Useful features
With the new version of Visual studio, there are of course many things that have changed and improved one of those things is the search feature.This is one of those things that was already in the previous version, however, it has been greatly improved, so the search is faster and more effective than before.So now you will see the results while you are still typing, in previous versions this was not the case this will help you find what you are looking for faster.Also, many things are keyboard shortcuts so you in the future easier to reach.
With this update they have also made programming a lot easier and more accessible for you, they now use IntelliCode.This is an extension that uses artificial intelligence that basically predicts what you want to fill in exactly.Think not only of functions but certain variables and names that are predicted, this can save a lot of time and effort.
There is also a very useful feature added for when you work in teams, because on April 2, 2019 they have added a feature called Live Share.This gives you the opportunity to edit code in real time with others, this means that when you make a change in the code that the other also sees it immediately in his Visual Studio.This is extremely useful for both students and companies, as it allows you to efficiently work together to modify and/or debug certain things.Because you can work together on a project it is also a lot easier to correct other people's mistakes.
How to use the Live Share feature
Now that you have read this you might wonder how you can use this feature, fortunately this is quite simple.For example, if you hover your mouse over an error message you will see more information about the error message, you can choose to click on view details, copy details or start Live Share session.If you press start Live Share version a link will be copied to your clipboard which you can then send to one of your colleagues.If he participates in this live session you will see a notification at the bottom of your screen that this person is participating in your live session.
