Visual Studio Enterprise 2026

Code faster, work smarter. Create the future with Visual Studio 2026 Enterprise. Visual Studio 2026 Enterprise is a powerful, comprehensive IDE for developers designing, building, testing, and deploying complex applications for any platform—including the Microsoft stack.

Your ideas deserve the best tools:

• Productive – Work on solutions of any size with an enhanced 64-bit IDE. Code with an upgraded Razor and C# editor featuring cross-file refactoring. Diagnose issues with improved async visualizations and intelligent automatic analyzers.
• Modern – Develop cross-platform mobile and desktop apps with .NET 10 and an improved .NET MAUI. Build dynamic Web UIs in C# with Blazor Fusion. Build, debug, and test .NET and C++ apps in Linux environments and containers. Use extended Hot Reload capabilities across .NET, C++, and web. Edit running ASP.NET pages directly in the designer.
• Innovative – Next-generation AI-powered IntelliCode+ completions. Collaborate in real time with enhanced Live Share. Clone repos, navigate work items, and stage individual lines for commits. Automatically set up CI/CD workflows that deploy to Azure or other cloud providers.

Visual Studio 2026 is the most advanced Visual Studio yet. Its improved 64-bit architecture delivers smoother performance, faster responsiveness, and resilience even with massive projects. Everyday tasks—like typing code or switching branches—feel more fluid than ever. And memory issues? Practically eliminated.

Inside the code editor:

• Type less, code more – IntelliCode+ predicts entire code blocks, patterns, and context-aware suggestions based on your coding style, project structure, and dependencies. This helps you write cleaner, more accurate code in record time.
• Deep insights into your code – CodeLens 2026 provides essential insights such as references, authors, tests, commit history, impact analysis, and cross-component relationships—right in the editor.

Getting you ready to ship:

• Stop problems before they’re problems – Integrated debugging is smarter and faster than ever. Step through code, inspect variables, track asynchronous flows, set advanced breakpoints, and analyze performance issues—all inside the IDE.
• Instant impact – See real-time test results with an optimized test runner. Track coverage as you type and validate changes instantly. With WSL2 integration, test across Windows and Linux to ensure consistent performance everywhere.

Seamless cloud integration:

• Azure deployment – Deploying to the cloud is easier than ever. Updated templates, local emulators, and resource provisioning tools simplify building cloud-ready apps. Diagnose issues instantly with an improved remote debugger directly attached to your running cloud application.
• Integrated version control – Visual Studio 2026 includes enhanced Git support for cloning, creating, and managing repositories. The Git tool window offers advanced commit tools, conflict resolution, and GitHub integration right inside the IDE.
