[MS] My favorite features in Visual Studio 17.8 - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

It was a busy week for the Visual Studio team, preparing for both Ignite and .NET Conf. And releasing the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 which is now up to version 17.8. There were lots of announcements of cool new features, AI enhancements, performance improvements, and much more. That was a lot to digest, so I thought I’d bring attention to some of my favorites.

Case-preserving find and replace

When you do a replacement, you can now preserve the original casing of each match in your code. Note that to get Pascal case and Camel case, your replacement string must also be in Pascal case or Camel case. Toggle case preservation in the Replace window with Alt+V or by clicking on the ‘Preserve case’ option. Here’s what it looks like in the Quick Replace UI (Ctrl+H).

Rich pull request experience

This feature has been in development for a while and has been part of the preview for both 17.7 and 17.8. Now it’s finally here and it’s glorious. Not only can you create pull requests directly from inside Visual Studio, but you also get both GitHub and Azure DevOps support as well.

This is such a rich and natural way to send pull requests and it compliments my workflow well. Those are my two picks that I think you might enjoy as much as I have. Give them a try, and as always, let me know what your favorite features are in the comments below. If you haven’t installed Visual Studio 17.8 yet, then open the installer and hit the Update button or download Visual Studio here.

In the world of software development, security is paramount. As developers, we strive to write clean, efficient, and most importantly, secure code. GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps has always been at the forefront of providing tools that make it easier to build and release high-quality software.
