The best development environment for Windows 8. Design whatever you want Visual Studio includes all the tools necessary to be able to create all kinds of projects for Microsoft operating systems, but furthermore, it's also perfectly capable of creating websites or, even, programs for mobiles and tablets. Some of the features of the new version of Microsoft Visual Studio are : Detects cloned code.
Automatically shows IntelliSense , it will no longer be necessary to call forth the tool. Complete compatibility with Windows Azure. Unique IDE with total compatibility to create applications for Windows 8. Full implementation of ASP. However, in this post I want to tell you about some of the new tools and capabilities in the product that have not been available in any other Express products in the past. Finally, you can round-trip your projects with Visual Studio SP1.
We wanted to make it easy for you to write and run unit tests for your projects. This lets you write, run and debug unit tests directly inside Visual Studio.
Unit Test project templates are also included so you can start writing unit tests right away. We added a targeted set of code analysis rules to Express for Windows Desktop, which are the same code analysis rules that we added to Visual Studio Express for Windows 8. These errors can potentially lead to security vulnerabilities or application crashes if the errors are not fixed. For managed projects we included rules that help ensure correct object disposal, comparison, and garbage collection performance.
We also included Team Explorer, which allows for integration with your TFS server into all of our Visual Studio Express products, including this one. We wanted to make it simple for you to use the source code control, work item tracking, and build automation that TFS provides. Express for Windows Desktop includes NuGet, which makes it easier than ever to integrate libraries developed within your organization, or from 3 rd parties, into your projects.
However, I was very surprised and disappointed that there was no free way to make Console Apps, or Windows Forms apps, or anything for the Windows Desktop.
I wasn't the only one who thought this was a problem. Shortly thereafter with a lot of people pushing Soma announced there would be a "Windows Desktop" Express version for free.
He said:. I'm glad folks realized that no-cost desktop software development is important. You can also, of course, combine projects over multiple languages into a single solution. You can target both. NET 4. Why isn't F included? Package management is finally happening in. Just to illustrate one of the reasons I think a free "Desktop" SKU is so important, I wanted to share a cool open source project I found recently called Topshelf. It's a library for making Windows Services easier to write using.
It's up on GitHub under an Apache license. The easiest way to get Topshelf is with NuGet with simply "install-package Topshelf". Topshelf has some impressive documentation as well , especially for an open source project!
Topshelf even has nice Log4net and NLog integration. Anyway, this is just the kind of powerful, useful, and interesting open source library that could be helped by a free Express SKU for Desktop. I'm not involved directly yet ; in making decisions this high up, but I and many, many others inside and out continue to advocate for balance. In this case I'm very glad that the decision was made to ship this SKU and I hope you all find it useful whether you work in open source or in education.
There's more details over at the Visual Studio blog and the team is watching the comments. Your Idea. Your App. Begin your day journey to create a Windows Store style app and talk 1-on-1 with a Windows 8 app development pro.

Weird, considering it was announced only yesterday, couldn't they wait for desktop:? Overall, the fact it's not divided into languages versions seems damn good to me, and the fact it contains some useful basic additions makes it even better.
Keep up the good work! Bartosz Przygoda. Note for all, which are missing the syntax highlighting We've built in our company some basic UI tooling for some script automation tasks, and the Express edition is therefore more than sufficient for our basic use. Glad to know it is back!
Bart Verkoeijen. This is great news for open source projects. Steve Fenton. I have long thought that MS should make more powerful versions of VS available for free or at least for nominal cost.
I understand that developing great tools costs real money. But I suspect one of the barriers to wider-scale adoption of the MS stack by the OSS community has simply been the greater availability of first-class tools for other platforms, compared to the at least perceptually constrained VS Express offerings.
