A simple C# editor based on Roslyn and AvalonEdit 

I found myself in need of quickly converting my C# Console application into a Web application, primarily, I was asked to expose our Console app’s logic through an API with very little time to manage it .

🧠 Cognitive Load Developer's Handbook

This paper discusses a fundamental thinking tool that would enable us to create simple yet maintainable applications. We would look at every decision, every trendy buzzword, and every fancy technology through the lens of cognitive load. 

○ No sorting option, or a good paging story
○ SQL Injection, without any other alternative
○ Hard to deploy and to keep current with your codebase
○ Poor development story & no testing story
○ Poor client API
○ Lots of table scans
○ Limited queries and few optimization options
○ Single document transactions (from the client)
○ No cross collection transations at all
○ Very small document sizes allowed

Build Better Apps with .NET Aspire - Complete Beginner's Guide & Tutorial

Let's start building better apps with .NET Aspire! Find out how adding .NET Aspire to your existing apps can help them be more observable, resilient, scalable, and manageable. All in just a few lines of code enable these features and at the same time boost developer productivity with features to help you build apps faster including orchestration and service discovery. It also gives you deep insight into your application with OpenTelemetry and a developer dashboard on your local development machine or in the cloud. We will also take a look at how to deploy your projects that use .NET Aspire and how it works under the hood. Finally, we will look at how to use some of these great features in non-.NET projects such as JavaScript and Python!

GitHub Issues

The GitHub Issues integration allows you to search and reference your issues from the commit message box in VS, in response to this suggestion ticket. You can reference an issue or a pull request by typing # or clicking on the # button in the lower right side of the commit message text box. If you weren't already authenticated to access related issues, you will now be prompted to sign in to take advantage of this feature.

Line Unstaging

To continue improving our line-staging (aka interactive staging) feature, we've added unstage. You can now use the tool tip option to unstage changes, line by line, as requested here Unstage individual lines and hunks in a file - 4 votes

Arm64

We continue to build native support for Arm64 on Windows 11 for the most popular developer scenarios. We now support the .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) workload on Arm64 Visual Studio.

C++

• Available as a preview feature, you can now view Unreal Engine logs without leaving VS. To see the logs from the Unreal Engine Editor, click View > Other Windows > UE Log. To filter your logs, click on the "Categories" or "Verbosity" dropdowns. Since this is an experimental feature, feedback is greatly appreciated.
• You can now import STM32CubeIDE projects for embedded development within Visual Studio with File > Open > Import STM32CubeIDE project. This generates a CMake project with device flashing and debugging settings for STLink. You must have the STM32CubeIDE installed with the board support package for your device. More details available here.
• You can use the new CMake Debugger to debug your CMake scripts at build time. You can set breakpoints based on filenames, line numbers, and when CMake errors are triggered. Additionally, you can view call stacks of filenames and watch defined variables. Currently, this only works with bundled CMake, and projects targeting WSL or remote machines are not supported yet. We are actively working to add more support to the CMake debugger, and feedback is greatly appreciated.
