Since we launched Visual Studio 2017 in March of that year, it has become our most popular Visual Studio release ever. Your feedback has helped our team publish seven updates since our initial GA, which have improved solution load performance, build performance, and unit test discovery performance. We’ve also made Visual Studio 2017 our most accessible releases ever, helping developers with low-vision or no-vision be more productive.

Hi David, About ' my Mac Outlook client version 26 keeps get spinning beachball ', if this mean that Outlook for mac become slowly. Generally, if Outlook runs slowly, you can try to switch Outlook to Offline to see if this issue persist. R tip: Keep passwords and tokens secure with the keyring package Microsoft has released Visual Studio for Mac Version 7.6, focused on reliability, particularly in code editing.

Our team is focused on introducing features that make every developer more productive: better navigation features like “go to all” (Ctrl + ,), features to improve code quality like Live Unit Testing, and most recently, to enable real time collaboration with Live Share. And we have even started to show how we will use artificial intelligence to assist developers with IntelliCode.

Now, it’s time to start to look at what comes next.

The short answer is Visual Studio 2019

Because the Developer Tools teams (especially .NET and Roslyn) do so much work in GitHub, you’ll start to see check-ins that indicate that we’re laying the foundation for Visual Studio 2019, and we’re now in the early planning phase of Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio for Mac. We remain committed to making Visual Studio faster, more reliable, more productive for individuals and teams, easier to use, and easier to get started with. Expect more and better refactorings, better navigation, more capabilities in the debugger, faster solution load, and faster builds. But also expect us to continue to explore how connected capabilities like Live Share can enable developers to collaborate in real time from across the world and how we can make cloud scenarios like working with online source repositories more seamless. Expect us to push the boundaries of individual and team productivity with capabilities like IntelliCode, where Visual Studio can use Azure to train and deliver AI-powered assistance into the IDE.

Our goal with this next release is to make it a simple, easy upgrade for everyone – for example, Visual Studio 2019 previews will install side by side with Visual Studio 2017 and won’t require a major operating system upgrade.

As for timing of the next release, we’ll say more in the coming months, but be assured we want to deliver Visual Studio 2019 quickly and iteratively. We’ve learned a lot from the cadence we’ve used with Visual Studio 2017, and one of the biggest things we have learned is that we can do a lot of good work if we focus on continually delivering and listening to your feedback. There are no bits to preview yet, but the best way to ensure you are on the cutting edge will be to watch this blog and to subscribe to the Visual Studio 2017 Preview.

In the meantime, our team will continue to publish a roadmap of what we’re planning online, work in many open source repositories, and take your feedback through our Developer Community website. This blog post is just another example of sharing our plans with you early, so you can plan and work with us to continue to make Visual Studio a great coding environment.

When I press F5 in Visual Studio 2008, I want Google Chrome launched as the browser that my ASP.NET app runs in. May I know how this can be done?

Right click on an .aspx file and click 'Browse with...' then select Chrome and click 'Set as Default.' You can select more than one browser in the list if you want.

There's also this really great WoVS Default Browser Switcher Visual Studio extension.

To add something to this (cause I found it while searching on this problem, and my solution involved slightly more)...

If you don't have a 'Browse with...' option for .aspx files (as I didn't in a MVC application), the easiest solution is to add a dummy HTML file, and right-click it to set the option as described in the answer. You can remove the file afterward.

The option is actually set in:C:Documents and Settings[user]Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftVisualStudio[version]browser.xml

However, if you modify the file directly while VS is running, VS will overwrite it with your previous option on next run. Also, if you edit the default in VS you won't have to worry about getting the schema right, so the work-around dummy file is probably the easiest way.

Go to the visual studio toolbar and click on the dropdown next to CPU. One of the choices should be 'Browse With...'
Select a browser, e.g. Google Chrome, then click 'Set as Default'.[![enter image description here]
Click Browse or Cancel.

For MVC developers,

click on a folder in Solution Explorer (say, Controllers)
Select Browse With...
Select desired browser
(Optionally click ) set as Default

If you don't see the 'Browse With...' option stop debugging first. =)

For win7 chrome can be found at:

For VS2017 click the little down arrow next to the run in debug/release mode button to find the 'browse with...' option.
