A complete IDE for Windows, web, and cross-platform development
This is the 64-bit professional edition, not a stripped-down version riddled with paywalls.
- Cross-platform apps built with .NET MAUI, for targeting mobile and desktop from one codebase
- Web development in C# with Blazor
- .NET and C++ projects that deploy to Windows, Linux, or containers
- Hot reload, so you can push code changes into a running app without restarting your debug session
- IntelliCode, which reads your existing code and suggests likely completions as you type, cutting down repetitive typing and simple mistakes
- CodeLens, which surfaces author, commit, and test status info directly inline so you’re not switching windows to check history
- Live Share, for real-time collaborative editing and debugging with teammates who don’t need to clone your repo or install your dependencies
It runs on current Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as supported Windows Server builds, with 4GB of RAM and a modern processor recommended.
This is a one-time purchase, not a renewing plan, so there’s no annual charge to track down and cancel later. For developers who’d rather buy the tool once and keep using it, that’s the whole appeal.
