Visual Studio 2022 is one of the most comprehensive, powerful and productive development systems used by over 14 million developers worldwide for building applications for a variety of devices and platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Mobile, Web, Xbox and more. Develop WPF, WinForms, ASP.NET, Universal Windows Platform, Win32, Android, iOS, and many more platforms all from one IDE with everything you need.
With its rich editing and debugging capabilities, flexible workloads, and extensibility via robust APIs, it can handle your needs whether it be for web, back-end, or mobile development, whether you are an individual developer, small company or large enterprise. Visual Studio 2022 is the successor to Visual Studio 2019 and includes all the great features and interface this all-in-one development suite is packed with, plus advanced features.
In addition to providing state-of-the-art tools for efficiently developing and deploying applications in most major programming languages (C++, C#, JavaScript, ASP.NET, Python…), it includes over one hundred productivity enhancements that will enable you to write code faster with fewer bugs.
A variety of editions are available, each targeting specific audiences and integrating with Microsoft developer products:
- Community – Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers
- Professional – Professional developer tools, services, and subscription benefits for small teams
- Enterprise – End-to-end solution to meet demanding quality and scale needs of teams of all sizes
Due to the discontinuation of support for .NET Framework 4.0 – 4.5.1, Visual Studio 2022 no longer includes .NET Framework components for those versions. Apps targeting .NET Framework 4.0 through .NET Framework 4.5.1 cannot be built using Visual Studio 2022 and later versions. You can continue to build these apps using Visual Studio 2019 or an earlier version.
