Productivity Improvements In Visual Studio 2017

In this blog, you will learn about the productivity improvements in Visual Studio 2017.

In Visual Studio 2017 RC, there are multiple productivity improvements which will reduce our navigation time. I have listed a few of them, which I noticed when I glanced Visual Studio 2017 RC for the first time.

Note

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise RC.

Better Navigation – Go To All



A new search option “Go To All” has been introduced. When you click on “Go To All”, you can start entering the search string and you can see the resultant file names, which are listed where the search string was found.

You can also navigate through the available results. Hitting Enter will land you on the file.



Smarter IntelliSense

IntelliSense displays the relevant method/property/event names, even if you type only the capital letters of that method/property/event. You can also filter the results based on type.



Run Execution to here

While you are debugging, if you want to skip some steps and go further to the desired line of code, you don't need to place break point and continue debugging. Rather, if you hover on that line, a green arrow will appear and clicking on that will execute the code till that point.
