Visual Studio For Mac Os X 10.6.8

-->

The Ultimate Guide to Using Visual Studio on a Mac. Visual Studio doesn’t run natively on OS X, so my first step was to get Windows running on my MacBook Pro.

released July 24, 2019

New Features

Installer

  • We updated the phrasing from 'tool belt' on the rotating banner, to 'toolkit'.
  • We've included updated translations for new strings.

Editor

  • We have added IntelliSense type filtering to Visual Studio 2019 for Mac, which allows you to filter your IntelliSense list based upon the type of completion, such as method, struct, snippet etc.
  • We have added the option to 'show import items' in the IntelliSense completion list. This options adds the ability to display completions provided by libraries which are not yet imported into your project. For example, If you do not have 'System.IO' imported, typing 'file' will allow you to select 'File.Open' and import the correct library for that completion.
  • We have added the ability to trigger the IntelliSense completion list upon deletion of a character. This will cause the IntelliSense menu to appear when you hit the delete key, as opposed to having to manually trigger it with 'control-space'
  • We have added support for column rulers in the new C# editor.

New XAML Editor

Both Android XML resources and Forms XAML files editing are now powered by Visual Studio for Mac’s new editor. The Xamarin.Forms XAML editing experience on Mac is now powered by the same engine that drives WPF, UWP, and Xamarin.Forms IntelliSense on Windows. This brings several enhancements to Xamarin.Forms developers. Enhancements such as improved matching, binding/commanding IntelliSense, and light bulb suggestions. Additionally, code navigation, linting, resource completion, and markup extension completion also underwent ameliorations.

In addition:

  • For Android, we are bringing the same editor enhancements present on Visual Studio to the Mac as well. This includes improved IntelliSense, go-to-definition, and semantic editing of your files.
  • For Forms, this release features a preview version of the Visual Studio XAML language service ported to Visual Studio for Mac which drastically improves the editing experience of Forms XAML files.

See the New Xamarin.Forms XAML IntelliSense in Visual Studio for Mac blog post for more details and let us know what you think by providing feedback and suggestions.

  • 'Show Test Source Code' does nothing if you right click a test class name.
  • 'Run Test' does not run the test if a compile is required.
  • We fixed an issue where the debugger doesn't open a file on failure during test debugging.

Installer

We squashed a handful of behind-the-scenes bugs in the installer.

Updater

We fixed the following issues with the updater:

  • Progress indicator was empty after an unsuccessful download.
  • Updater does not wait for IDE to exit before installing updates.

Known Issues

  • After adding a new file using the Razor Component file template, the project may fail to build. The issue is caused by some unneeded elements in the project file (.csproj file), remove elements referencing the new file from the project file, and the project should build successfully.
  • When developing ASP.NET Core projects, if .NET Core SDK 3.1 Preview is installed, https connections may be refused. The browser may not launch, or when using docker, certificate errors are shown. To workaround this, run the following commands in the terminal; dotnet dev-certs https —clean and then dotnet dev-certs https —trust.
  • Pressing backspace does not delete a watch from the Watches pad.
