2. What is a software?

3. Visual Basic Software
ICT-9

4. •An integrated
development
environment (IDE) is
a feature-rich
program that
supports many
aspects of software
development.

5. The Visual Studio IDE is a creative
launching pad that you can use to
edit, debug, and build code, and then
publish an app. Over and above the
standard editor and debugger that
most IDEs provide, Visual Studio
includes compilers, code completion
tools, graphical designers, and many
more features to enhance the
software development process.

7. • The image above shows Visual
Studio with an open Visual Basic
project that shows key windows and
their functionality:
• In Solution Explorer, at upper right,
you can view, navigate, and manage
your code files. Solution Explorer can
help organize your code by grouping
the files into solutions and projects.
• The central editor window, where
you'll probably spend most of your
time, displays file contents. In the
editor window, you can edit code or
design a user interface such as a
window with buttons and text boxes.
• In Git Changes at lower right, you
can track work items and share code
with others by using version control
technologies like Git and GitHub.

8. • Editions
• Visual Studio is available for
Windows and Mac. Visual Studio
for Mac has many of the same
features as Visual Studio for
Windows, and is optimized for
developing cross-platform and
mobile apps. This article focuses
on the Windows version of Visual
Studio.
• There are three editions of
Visual Studio: Community,
Professional, and Enterprise.
See Compare Visual Studio
editions to learn about which
features each edition supports.

10. Squiggles and Quick Actions
Squiggles are wavy underlines that alert you to errors or
potential problems in your code as you type. These visual clues
help you fix problems immediately, without waiting to discover
errors during build or runtime. If you hover over a squiggle,
you see more information about the error. A light bulb might
also appear in the left margin showing Quick Actions you can
take to fix the error.

11. Refactoring
Refactoring includes operations such as intelligent
renaming of variables, extracting one or more lines of code
into a new method, and changing the order of method
parameters.

12. IntelliSense
IntelliSense is a set of features that display
information about your code directly in the
editor and, in some cases, write small bits of
code for you. It's like having basic
documentation inline in the editor, so you
don't have to look up type information
elsewhere.

13. The following illustration shows how IntelliSense displays a
member list for a type:
IntelliSense features vary by language. For more information,
see C# IntelliSense, Visual C++ IntelliSense, JavaScript IntelliSense,
and Visual Basic IntelliSense.

14. Visual Studio search
Visual Studio menus, options, and properties can seem overwhelming at times. Visual Studio
search, or Ctrl+Q, is a great way to rapidly find IDE features and code in one place.
When you start typing the name of something you're looking for, Visual Studio lists results that
take you where you need to go. If you need to add functionality, for example another
programming language, you can open the Visual Studio Installer from the search box results to
install the workload or component.

15. •Live Share
•Collaboratively edit and debug with others in
real time, regardless of your app type or
programming language. You can instantly and
securely share your project. You can also share
debugging sessions, terminal instances,
localhost web apps, voice calls, and more.

16. Call Hierarchy
The Call Hierarchy window shows the methods that call a
selected method. This information can be useful when you're
thinking about changing or removing the method, or when
you're trying to track down a bug.

17. CodeLens
CodeLens helps you find code references, code
changes, linked bugs, work items, code reviews,
and unit tests, without leaving the editor.

18. Go To Definition
The Go To Definition feature takes you directly to the location of a function or type
definition.

19. Peek Definition
The Peek Definition window shows a method or type definition
without opening a separate file.

20. Hot Reload
Hot Reload enables you to edit your application's code files
and apply the code changes immediately to the running
application.
