Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 Available for Download
Today, I am excited to announce that Visual Studio 2015 and .Net 4.6 are available for download!
These releases are the next big step in the journey we outlined last November to bring the productivity of Visual Studio and .NET to any developer working on any kind of application while also delivering a new level of innovation in developer productivity for all Visual Studio developers.
To celebrate today’s releases, you can join us online for the Visual Studio 2015 Release Event, check out 60+ on-demand feature videos or just dive right in and download Visual Studio 2015 now.
The Visual Studio Family
Over the last few years, the Visual Studio family has expanded to be broader than ever before. And the reception from developers has been great to see.
At the core is the Visual Studio IDE that millions of developers around the world love and use day-in and day-out to build great applications. Last year, we introduced Visual Studio Community - a fully-featured Visual Studio IDE which is free for non-enterprise development. Since November, we have seen over 5 million downloads of Visual Studio Community, the fastest ever adoption of a Visual Studio product.
Two years ago, we introduced Visual Studio Online, bringing a rich collection of cloud-hosted developer services to the Visual Studio Family – from source control to agile backlog management to hosted build and application insights. Today, we have more than 3.2 million developers registered for Visual Studio Online.
And earlier this year, in April, we released a preview of the new Visual Studio Code, a refined code editor for Mac, Linux and Windows supporting cross-platform web and cloud development. In the last 3 months, we’ve see more than 500k downloads of Visual Studio Code, with nearly half of those downloads on Mac and Linux.
It’s been great to see the excitement and passion around the whole Visual Studio family of products.
Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6
Today’s release of Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 brings hundreds of new features for developers building for desktop, web, mobile, cloud and more.
Here I’ll highlight just a few of the big new things in Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6. For more, check out Visual Studio release notes as well as the Visual Studio blog, the .NET blog, and Scott Guthrie’s blog.
Innovation in Productivity
As developers, we spend a lot of our time day-in and day-out in Visual Studio. So with every new release, it is our mission to deliver new innovation that provides the most productive developer experience possible inside Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2015 continues this trend, with improvements in productivity across debugging and diagnostics, code editing and refactoring, and programming languages.
Debugging and Diagnostics
Visual Studio 2015 unifies debugging and profiling into a single Diagnostics Tools window, bringing insights about the correctness and performance of your running application into context during development. And with PerfTips, you even get performance information right in your code as you set breakpoints and step with the debugger.
Code Editing and Refactoring
In the editor, C# and VB developers can use the new Roslyn-based tooling, including Light Bulbs that proactively suggest potential fixes or code refactorings tooling. With Roslyn’s code analyzers, developers can even customize the warnings and suggestions delivered inside the editor to meet their team’s needs.
We’ve also added a brand new XAML editor with tons of new features to easily navigate through code including Peek.
Programming Languages
Along with Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 come the final versions of C# 6 and Visual Basic 14. With dozens of new language features that simplify common coding patterns, the new versions of C# and VB.NET offer a big step forward for .NET developer productivity.
Visual Studio 2015 also includes significantly improved support for C++ 11/14/17 along with TypeScript 1.5, F# 4.0 and tools for Python and dozens of other languages.
Openness for Web, Cloud and Mobile Development
Whether it’s developing for the web, the cloud or for mobile, developers are looking for flexibility and choice. Visual Studio and .NET are providing this choice, offering the ability to target new platforms, to use new programming languages, and to take existing skills and applications to new environments.
As one part of this, over the last 2 years we have been open sourcing many of the components of our programming stacks in Visual Studio and .NET – from Roslyn and TypeScript to CoreCLR and the Python Tools for Visual Studio. On top of this, it’s easier than ever to work with open source technologies within Visual Studio.
Web and Cloud Development
Along with .NET 4.6, we are also making available ASP.NET 4.6, the newest version of our Web development framework. ASP.NET 4.6 adds support for HTTP/2 as well as support for the newest C# features and the new Entity Framework 6.1.3. Visual Studio tooling for web development continues to expand to offer HTML and CSS tooling with up-to-date standards support and a much richer JSON editor.
Visual Studio 2015 also includes the latest Azure SDK providing one-click provisioning and deployment to Azure for web sites and cloud services, along with easy management of all or your cloud resources. Whether your application is using IaaS or Paas in Azure, built with .NET or Python or Node.js, or deploying to Windows or Linux or Docker containers, the cloud tools in Visual Studio 2015 let you easily integrate with Azure.
On top of this, developers can also use the preview of ASP.NET 5 in Visual Studio 2015. ASP.NET 5 is one of the most significant updates to the ASP.NET platform we’ve done. Because ASP.NET 5 runs on the CoreCLR, it can be deployed to your choice of platform, whether it’s Linux, Mac or Windows. On top of this, ASP.NET 5 offers foundational improvements in rapid development, cloud configuration, dependency management and composability.
Mobile Development
Mobile development is increasingly about building mobile experiences that run across many mobile platforms. Visual Studio 2015 includes cross-platform mobile development tools for building applications targeting iOS, Android and Windows, and offers developers choice in what languages and technologies to use to developer their mobile applications.
Many developers start by building mobile-ready browser based applications using responsive HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Visual Studio 2015’s rich web tooling, integrated debugging and support for the latest web UI frameworks provide the tools needed to build great mobile-ready web sites.
If you prefer to build a mobile app experience that installs natively on the device, Visual Studio 2015 offers integrated tools for Apache Cordova, enabling you to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript (or TypeScript) to build cross-platform mobile applications that deploy to the consumer on enterprise store. Visual Studio 2015 even includes a high-performance Visual Studio Emulator for Android for debugging and testing Android applications.
For developers who prefer the richness of .NET, Visual Studio 2015 enables building Universal Windows Apps to target the breadth of Windows devices, from desktop to phone to IoT or even HoloLens. And by combining Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin, developers can extend their .NET applications to also target iOS and Android. With Xamarin, everything you can do in Java or Objective-C is available from .NET and Visual Studio.
On top of these, Visual Studio 2015 also provides cross-platform C++ development for shared components targeting iOS, Android and Windows as well as integration with game engines like Unity to easily build cross platform games.
Visual Studio 2015 even includes a high-performance Visual Studio Emulator for Android for debugging and testing Android applications.
DevOps and Agility
Development teams today are focused first-and-foremost on being agile. But increasingly, the trend towards embracing DevOps practices is becoming central to how teams think about creating an agile team and agile processes. Visual Studio 2015, Team Foundation Server 2015 and Visual Studio Online provide integrated DevOps services that enable teams to continuously deliver, continuously monitor and continuously learn so they can optimize their agility.
These core capabilities across the DevOps spectrum are available in Team Foundation Server 2015 (RC2 available now with the final release available soon) and in the cloud-hosted Visual Studio Online service.
Team Foundation Server has been a great tool for .NET teams for many years, but over the last few years we’ve been increasing our focus on making sure Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online provide 1st class support no matter what language or platform you are targeting.
Whether it’s Node.js or Java, iOS or Android, both Team Foundation Server 2015 and Visual Studio Online will provide comprehensive support for all of your teams’ developer service needs.
Planning
The agile boards in Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online are a critical tool for teams to track their work and progress on a day-to-day basis. Team Foundation Server 2015 includes updates to the agile boards experience including customization, tagging, swimlanes and more.
Develop and Test
Team Foundation Server 2015 and Visual Studio Online have introduced introduce a new Pull Requests code review experience for Git projects, enabling faster developer collaboration earlier in the development process.
Build and Release
Team Foundation Server 2015 and Visual Studio Online include a brand new build system which provides a simple web-based interface for configuring pluggable, cross platform build workflows for your continuous integration pipeline.
Monitor and Learn
Just as important as getting code into production is understand and learning from you code in production. Visual Studio 2015 provides one-click integration of Application Insights for both server and client projects, making it seamless to get rich and immediate insights on the performance, availability and usage of your applications – both during development and in production.
Visual Studio Partner Ecosystem
Just as important as the products themselves is the ecosystem of extensions available for Visual Studio that add support for new platforms, new workflows and new application types into the Visual Studio experience. In just the last year, we saw over 13M downloads of extensions from the Visual Studio gallery.
Today we have 84 of our Visual Studio partners sim-shipping extensions supporting Visual Studio 2015. And it’s easier than ever to integrate with Visual Studio, Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online to deliver new experiences on top of the Visual Studio family of products.
Conclusion
Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 are an exciting next step for developer tools from Microsoft - combining new productivity for existing Visual Studio users with new platform support for developers targeting a wider range of platforms and programming models.
I encourage you to join us online for the Visual Studio 2015 Release Event, check out 60+ on-demand feature videos or just dive right in and download Visual Studio 2015 now. Thank you to all the Visual Studio users who have participated in the development of these products by giving us feedback and getting engaged in the developer community. Welcome to Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6.
Namaste!

Hi, I've downloaded VS 2015 Enterprise from my "MSDN Subscription" page, but when I click on Product Keys it says "Your subscription does not have access to product keys for this product.". Same thing happens when I click VS 2015 Professional. And my Subscription says "Visual Studio Enterprise with MSDN (MPN)", Status: Active Expires on 1/31/2016. So can say what is wrong?Anonymous

Too bad it comes too late for us. We started many years ago as did many small development shops with an MSDN universal subscription and Microsoft kept taking more and more away from us and charging more and more and with the Silverlight debacle we decided it was time to part ways. Our software has probably kept thousands of companies running Windows way beyond when they thought they would but unfortunately Microsoft is just making it too hard and expensive for small coding shops to compete any more.Anonymous
July 20, 2015
@Sadjad. MPN program members unlock VS by signing in to the IDE with the same Microsoft account that's associated with your MSDN subscription. The quickest way to sign in is from the 'Sign in' link in the upper right corner of VS. Once you've signed in, VS will unlock the IDE automatically and also connect you to any developer services you associated with that account like Azure and Visual Studio online.Anonymous

The product key for VS 2013 was a single static key. For VS 2015, I can request up to 5 keys. Does this mean I can no longer install VS 2015 on any number of my computers? I will be the only user, but my software assurance starts 8/1/15 and I don't know that 5 installations over the life of my software assurance will be enough. I typically would install it on my work computer, home computer and laptop. Who knows how many computers I will go through over the life of my subscription?Anonymous

@Gary P -- you should only be able to get one product key for Visual Studio 2015, but you can re-use that key as many times as you need for all of your installations. The key is just for you.Anonymous
July 20, 2015
@Faraz Azhar You can upgrade from RC to RTM. Note that, if you're doing Win10 development, the upgrade will uninstall the Win10 RC tools and, since Win10 isn't available yet, it will not install the Win10 tools. So if you're doing Win10 development, stay on RC.Anonymous

Had this open for ten minutes and already found 2 bugs... The usual MS QA at work...In a Visual Basic windows forms project connected to TFS, open a form in the designer, then press F7 to switch to code. Start typing. The file is not auto checked out, and you cannot edit without manually checking out.
Open a form that contains a label that contains crlf in the text property... Designer fails to open with an exception "Could not find type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings'."
Anonymous
July 21, 2015
Ummmm the icon on the Taskbar is the same as VS2013 so cannot distinguish. Nice one. PS bug I described above (cannot edit code-behind files for Windows Forms forms) is a show stopper... I have to check-out manually, close all open editor windows, and re-open just to edit code. Do you even test these things at all???Anonymous

I have downloaded VS 2015 Community Edition which is supposed to be free. Under File > Account Settings page on the right side it says: License: 30 days trial (for evaluation purpose only). This license will expire in 30 days. How exactly then the Visual Studio Community Edition free? or am I missing something?Anonymous

@Programmer. We have details about the requirement to sign in here: blogs.msdn.com/.../10603486.aspxAnonymous
July 21, 2015
Where can we download the ISO for community edition?Anonymous
July 21, 2015
@Sadjad. The Alternate account was added in VS 2013 update 1 to let users access a VSO subscription that was assigned to an AAD Work / School account but couldn't sign in to the IDE because it only worked with Microsoft Accounts (MSAs). In VS 2015 we made it possible to sign in to the IDE from the upper right corner with an MSA or a Work/School Account and removed the alternate account because we saw a lot of feedback that users were confused by this special one-off sign in link. VS automatically scans for a license assigned to any of the user accounts associated with VS Online account connections in Team Explorer (TE) so you can connect to a VSO account using the alternate user through TE and get the same effect. Regarding your product key issue I'm not sure I totally understand the scenario you are describing. While it may have seemed that you could change the account used to license VS, under the covers VS compares a few different sources to try and use the best possible license and avoid locking you out of the IDE. You can email me at vsidlic at microsoft dot com and we can dig into your scenario a bit more.Anonymous

@Luke ThanksAnonymous
July 21, 2015
@Nilesh. Any Microsoft account (MSA) or AAD backed Work/School account can sign in to unlock the Community edition. Community edition uses the same infrastructure as the paid editions so the labels and messages are similar but getting an MSA or AAD account is free if you don't already have one.Anonymous
July 21, 2015
@Patrick. Another workaround is to use your extended trial until we get VS 2015 Professional into the MS Store. Sign in to Professional or Enterprise with an MSA or an AAD Work/School account and VS will extend your trial 90 days.Anonymous

Soma, for the life of me I can't find any documented list of improvements/new features/improvements in the Visual Studio 2015 release for the Visual Studio Test and Lab Management featuresapplicationstechnologies, specifically :
- Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) Lab Environment Management
- Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) Action Recording (for UI tests)
- Visual Studio Test Explorer (for running unit/integration tests)
- CodedUI Test Object Recorder Test Runner (VSTest.Console.exe)
- MSTest Framework There's a uservoice section that was created (and abandoned?) for feedback on the Microsoft testing tools: visualstudio.uservoice.com/.../30927-visual-studio-test-and-lab-management I have several testers saying that various Microsoft blogs are listing new features and functionalities for automated cross platform testing on iOS and Android, new features on exploratory testing features and for the life of me I can't seem to find any specific 2015 documented features improvements. I downloaded Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise trail and launched MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) and haven't seen ANY difference in the WPF thick client, do the new features only light-up when connected to a 2015 TFS server? We have a TFS 2013 server setup and we already have the test hub for our manual testers. (functionality here: www.4tecture.ch/.../what%E2%80%99s-new-in-tfs-2013-web-based-microsoft-test-manager), but has there been any documented list of improvements/new features/improvements in the Visual Studio 2015 release for the Visual Studio Test and Lab Management featuresapplicationstechnologies that are improvements from 2013 to 2015 for the list above (keenly interested in WPF MTM Codedui improvements)?

@Afsal AkbarSha. Community edition is free to use. We use the same infrastructure that allows you to unlock VS w/ an online subscription to manage the requirement of signing into Community edition so some of our strings overlap cross these scenarios. Trial here means the period you can use the community edition before you must sign in to fully unlock the IDE.Anonymous

Your experience does not sound like something I'm familiar with, and I'd like to learn more to make VS installation smoother in the future. If you're ok with it, I'll ask you to run our setup log collection tool and then share the results with me. That way, I can find where the various installation attempts were failing to see if we can automatically detect that situation next time. Thanks, EricAnonymous
