Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise (15.3), 201715.3

Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise (15.3), 201715.3
Version 15.3 is more user-friendly when users download data offline, including progress display. If a download error occurs, enter R to download the data and try again, continue to download the completed job in the current download box, and check and fix the offline file with the -- layout parameter. The download box will not automatically exit after the download is complete, instead, wait for the input of any key. This is a Chinese language download for version 15.3. Version 15.3 has made great progress in terms of download speed and stability, and will not encounter downloading a component package in the middle, in addition, the downloaded component package is more rigorous than that of version 15.2. If a package downloaded in version 15.2 is incomplete, the download tool does not strictly check each file, in the new version, the fix parameter check is more rigorous. This time, the offline package of the general component Chinese language is downloaded, and the file size is 24.2 GB, note that the file name length of one package exceeds the limit. When copying or moving an offline package, this offline package (Kb) cannot be moved. Pay attention when backing up files, you can use the tool for mobile replication, or use the download tool to re-redirect and run offline commands in the directory where you want to create data packets.

Improvement on auxiliary functions of new features in this version

We have solved more than 1700 auxiliary functions in this version, making Visual Studio easier to access than ever before.

• Now you can access the "Blue (extra contrast)" topic (figure 1), which fine-tuned some colors, users who want to use a higher contrast During encoding are more comfortable in Color comparison.

  (Figure 1) "blue (additional contrast)" Subject

   

• You can use the Visual Studio editor to discover and navigate between text modifiers through the new "show line comments" command set. You can find this new feature in the editor context menu (figure 2. See the Visual Studio editor for details.

  (Figure 2) display line comments

   

Improvement of Visual Studio IDE

• Added the "keyboard assist function" menu command under the "help" menu. This facilitates online documentation on helper function prompts and tips.

• Now, the diagnostic system notifies users of extensions that may involve unexpected termination of Visual Studio through the Information bar (Figure 3 ). The information Bar provides termination information and asks if you want to disable suspicious extensions.

  (Figure 3) Information bar notification

   

• In the Open folder solution, you can select the desired debugging program through the dedicated UI.

• Some settings (such as tool window layout) are not shared between different parallel installations in Visual Studio 2017 ), the method is to set "CurrentSettings. the location of the vssettings file is changed to an installed folder similar to "% localappdata % \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 15.0 _ xxxxxxxx \ Settings.

  Note: You can use the new setup specific to the installation when you are completely new. When you install and upgrade existing Visual Studio 2017 to the latest update, it uses the existing shared location. If you have a parallel installation of Visual Studio 2017 and want to use a new setup file location specific to the installation, follow these steps: 1. after the upgrade, use the import/export Wizard to export all existing settings to a location outside the "% localappdata % \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 15.0 _ xxxxxxxx" folder.

• Fixed the "Hide window" bug that caused Visual Studio to appear before the main window.

• Expanded the clickable target area to eliminate notification prompts more easily.

. Net ide Improvement

• Added several new architectures and quick fixes, such as "resolving merge conflicts", "adding null check", and "adding Parameters. See the refactoring, code generation, and quick operation pages in Visual Studio to view the complete list.
• We recommend that you use the variables in intelliisense to quickly name variables. For examplePerson person.
• "Edit and continue" now supports the C #7.0 feature (except for local functions ).
• For. NET Core, file configuration outside the project folder is added.

Logon and identity Improvement

• Fixed the account selector control, and "re-input creden。" was more reliable. (In some cases, the account selector clears accounts when re-entering creden. This patch should be able to resolve this issue .)

Start page

• Expanded the "Start" Page MRU "fixed" clicktarget area, so that you can more easily fix the items of interest to the top of MRU.

Lightweight solution Loading

• This improves the generation speed and stability.
• Reduces the number of loaded projects.
• We added a new option (figure 4) that allows Visual Studio to determine the best solution for users.

(Figure 4) lightweight solution loading options

 

• We added a file search result solution to search for delayed projects, not just loading projects.
  • There are some restrictions on this:
    • Searches are not extended to files and do not include progressive results, such as classes and methods.
    • The files belonging to the project are displayed as a simple list. If the file belongs to a folder, in addition to the file name, the relative path is displayed.
    • There is no context menu for file items in the search view.
  • When a project is loaded, all existing searches are refreshed to add progress results.
• Now, GoTo All and GoTo Files display the content of external items in the workspace.
• We have improved Batch generation in projects that use LSL.

Install

• The Visual Studio installer now supports high DPI scaling at a level less than 150%.
• vswhere.exeThe executable file is updated to exclude preview instances by default.--prereleaseIncluding preview instances.
• CLI can handle--verify``--fixAnd--clean.
  • --verifyThe layout is verified and the user is notified of missing or invalid loads.
  • --fixVerifies the layout and re-downloads the missing or invalid packages.
  • --cleanWill delete outdated packages and allow users to crop the layout to a specific version range.
• The drive size in the installer tooltip has been removed (figure 5 ).

(Figure 5) Size of the drive listed in the installer

 

Open the folder and CMake Tool

• This improves the stability of switching between folders and solutions.
• Open the folder extension control to add the source control icon to the folder. In this way, you can quickly view the source control status of files in Solution Explorer. This operation is currently implemented by SVN.
• The CMake experience in Visual Studio has been updated. You can use CMake 3.8 now.
• For C ++ projects using MinGW or Cygwin, the editing, generation, and debugging support in "Open folder" is improved.
• Added support to define global and configuration-specific environment variables in CppProperties. json and CMakeSettings. json. Debugging configurations defined in "launch. vs. json" and tasks in "tasks. vs. json" can use these environment variables.
• The CMake tool of Visual Studio is enhanced to support CTest integration.
• Now you can use the Ninja generator of CMake and the functions that can be easily used for 64-bit platforms, generation, debugging, and editing through intelliisense.

Visual Studio Editor

• Solved the following problem: if other tools prompt that they are active, intelliisense disappears.
• Fixed the problem that it was difficult to manually scroll and select when a large number of errors were added.
• A new variant of the blue topic is added to meet the needs of users who want to use a higher contrast in the Visual Studio editor. If you do not want to use or do not need full high contrast mode, this topic provides a higher contrast than a regular "blue" topic. You can use this topic through tools> Options> environment> generic.
• If you use a screen reader, you can now navigate between modifiers by using the new "display line comment" command.
  • To activate the function, select "show line comment "(Ctrl+K,Ctrl+M). In this case, a pop-up window decorated on the description line appears in the editor.
  • UseCtrl+K,Ctrl+ Right/Left ArrowIn the left-side navigation pane.
  • You can also use the "Display Structure" commandCtrl+K,Ctrl+GYou can easily find the context in the code. It displays the structure context of the code line in the pop-up window where the insertion point is located and can be read by the screen reader.
