Chapter 2: Download and Install

Visual Studio
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment
(IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for
Microsoft Windows. Visual Studio is one stop shop for all applications
built on the .Net platform. One can develop, debug and run
applications using Visual Studio.

Both Forms based and web based applications can be designed and
developed using this IDE. The Visual Studio has the below-
mentioned features

1. Creation of an application in any .Net language – The Visual


Studio IDE can be used to create an application in any .Net language.
Hence, a developer can use C#, VB.Net or even F# to develop an
application.

2. Creation of any application type – The Visual Studio IDE can be


used to create an application of any type. (Web-based application or
Windows Forms based application).

3. Debug Applications on the fly – Applications can be tested as


they are being built. The IDE allows one to run the program at any
point of time during the development process. Hence, a developer
can check for any errors during the development phase itself.

4. Extensions – The IDE has the facility to install third-party


extensions. An example can be Subversion, which is used for source
code repository management. Subversion is used to upload code to a
central repository. This is done so that a copy of the code will always
exist. Visual Studio has the facility to integrate with such software
from the IDE itself. Hence, a developer can work with code
repositories from the IDE itself.
Let’s look at the installation of this IDE, so that we can work with
creating programs in the subsequent chapters. Visual Studio can be
downloaded from the following link -
