Xamarin+prism Development in detail three: Visual Studio RC First Experience

Visual Studio RC has been out for some time and has recently had time to try to install it and share the installation experience.

1, uninstalling Visual Studio 2015

while you can install Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 at the same time, consider PC performance with limited space or uninstall one first. To completely uninstall Visual studio2015, you have to download the Microsoft Team Open Source is a simple tool, open source project address Https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller , tool totaluninstaller.zip 1.68 MB.

How to use:

• Unzip Totaluninstaller.zip .
• Administrator privileges to open command command line tools
• CD to unzip directory, execute Setup.ForcedUninstall.exe
• Enter: Y to start unloading
• You will be prompted when you are finished uninstalling

2. Install Visual Studio RC

now no language download only the Enterprise version of the Community Edition Professional Edition download, I download the Enterprise version of the use. Download Visual Studio RCand click Install.

feature One: the installation interface varies greatly, divided into workload, single component, Language pack three tabs.

feature two: take a look at Xamarin and choose "Mobile development with. NET (preview)" To automatically turn Android ndk,android sdk,google Android Simulator (API23) and so on, and the installation size of an instant increase of more than 10G, it seems this choice to install a lot of things ah, the speed is not fast enough is best not to all the hook.

No Xamarin installation size

feature Three: There is also a 3G multi-space is the Windows SDK (10.0.10240.0), and 10586 does not occupy much space. Do not know what difference between 10240 and 10586, so much difference?

feature four: delete an option that will prompt you to delete the association.

3, initial interface

The boot speed is really fast and the typography is slightly different. And the developer news is ready to be collected.

If the start speed is slow, there will be a hint which place is slow, this good!

4, install the plugin

As a Xamarin developer, the following plugins are required:

• Prism Template Pack (no problem)

• Productivity Power Tools(no installation is possible)

But some of the features of Visual Studio 2017 are already included, such as dashed lines. but it's not a hassle to automate documents .

• IOS Remote Simulator to Windows (no problem)

• Enable XAML Language for Xamarin.Forms(down frame. Visual Studio 2017 already supports Xamarin.Forms's XAML smart Tips)

• XAML Styler(Installation failed)

5, New Project

There's a link to open the Visual Studio installer. Prism is still the same, but Visual C # typesetting has changed. Increase support for. NET Core.

The. NET core scenario, which supports the creation of unit and Xunit test projects.

iOS is also very thin, Apple watch,ipad,iphone and so on.

Xamarin's content has shrunk, with only three options.

6, new project launch experience

The first time you use an Android project you may need to install the following jar file, do not know why?

Now the Android Simulator can start loading in 1 minutes, and it is much faster than before to know how many times. Of course also look at the computer hardware.

The end of the experience, hope is not installed can first cross the eye addiction. Because just come out, there are some plug-ins do not correspond, the use of efficiency will be a little change. But it doesn't matter if it's speed up.
