Install and configure the VS2015 development environment and the vs2015 Development Environment

I. Introduction

In order to avoid outdated introductions on the Internet and mislead beginners, this time, we will reorganize the updates and installation processes of various versions of the C # development environment by the end of June 2016. The objective is to let beginners who are interested in C # Know What is outdated, what is the latest, and what are the traps intentionally dug for you by someone with ulterior motives.

First, let's talk about the official website of VS2015 (this is step 1st about VS2015 and what it can do ):

Where:

VS2015 Enterprise (including Update3) is the most comprehensive commercial version with unlimited performance.

Note: Microsoft's VS2015 Community (including Update3) is a full-featured free version. Its role is the same as that of free Eclipse provided by IBM. If you can tolerate performance constraints, if you want to play with open-source architectures that nobody is responsible for, and if you want to use open-source programs directly, if you want to use 0% of your investment to earn 100% of the profits (haha, there may be a lot of people with these ideas in China ),......, For C # developers, VS2015 Community is the first choice; for Java developers, Eclipse is the first choice. Why? The reason is simple. Neither Microsoft nor IBM will bother you, as long as your users can endure your hodgedge.

However, if you want to make the developed system stable and reliable, use the paid Enterprise Edition (which can be cracked when learning ). This blog introduces this version (VS2015 Simplified Chinese Enterprise Edition ).

Iii. What can VS2015 do?

Here is a brief introduction of what applications can be developed with VS2015 Simplified Chinese Enterprise Edition (with Update3.

1. Develop classic applications

2. Personal Development or team development

For personal development or learning, and want to use all the functions, you only need to install VS2015 on the local machine. Installation environment requirements: Win7 (SP1 and above) and Win10 can be used. However, we recommend that you use the Win10 Operating System (any version of Win10 can be used ).

For team development (for example, when dozens of people develop the same application at the same time), in addition to installing VS2015 on personal development computers, you also need to install [Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 update 3] on the Server. The operating system of the Server must be Windows Server 2012 (preferred) or Windows Server 2012 R2 (2nd selected ), note that TFS 2015 does not currently support Windows Server 2013 (I have not tested it ).

3. Develop Android and iOS applications
