemplate" schema to be defined in template manifest files. Visual Studio templates that you do not define in a template manifest file will no longer be visible in New Project or New Item dialogs. While new VSSDK tooling will generate manifest during VSIX build time, if you have Visual Studio templates released as part of a MSI package, you must manually generate template manifest files for those templates.

When you are on the Service Capabilities screen you are presented with a number of service capabilities. If you click on Office 365 Apis or Azure AD Authentication, you are then presented with a domain dropdown. If you are already signed into Visual Studio this dropdown should be filled with the domains this user has access to but is instead empty. If domains are expected but do not appear then the workaround below should be applied. The dropdown may be empty if no user is signed into Visual Studio or no accounts have been added in the account management dialog.
