Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 Now Available!

“Firsts” excite me.  This excitement isn’t about competition with others, but rather about competition with ourselves and our past, about constantly working to better what we do and how we do it, and about the value we provide to developers and teams who use our tools.  At our Visual Studio 2012 and .NET 4.5 launch event in September, I talked about our strong commitment to continuous value delivery and our new approach for providing updates to Visual Studio on a regular cadence of shorter intervals:

I’m excited to announce that the first such update, Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 (Visual Studio 2012.1), is now available.  You can install it today from the download page (see "Visual Studio 2012 Update 1" under the "Additional software" section).

With this and future updates, we’re striving to ensure that developers and development teams always have the best solution for building modern applications and for managing the modern application lifecycle.  This approach to delivering updates, integrated directly into the IDE, should make it much easier for developers to keep the Visual Studio client up-to-date.

Importantly, this isn’t just about bug fixes, though it contains quite a few of those to measurably address issues reported through Connect, UserVoice, and Windows Error Reporting.  This update also delivers a wealth of new functionality into Visual Studio 2012.  The new functionality in Update 1 primarily spans four areas of investment: Windows development, SharePoint development, agile teams, and continuous quality.

Windows Development. A big focus area for us when designing Visual Studio 2012 was in enabling developers to build stellar apps for Windows, and that trend continues with Update 1, with which we’ve improved Windows development in a variety of areas.  Back in June, we announced we would enable C++ applications to target Windows XP from Visual Studio 2012, and that support is now available as part of Update 1. For Windows Store applications for Windows 8, Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 includes support for both mixed-mode managed/native debugging and for native ARM dump debugging.  Update 1 also includes improved diagnostics and testing support for Windows Store apps, such as with a JavaScript memory analysis tool, support for data-driven unit tests, and C++ unit testing enhancements. Additionally, for developers building apps for Windows Phone 8, we’ve enabled code analysis to help improve the quality of their phone apps.

SharePoint Development. Beyond the core platform support for SharePoint development available via “Napa” and the Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio, with Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 we’ve invested in building out significant new application lifecycle management (ALM) capabilities for SharePoint applications.  This work is primarily centered around multiple forms of testing: from load testing that enables the stressing of SharePoint applications with simulated load and network conditions; to performance testing that enables recording and running performance suites against SharePoint solutions; to unit testing that enables coded UI tests for simulating user interaction and that enables using the Microsoft Fakes Framework for stubbing out SharePoint dependencies in unit tests.  Update 1 also updates IntelliTrace to capture SharePoint logging information, in order to provide a rich analysis experience for SharePoint applications.

Agile Teams. With Visual Studio 2012, we introduced a wealth of features to support agile teams, from stakeholders to developers to testers to project managers, and Update 1 further builds upon this focus.  The update includes many usability improvements to enable user productivity while managing projects in the web-based interface for Team Foundation Server, such as with new ways to navigate around the UI, more cases where dragging and dropping is relevant, and a much improved source viewing and diffing experience.  Update 1 also includes Kanban support: in addition to the existing Scrum and task board support, the Kanban support offers a new range of project tracking options, including a Kanban board and a cumulative flow diagram.  In fact, Update 1 includes for Team Foundation Server most of the improvements made to Team Foundation Service in recent months.  Visual Studio now also includes a new visualization feature, Code Map, which enables developers to dynamically build views of relevant areas of a code base in order to understand and navigate its relationships quickly.

Continuous Quality. Last but not least, enabling continuous quality is a key focus area for Update 1, beyond the Windows and SharePoint testing features already mentioned.  This spans testing at all levels, from the management of tests to their execution.  For example, code coverage is now supported for manual testing of ASP.NET applications, enabling testers to analyze which areas of a code base are used during manual testing (similar to the support already enabled for automated tests).  Cross-browser testing is now supported, with the ability to record tests on Internet Explorer and later replay them with most modern browsers.  Test Explorer in Visual Studio has been augmented to enable custom “traits”; these traits are specified in the tests, allowing developers to specify how tests should be grouped and run.  Microsoft Test Manager has also been enhanced in several customer-requested areas, such as with support for pausing/resuming of manual test sessions and automatically creating an image log of all actions performed during an exploratory testing session.

Install Update 1 today to upgrade Visual Studio 2012 to the latest available bits.  We plan to release these Visual Studio Updates regular cadence, so stay tuned for more to come.

Finally, though unrelated to Update 1, if you’re looking for even more functionality in Visual Studio 2012, consider installing the recently released and free Productivity Power Tools add-in from the Visual Studio Gallery.  Created by individuals on the Visual Studio team, this is a pack of extensions focused on further streamlining the developer experience within Visual Studio 2012, with features like colorized parameter help, a custom document well, automatic brace completion, an enhanced scroll bar, and much more.

Namaste!

    @Fallon 2nd that comment re. the developer license online requirement, can't believe that still hasn't been fixed. MS will certainly lose the support of some of their big corporate/government customers if they don't hurry up and find a solution. I noticed when renewing the other day that the license period seems to have quietly increased from 1 month to 3 months, so that is a slight improvement. But in general just a stupid requirement, I though MS was over these sort of blunders?

    @Yakko Warner This is not possible as Windows Phone 8 Emulator runs as a virtual machine on Hyper-V, the virtualization technology for Windows 8. To run the emulator, your computer must meet the requirements to run Hyper-V and hence the need for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). The following MSDN documentation provides more details: msdn.microsoft.com/.../jj863509(v=vs.105).aspx

    @Raghuram Lanka - Be that as it may, the fact remains it prevents me from testing any potential Windows Phone development (unless I fork over $100 I don't have) on my machine that is perfectly capable of running other virtual machines without Hyper-V. The requirement of Hyper-V is a hindrance to my attempting to get involved on this platform. My request stands.

    @Jens: Code Map is available in Visual Studio Ultimate.  After you select some code in the editor, you can bring up the context menu and select "Show on Code Map". @Maciek: The Visual Studio unit test platform fully supports data-driven tests.  I'm not sure whether NUnit provides integration for the TestCaseAttribute, but if it doesn't, that's something the NUnit team could provide in their plug-in, and I'd suggest you reach out to them at http://nunit.org. @Jack: The update does not add Windows XP support for .NET 4.5. @Tab Hunter: Can you clarify what "disappearing act" you're referring to?  Is this a bug you're referring to, and if so, what's the issue?

    Technically the Visual Studio 2012 is great, fast and stable, far better then the earlier versions. But sadly, the user interface is almost unuseable. I thinking about the downgrade, because this icons not just uglies but very hard to recognize them if your eyesight is not perfect.

    I'm a developer and I like the new IDE. And my eyesight is not all that good either. I get that there are people out there who don't like it; I just wish they'd stop making it seem as though they speak for all devs. I personally find that VS 2010 looks too busy and wastes code window space with needless chrome having worked in VS 2012 for a while now. I would be unhappy if they went backwards with the IDE.

    Hi,  I’d like to try to address a number of comments and questions about the installation experience. First about slipstreaming.   We do not currently have a way to slipstream the updates with the RTM installer.  It's something we are looking into for the future, especially with a faster pace of updates.  What we planned is for each VSUpdate to be cumulative.  What this means is that after VSUpdate 2 is released, you'll only have to install VSUpdate 2 to update a machine that doesn't have VSUpdate 1 installed.  You will not have to install VSUpdate 1 and then VSUpdate 2. About offline installers/ISO files.  As a few folks have pointed out (thank you @Agile Hobo!), you can download the full offline installation package by downloading the web installer and running it using the /layout switch.  Rob Caron has a nice write up here: blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-install-visual-studio-2012-update-1-offline.aspx   @Kevin – I posted yesterday, but apparently it didn’t go through, I’m sorry for the delay.  Please contact me directly at davguy (at) microsoft, and we’ll get started debugging your problem. @Hotdog – We actually have one VSUpdate installer for all languages, which detects the VS language in use and displays that one.  So, if you can run the VSUpdate installer from the French MSDN site, it should work just fine for you. Hope this helps, thank you for your feedback on VSUpdate, it helps us think about how to improve things.

    I just want to point out, that the included Kanban template/board is in a very early state and not truly usable for a Kanban team. This template is mostly a scrum template with a little bit Kanban inside. The following things are missing or not tested in real life:

  1. The user has to handle THREE states ("State", "Process Step" "Process Step Done").   On a Kanban board every card has just ONE state = process step!
  2. The "Process Step"s are not visible on the board - only the higher aggregation "State" - so we do not see the process steps there. A fault -  the WIP-Limits can be set per column (= "State") AND (?) per "Process Step". So what is the limit for a state or process step?
  3. The visual board is very sparely. The information shown on the cards is not customizable (dates, sizes, color of card types, blocked, etc.). Besides the board could provide swim lanes, avatars, blocked visualization.
  4. Handling:
  • Dragging too many cards to a state shows "error" on the card and empties the "Process step".
  • Editing of cards on board. Waiting for a usable Kanban board in next TFS updates... Thx, Andi

    @Stephen Toub: "We currently have no plans to support XAML 2009 in the XAML editors in Visual Studio or Blend." So XAML is yet another dead-end technology from Microsoft. The editor will be stuck on XAML 2006 until you decide to "retire" XAML in favour of the Next Big Thing.

    How to Slipstream Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 with Visual Studio 2012 RTM ?

  • Anonymous
    November 27, 2012
    I applied Update 1 but for some reason, the latest SQL Server Data Tools update is not included.  I know this to be true because VS 2012 keeps nagging me about a SQL Server Data Tools update, which upon further investigation, is something named "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier App Framework", which needs to be upgraded from 11.1.2816.0 to 11.1.2820.0. Even worse, when I click the Update button in that dialog, instead of automatically updating the software like one would expect, I'm presented a web page for "SQL Server Data Tools - November 2012 update", which I already downloaded and installed.  Yet even after installing, the web page says there are additional manual steps to perform for the third piece of the "SQL Server Data Tools" portion of the update. Instead of making us perform a bunch of manual steps (that don't work by the way), just go ahead and include EVERYTHING in the Update 1 package and upgrade everything in one step.

    @David Guyer, actually I posted the other day as well but it also didn't seem to go through. I killed the install process, restarted it and it picked up where it left off. I haven't seen any adverse effects from it as of yet, I think I got lucky. On the topic of the various MS blogs and comments that never show up, it's quickly becoming a pet peeve of mine that MS seems to have embraced the 'hit and run' style of blog management. This is where posts often go up and and are only maintained for a short period of time afterwards by the people who posted. Coupled with the moderation requirement for comments to be posted, and the short period of time that many posts seem to be maintained, one has to wonder if maybe a blog is not the best way to be presenting this information to your customers.

    This is fantastic -- I think this is 100% the right model for client-side software going forward.  It's great to get both new features and fixes on a more regular basis.  It will be nice to see the full set of fixes; I know I've been experiencing 3-4 constant nagging issues that I or others have reported, so it will be nice to know for sure if they are fixed or not. I would also echo @NotSoFastMyFriend's comment.  There are a lot of peripheral tools that are bundled in the product that should also be included in these updates.  SSDT is one.  NuGet, the web developer tools, etc. are others.  Although the releases might be a bit more complex to coordinate, it does seem that when an update goes out, it should include the latest versions of everything that comes packaged with Visual Studio.  This would make it much easier for organizations to keep up-to-date that may not be comfortable having developers install their own updates (via the extension manager or otherwise).

    The update works on a pirated version just fine. Why do I use a pirated version 1 - no true upgrade pricing. Upgraders pay the same price as the full product 2 - Cost for download version. In US price = $US499(approx $AU478) - Australian pricing $AU724 (approx $US754). When the prices here get reasonable and there is proper upgrade pricing I will pay until then it remains the only installed pirated software on my PC.

    How about making VS uninstall work?  I'm having a problem with a project not being able to debug, and that project debugs fine on another machine.  So now I'm on my third try at uninstall/reinstall of VS2012, Windows Phone 8 SDK, and Update 1, and this time I'm going through the registry manually to try to get rid of all of it, but so far, each time I've reinstalled, it's come back with my prefs intact, and extensions that I'd used already installed.  That's a huge sign that it didn't all go away.

    Where is the real download?  I can't sit around and not work while the web installer wanders from my machine to VPN to slow dog corporate network while it decides at 100k a MINUTE what might need to be downloaded?  I want a Update 1 I can download once on fast net, and install on many machines, quickly and efficiently.  Where is the real download?

    @rwgreene: See blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-install-visual-studio-2012-update-1-offline.aspx. As noted there, "But don’t fret if you need to download Update 1 for ease of installation in a VM, or on a disconnected machine. The web installer for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 (vsupdate_KB2707250.exe) has built-in functionality to create your own local copy of the full update..."

    Some years ago there was a clear statement how to cope with customers "Ship the sh.. and fix it later!" Nowadays, this is called "Continuous improvement" or "Continuous Quality". MS still seems not to know, that in a professional development environment the cost of deploying MS tools is much higher than the license fee. Bad deal for both parties!

    I installed it for testing (it is NOT included in the VS2012 Web Installer as somebody said) I don't understand why you didn't merge the 2 tool sets into one, as long as the Visual Studio 2012 xp tool set executable run in XP and Windows 7.

    VS 2012 Pro; so many crashes and freezing especially when using working with CSS properties; it's very frustrating.

    Productivity Power Tools - has on/off sliders. Touch Screen development for VS? Really? ... and, nibble nibble on ReSharper! Oh Microsoft, when will you learn to invent not copy blindly.
