A

A

Think that works I.

B

Think where it looks like.

A

B

I think we're streaming hello.

A

And you're not good morning, um it's 9 a.m. Pacific Coast time up in Seattle, I'm, Kendra havens, I'm.

B

Joey rubbish, oh yeah,.

A

We should introduce ourselves, let's.

B

A

People have never seen us before you.

B

A

And I have short hair, so they might think of someone else, so I'm, Kendra havens, I'm a program manager on the.net and visual studio team I mostly focus on dotnet to lean. So that's why we're here, the dotnet to lean version of the community stand up and.

B

Yeah I'm Joey Robichaux I'm, a developer for the managed language, part of Visual, Studio and new to Microsoft and happy to be here, not quite seven months. I did get over that half year mark so which.

A

Is still totally onboarding and microsoft, erm I've been here like over two years and I still there's still so much I learned, ok, anywho how's, our audio doing good, says.

B

A

Testing testing 1 2 3.

B

A

Ok, oh I, don't want to be quiet. Ok, so we have a bunch of interesting stuff to share today. uh Let me go ahead and share my screen and I. Did it right? Ok, so, um first off I kind of want to talk about productivity features that we have. Actually there we go. I'll talk about productivity features that we have in Visual Studio 2019 preview, um many of which Joey worked on.

A

There's one big one that we'll get into then I'll talk a little bit about and code in some blog posts that have come up and that I found interesting and follow me to lean stand up. Okay, so wait.

A

Wait! I, just didn't press the button hard enough, okay cool! So the first thing that I mean I would notice when I open, visual studio. 2019 is the new colorization for Rosslyn classifications.

A

So you can see that methods are different. Keywords are new, so if an else are now this purpley color so Joey you worked a ton on this. I did and I have your PR open because it was so like beautifully SPECT out really stretching those p.m. skills so yeah. So this was adding enhanced color experiment for new classification, so all of this work was done open source on github. That's.

B

A

Did you feel on the spot it difficult to be you.

B

Know had not worked an open source a lot so yeah.

A

B

That immediate feedback, the good ideas, good.

A

B

Sort of feedback is really, you know. It made me excited to complete the future and yeah into all of your hands. I.

A

Feel like was it a trial by fire, because okay I've been saying over and over again colors people can get so opinionated about their.

B

Super important yeah.

A

We were talking they had over, like 2000 extensions for visual studio that were changing colors of fonts. That's.

B

A

Different languages and workloads, so people have gone nuts configuring. All of these um that's.

B

True yet so it's been a community ask for a long time, and there are certainly several extensions. They have tried to fill the gap by providing the classifications for different identifier types things like method, names, properties, fields.

B

We we kind of started with that is our goal and just took it I think to the limit, maybe yeah we a lot of inspiration from vias code. Certainly they had method color. They had different colors for the control key words the the branching like. If and for each all that- and we took that- and we we put that in visual studio, proper, so yeah, it.

A

Was nice having like that feedback on vs code, because a lot of people really loved to that coloring scheme I'll.

B

Admit, I really love. Yes, it was a great.

A

B

And I'm happy to have that in my browser that I use every day, yeah.

A

Definitely um I don't think I I. It wasn't as clear to me in vias code. Maybe I didn't use me as code enough for active development. I didn't know what I was missing, um but now that it's here I just love a more colorful UI. It's just. It's really nice to use I, especially love the keywords that are different because they stand out so much more easily when you know you're using yeah like logic or a for loop or if statement yeah and.

B

Like you said just so, pleasing, like the dark theme itself reminds me of like I, don't know.

A

What am I doing in blue theme, mm-hmm.

B

I mean blue themes. Nice don't get me wrong. Love blue theme.

A

Because I always have to demo things in blue themes, I'm, like oh we're doing a live stream gotta. Do that look how nice that is! Oh, my gosh! So.

B

Some of the new colors things like came away locals and parameters are gonna, be colored in a blue color that that we borrowed from vyas code reg. You know back in 5th 2017 those would have been Wyatt, but now they're blue and you can get a difference between those and the member fields and properties yeah which still keep that white color. So now, when you're in your method, you're right code, you immediately say: oh, this is different. This is property. This is a film. This is not something local to this method, feel.

A

Friendlier to me I, don't know what okay uh yeah, so you have like samples in the PR. So a lot of our discussion happened on github I. Think, do you want to talk about statics like one of the things we learned sure.

B

Yeah one of the things we experimented with was making static symbols. Bold by default, got lots of good feedback about this I. Don't know if the world's ready for bold statics, yeah yeah, we did an experiment. Lots of feedback both from developer community on github, told us that maybe we should step back, rethink this and come up with a better plan for the future or soon they.

A

Really jumped out at you if they were statics, um but if you love statics, you can still turn it back on I think it was. It was simple, static, right, yeah,.

B

So you can still.

A

Like turn it on three fonts and colors, because all of these simple or rather classifications that we added are still customizable they're, just they were never there before strength. So there's simple static. Did we add that or was that there for a while? We.

B

Added that in the 2019 preview, okay,.

A

B

Also see on the screen a set of user member classifications. These are all the new identifier types that we classified so that custom themes can provide the colors that you want. If ya get in there and tweak it yourself, yeah.

A

Because we know people love customizing, yeah, that's right.

B

Yeah yeah they made.

A

It customizable cuz we're a platform like we have some opinions, but we mostly try to let other people do what they. What to do. That's.

B

True, you get to be yourself, teach.

A

There Owen yeah, oh it's beautiful, okay, anyway yeah. So all these user members are new I yeah and you can customize them. Sorry if you can't see that on the live stream, because it is too small fun in my tools, options, um cool, so I think we've covered yeah everything I wanted to talk about in classifications. um Is there a way to switch back to defaults?

A

B

Well, yeah, currently, if you're in using preview 3, you can go under tools, options and general preview features. There's the checkbox to stop using enhanced colors, as we call it in the official release. We're gonna move that checkbox under text editor languages, c-sharp and basic. Under the advanced pages there. Okay.

A

Cool sounds like a good plan. Okay, so we can find it there great just for people, because sometimes people might not like even more colored. That's true, alright! um So what have I been showing you? What is the solution? So I went ahead and I took all well. Almost all of the recent features in different previews that we've had in Visual Studio. So it goes back to visual studio, 2017 update, 15.8 and then I have the Visual Studio 2019 preview 1 in preview 2 features all in one solution.

A

So if you want to follow along while I'm demoing these, um you can go to this my repository on github. So if you want the short URL, you can use a KMS, slash net features. 2019 I did almost forget it here. I'll show I'll type it out again there. It is net features. 2019 and it'll. Take you to the repository that I set up for this two minutes ago, okay, cool! So in 15.8 um we have a keyboard shortcut for a format document. It's control, K D.

A

This will apply to whatever is in your. This will apply all the settings currently in your editor. Config, something were also introduced in Visual Studio 2019 is a one-click code cleanup. We did have a lot of people comment, that they wanted, like different keyboard, shortcuts for a format document and code clean up, because code cleanup can apply, fixes that aren't necessarily formatting issues but are just like warnings and your compiler like unused usings, or something like that.

A

So it's actually changing your code, not just formatting that so um in order to do that in 2019, we actually added these little editor features. I wonder if I should have made my environment font bigger. Sorry, if you guys need to suffer through it, it's the small room at the bottom of your editor and when you click on it, you can configure your code.

A

Well, you can run code clean up and it's ctrl K ctrl E or you can just click on the room and, as you might have seen it formatted, it changed all of my bars to explicit types, because that's what I currently have configured I can also change it to prefer var. If I went to it's.

B

So handy to be able to do that with just one click. Absolutely.

A

Those two popular I find.

B

Myself using it all the times, yeah.

A

Definitely, um and maybe soon will have an ability to not just do that from your editor, but your whole solution- it's true I- might have tweeted about it already, but we're still working out some kinks so um should be good. um Okay. The next thing I want to talk about is in Teleca, so a lot of you might have heard of the intel extension. It offers a smart completion in smart parameters. Suggestions based on the scenario that your code is in I, actually am not sure how many people have already seen this.

A

So if you guys want to come.

B

It's great yeah.

A

Okay, awesome, so if you guys want to comment on like YouTube or twitch joeys monitoring the chat right now, do we have anything.

B

A

B

Ideas that I should add some stickers to my to my Mac. Oh.

A

My gosh, you just have Roslyn what I mean. No, that's cool I have some stickers uh a.

B

Little of Alden old statics really.

A

Well, people can turn it on so it'll be good, okay, okay, yeah, so uh I, don't know how many people have heard of aunt Ella code before so right in the chat window. um We we always download these things at like different conferences like build and I ready, an ignite and dev intersection and fingers, like so many conferences, but we also have like millions of people and I, don't know which audience that's seen. What so don't want to bore you all with umm and tell code stuff but anywho. um So it's a really cool extension.

A

We do want to turn it on by default, really soon we're still trying to get more people on it so that we can further test it and and just yeah find out work out kinks. um It's always nice to have a lot of preview users or beta users. So I told you it can recommend like just smarter intellisense, so intellisense is normally just sort of static alphabetical list, so it would normally start like right, yeah right here at aggregate, um but oh, my goodness, but intellisense bubbles up the most commonly-used suggestions within that code scenario.

A

So it was a machine learning model that we chained over 2000 open-source dotnet repositories, and you can- and it learned what things are most commonly used, based on the shape of the code, just super cool. um So if, instead of like looking for a stringer right here, if I change this back too far and trigger dot completion again, it would say.

A

Okay length is the most likely thing that people use here and when I was at string array, it had been suggesting I use split, so it can kind of detect like earlier in my code what is most likely to be used. So, if I change this to var again and a type of dot again, it now suggests so. Okay, right after you split a string, most people use trim right after that, so it's kind of detecting, like even multiple lines. Above my above where my cursor is what is the most likely suggestion.

A

So if I hit dot again and now notices that oh I'm repeating this code and it's suggesting split at the top of this just super cool, it also does um parameter suggestions which is good because it has like ten different overloads, and so it's really easy to navigate that with quick info and yeah. You can see that the first one is starred and that's how Intel occurred bubbles up the suggestion for you I always.

B

Look for those stories when I'm looking at my completion, because usually what I'm looking for is right there in that list. Excellent.

A

That's how you're trying to do and like um so allison is like the entelechy am. I was sad she kind of be here today cuz. She does this so well, um because we also have an ability until the code can learn on your local code base. I know so um so we used mm just repositories that were highly rated on github, but it's you know kind of out in the wild.

A

It kind of it might update monthly based on what code people are checking in, and we don't have a ton of control over like how the model is trained. In that sense sure.

B

A

So if you have especially if you have a huge codebase and it's all internal to like your company and you'd like the model trained on that, you can do it and then it's totally your own AI trained model on your personal codebase. The.

B

Future, oh, we.

A

Are totally in the future, I never would have suspected that we would ya have be working on this kind of thing in like 2014 when I my first internship anyway, pretty cool okay, so um I'll just run through all of the code fixes and quick actions. So we have inverting ifs.

A

Just all kinds of is statements. We have generally like inverting all conditional expressions and inverting values. Huge one is multi cursor, so that's control, alts click and I can place my cursor and multiple points in the screen and type from that. It's just super nice to have I'm glad that got a big grant out of you. Cuz. That's like I'm, actually curious when this will stop every time. I share this in a talk.

A

I get like it like at least two people like yeah coughing, really hard and they're like whew, like I, got that last month, like this January out ready, it was great, um pretty cool, so uh you can invert a conditional expression. Woops hit the wrong a keyboard shortcut, so I should have hit ctrl dot. That's how I'm opening the tooltips on the side of my screen. I can also just place my cursor in here and click the light bulb in order to see what code fixes are being suggested for where my cursor is currently so.

A

I can convert yeah this to a conditional expression in 15.8. We also added adding a parameter at the call site, so I just added this string to my method, a call and it's which caused an error, and it's not prompting me like. Oh, you can just add that, and it changed the method, a definition to include a string V as the parameter pretty nice.

A

I'm super happy with this one, so I'll zoom way in okay, so zoomed in um so you might be able to tell these parentheses are slightly grayed out slightly more than these parentheses. um So this is removing unnecessary parentheses, because when I remove them, it doesn't actually change the meaning, and we also have adding parentheses. If it's unclear, oh I, don't actually think that'll work, but we can add parentheses to improve. Clarity is also a code fix that we, that is suggested. um We have four loops two for each.

A

We have a ton of refactorings for the for loop, family I'm, trying to think like how we should document this um in our Doc's section like if we should just have one Docs, that's about devoted to all of the loop conversions sure.

B

But I don't know.

A

If that would be too big, but at least would be one stop, because right now we have like four loop, two for each we have for each to link. We have linked two for each and.

B

That's expressions and method calls. Are you.

A

Yeah, yes, yes, yeah, oh yeah, that's right! We have two different yeah linq, query bodies and link method calls. Or what else did people use to talk about method bodies? Yeah? That's also what they would use. People used a few different words to talk about yeah like what links and taxi were using. So the link call for more method.

A

Body is like all in one line, three link and it uses like a lambda and the LINQ query body is when like select and everything on its own line, I had to figure that out when I was writing that dog and you have for each back to for loop. We.

B

Do have a question about the parameter, refactoring and I. Don't know the answer, maybe you do? Is it smart enough to make that new parameter optional? If not, if there are multiple call signs and they don't all provide that? Oh it's.

A

Not right now, but I've definitely run into that.

B

A

It'll also cause more areas in your project if you use that in a bunch of different places than you didn't set the parameter before, although we can I thought, although.

B

It could be useful, I mean if you started using that property and the method or a parameter in the method. Maybe you need to go back and add it.

A

Yeah I guess then you'd know. Oh, do you think we intentionally designed it that way, pretty.

B

A

B

A

One I did not make okay, oh I, meant to say Jo. You should call out the ones that you did because I'm sure you worked on a bunch of these there's, also like 50% of them at least or from the community I, don't know which ones, though we.

B

Get a lot of community to live on your house Lee. Definitely.

A

Yeah, especially um just I, think people sharing their scenarios in perspective is like basically as valuable, is actually making a pull request. Oh.

B

Sure, because if the scenario.

A

Affects you and it's something that you know RIT wouldn't have thought of like. Even if we do exhaustive testing and we have hundreds of test cases covering like a new code fix, there still might be something some kind of pattern that we wouldn't normally use. Just because we all said in the same office. That's right.

B

And you may be representing a large portion of our user base and yeah. We.

A

Just don't know about.

B

A

And we have you, know millions of developers on c-sharp. That's a lot of possible scenarios, it's difficult for one team to cover it! So, yes, that's why women open-source I don't know it could be okay, but we should definitely like log a buck on that I, think or we'll talk about in the design meeting. That's right, huggabug!

A

If he really wants it and we'll probably bring it up in design meeting I could probably look up like what PR, let's see created the added perimeter to call site code fix and ask whoever did that if we should do that, I know they thought about that case.

A

Okay, really cool, so we also have linked to for each I was just talking about this one so convert the for each and you have to be really particular about making sure to select like only the query body like if I include the semicolon at the end, it doesn't actually register. So you have to include like everything after the equals sign just the whole query body right two for each pretty cool.

A

um We have like a lot of things for just navigation, so we have shift alt Open bracket to jump to the containing block, which is pretty nice. If you just want to navigate your code, we also made some big improvements, get to control T navigation, so I hit ctrl T and, if I type are you can see that I have this go to recent files, selection that I can do, and these are all the things that I recently had open, which is super nice also new in.

A

2019 is the ability to view the CS proj in this preview mode, I've.

B

Used this quite a bit because, especially now that we keep package references inside the CS per edge, yeah.

A

B

Just easier for me, sometimes yeah.

A

So much easier, very configurable I believe it's only for dotnet core, because it's a different type of CS approach. What you can also do is double click on your project or, if you just click, it you'll see a preview. But if you double click whoo, it opens the dot CS proj folder, so you don't have to like right click and edit love double-click.

A

Some people were like against that, because double-clicking on your project, node and the solution, Explorer used to collapse, everything um and it kind of makes their flow different, but I think overall, people are pretty happy with it um cool. So those were all the things in like update 15.8. You can still get those in officials to do 2017 if you're still on that until 2019 goes out of preview and we actually release it. That's right.

B

A

Which I think will be in April I think we announced that really recently, like April 2nd, that.

B

Sounds right maybe.

A

Actually, google that and confirm before I, actually, okay, so these are the ones that are all in Visual Studio, 2019 preview, one in addition to the rawson colors. That's a 2019 thing! That's.

B

Right, yeah, Intelli.

A

Code, however, the extension can be installed on anything even like 2015 supports a ton, so that's nice. um So in preview 1 we added a regex colorization, so you'll see in like language support in general, so you see I actually get brace matching within the regex. It's not just like a static string anymore like this one is.

A

It also can give me some amount of warnings, so if I delete that I'll get a little air that says like yo you're using too many parentheses, which is pretty cool, and you can also declare these string as a regex. If you use comments or by using comments. So if I have lingual language equals reg X with explicit capture, it'll, actually colorize and recognize the next line. This mean a part of reg X, and this.

B

Is example of the community how a teacher that I mean just so huge yeah.

A

B

Mean so useful, working with regex can be a little daunting just because it's regex, but definitely.

A

B

This gives you a little bit more understanding of as you're as you're riding good. You.

A

Mean you don't just like, so this is useful for those of you who don't just unendingly copy and paste from stock overflow like I do actually a student regex know so yeah. It's so much more I feel like our theme is like more colors, because regex is more colorful.

A

Classifications are colorful, I don't know, is exciting cool, so I think I mentioned before you can convert for each loops to link. That is the link, query form and then I can also convert it to the link, call form and again I'm, just putting my cursor in for in the for each keyword and hitting control dot do I have any comments.

A

What are the friends on the internet saying what.

B

We have a question where's the best place to provide feedback for Visual Studio features. Oh my.

A

B

Of course, we have the built in feedback button in Visual Studio itself, right.

A

Up here, this little guy send feedback right by my name and I can report a problem and it pops open um a little dialog that will capture some info about your.

A

Let's see oh now, it just watches the browser okay to developer community cool, but.

B

Yeah it can it all capture information about your environment. So if you're reporting the bug, we get some extra detail and help work it out. It's yeah, it's the best best place, does.

A

It always capture your visual studio version, I believe.

B

This part of it, okay,.

A

Because that's probably one of the most helpful things to know before, if you're seeing a bug because they're like oh good, when did we regress that? And you really need to know yeah there's also the suggestive feature button. If it's not exactly a problem, it's just something you'd really like to have that's.

B

A

So we go through suggestions every week we.

B

Don't have a monopoly on good ideas, no.

A

B

Happen to anybody, especially.

A

B

If you have one yeah.

A

So it goes straight: there you'll notice that that really just popped up in a web, page they're, all logged on developer community. So it's developer, community, dot, visual studio, comm feedback and if you're logged in you can actually go to like all the items that you've recently locked and like look at, you know all the different updates that people have done if someone's marked it needs more info or if it's super popular okay.

A

Yeah um another good way to engage with the team is you can also just directly follow file issues on our github repo? That's.

B

Right and this will be for the C, sharp and Visual Basic yeah.

A

And we have a lot of different repositories. So if you don't know what your positive repository to login on it might be easier just to use the tool, the send feedback tool in Visual Studio and we'll triage it for you.

A

But if you want to just create a new issue on Roslyn, we totally look at those and triage them. Every week we do design review. It's always super helpful. If you provide any kind of repros solution, seems an immense amount of time um so yeah we always ask for like the steps to reproduce and expected. Behavior inversion used yeah. So that's like Roslin, oh, it would be all like to lean and analyze their feedback.

A

If you have feedback for like c-sharp, specifically, that would be on c-sharp Elaine, so github.com /, / c sharp ling yeah, and we also give those a gander, cool.

B

Onda from YouTube we have the question: is there a feature to be able to set the maximum number of characters per line? When do you run format? Document no.

A

I want it so much and.

B

This is something that we've discussed quite a bit too, and it would be part of our code style. We create an editor config property for you to set. However, there's been discussion by the core editor config team that they want to introduce their own, and we did not want to have any sort of mismatch there and.

A

B

It's something we've been discussing, it's something that's highly requested and it'll be in a future version, I'm sure yeah.

A

We definitely have an open bug on it on that we're tracking so go in heart this one. It's um Rozlyn issues 15 for 0-6. If you want to upload it or you want to weigh in on your scenario, gosh I would love that. So much I also logged a bug for this. It must have been closed as the duplicate which is okay, but yeah I would love max column links we do have like. There is an extension right now that will wrap it.

A

Oh yeah just inside the editor and it doesn't actually add a new line character which is really nice yeah. So it's just a visual I know it's an extension I, don't think I'll be able to find out right now, but that's pretty sweet cool, so I'll go back to what I'm showing. um So we also added a code fact. So, let's say I am like copying and pasting code from a different place in my code base like a different file. So let's say I didn't actually have like the noon.

A

Soft Jason, using that I needed now, I'm getting code, fix to actually just add that using at the top of my code. So especially if it's like a huge block, this I was just added. It's super helpful to add and if I tried to copy and paste this, but I didn't actually have a Newton soft Oh Jason reference it'll also prompt me to install the latest package. Nice.

B

A

So actually I'll go ahead and show that it's cool, so if I went to nougat and I removed that reference and I didn't have that guy and I had copy and pasted Jason convert into it. I get this prompt to install, find and install the latest Newton soft adjacent, so it actually kind of indexes I think the top 1000 you get packages that are most popular, so cool, so use um yeah and I wish I had those years ago, but yeah.

A

It's now, I, don't know when people will learn about like the nougat package manager' when they have to go get stuff, it's all taken care of in the brown or in the editor yeah. um So we added a few to full conversions. So this is um converting a tuple to a struct and there it is in preview. So it kind of generates all of the code. You would need for that.

A

It's pretty nice, so we have dead code analysis on unused private members, so this is private. I never actually call this I'm getting three dots as a suggestion. You'll also notice. This is slightly grayed out like when you compare it to other method names and the code fix is just to remove all of this entirely because it's never actually used.

A

So this is um adding in a weight where there is an implied to weight, but you forgot to actually put it there. I yeah, that's really.

B

Useful not use that yet yeah I believe.

A

There I'm usually like too worried to use async all the time. So, if I bother to use it I'm either copying a pattern that I know is trusted yeah or like looking up exactly what I mean.

A

Maybe that's sad but I work, mostly in demo code or reproducing don't judge me okay, so we also have converting a local method to an actual method. A non-local method, sorry forget how we yeah so I had a string, hello world as a local method. Inside of my convert to local function method and the code fix could pop that out, which is nice. This is nice little things.

A

We have generate a Deconstructor whoa lots of ears. So as soon as I uncomment that you can hit the code fix, that will automatically generate a deconstruct and it actually only generates the deconstruct stub and it has a not implemented exception in there, but we're getting there.

B

It's a story: yeah.

A

I, have a ton more to do, should I just kind of wrap up and like y'all know where the project is. If you want to keep following along and do the rest of it, I don't know I, maybe I'll just try to go really fast, and then we can talk about other stuff.

A

We have converting and let's see, yeah converting an anonymous type to tuple so whoops, where do I need my cursor, and this is another particular one. Oh sorry I need my cursor to be placed in the new keyword and then it offered to convert my anonymous type to tuple there you go so that's a good way to like know whether or not you can introduce your tuple into a code into your code. It's pretty nice and then again, I can can an anonymous type to a class.

A

So we kind of did a bunch of anonymous type conversion code fixes was that community good I'm not sure what perfect, but it's stand-up it's supposed to be like whatever is on our mind right. Okay, we're super excited, I love this one, it's wrapping parameters. We have a bunch of different options for like aligning and indenting and all of that I'm.

B

So excited this is, there's been so many times, I've been going through code and it's just scrolled off the side of my screen and I'm like how can I, how do I fix this yeah.

A

B

Least, make it easy on me, so yeah I think currently it'll wrap that a hundred and twenty characters- mmm okay or you can also choose some of the other options which include reading.

A

B

Single parameter, yeah.

A

Yeah pretty sweet yeah. We have a few different options here. This could definitely be like more configurable, but we're interested to see like what people most need and want to see in this space um and we're so excited to have it. Let's see. So this would be scene expression, bodies for or block bodies for lambda, so you can convert it to so see how it's like all in one line and it's in the call form. So you can't press Enter and that converts it to a block body or also known as an expression body. That's.

B

Right especially useful when you need to add some more logic in there and yeah.

A

I mentioned we could invert conditionals as well as like, if statements earlier, we have. This is a little one, just converting to a compound assignment which I really like, so it just does plus equals ten. Instead of like you rewriting X, it's just a little thing. I don't know so we have a fix. Now, that's like constant variables cannot be implicit. So it's converting to an explicit this one's interesting. So if I try to do at a dollar sign and then type a string, it switches its dollar sign as I go yeah.

A

It fixes it for you. So it's like an automatic well.

B

It's hard to remember: is it community dollar.

A

B

A

Sure I had to concentrate extra hard to make sure I typed it so that we'd see the things hashtag demo problems. Oh, this is a huge one, so um we added a new column to our find all references, dialog, whoa, docking everything. It's so weird. If you do a lot of demos, okay, so we have this kind column now that or that categorizes references by readwrite.

B

A

Did you do this one I.

B

Do this, okay, I, think you did this one.

A

Oh super handy that funds that right very cool, I'm sure the community reviewed it and stuff yeah, it's really nice, so we categorize what type of reference it was, and you can. You can even like order by this column and like sort by those columns. So if I only wanted to see like read, references I could uncheck these and it only showed me the references that it read from that's pretty cool I guess right would be more useful, but anyway only show me write references boom.

A

Cool uh so there's more so close to the end. I'll just do the rest of them and then we'll talk about other stuff. They said we could go an hour. I got planning to do like thirty minutes. Cuz I'm, like I, don't know they're, just a bunch of code fixes it takes like one minute to do each of them, but then we get talking um so this one's kind of cool I.

A

So usually, when you type in enter here, it just adds in a new a pop, no asterisks there we go not apostrophe and when you normally right the backslash to end the comment there used to always be a space there and it when it actually work so like I'm, still getting an error. But now we know to automatically let's delete the space because it's most likely you just want it in that comment: block it's pretty nice yeah.

A

So do you talked about what you can open a CS prajak pretty sweet and we also have a code fix for like removing and use parameters. Oh sorry, we don't have the code fix for that. We have a warning that it's an unused parameter. You can delete it yourself, but we do have a warning for an unused variable that comes with the code fix to actually erase that line. Pretty nice, we added a new option, so I'll hit ctrl R.

A

I in our extract interface, dialog to add it to the current file instead of just a completely new file, so that little button is new, so we added it there.

A

Okay- and we also have a poll members up refactoring now- this was super highly requested, so you can put your cursor in any member and open this poll. Members up, dialog I was I just hit. Sorry I did that really fast. You can open the poll members I've dialogue with the screwdriver on the side and the margin. You can hit control dot to open that and it opens up this dialog. You select the interface and what members you wanna pull up and it added my pull up method to my interface, save.

B

So much typing yeah, navigating yeah.

A

Definitely, okay cool, so we like ran through all the features low key. That's what I'm going to be tunneling for like the next few months, so it's like Visual, Studio 2019 goes GaN stuff. This.

B

Was good practice yeah.

A

Definitely it'll just be all of those code fixes, but in like a more realistic app so that when I demo, people will be like oh I would use that.

A

That's what I'm going for um so I talked a lot about like our features. um Let's talk about, like blog posts and stuff, that's been happening so I know in the languages. In the last stand up in languages, they talked about uh Anthony D, Greene's, blog post, his exhausting blog post on the differences of c-sharp and visual basic.

B

Just started yeah.

A

Well, it's so massive I despite anyone is finished.

B

A

It's really interesting, so it's not exhaustive, but it was very clear about the terminology, but he covers so much and I know they talked a lot about it in the last stand-up, but I just wanted to bring it up again in case you missed that um it's really interesting so like Anthony um used to work at Microsoft and he had and he's now part of the community and he had a huge hand in the development of Visual Basic and, like we've written many books on like Rosslyn and c-sharp and visual basic, but there can be more written for sure, there's stuff we probably have been documented, and it's really good to have yeah the people who were there, who were really invested in that you'll just doing a mind.

A

Dump it's really awesome. I should link that somewhere, but I'd have to go, find it and in order to find it, I'd have to open my facebook, Messenger cuz. That's where we all chat but anyway, so it's really cool um another blog post that came out was um sort of a big change to our doc site. So I really love Doc's top Microsoft com. It's open source. Everything comes in. Oh, why Ryan I resigned in I.

A

Don't know, I wanted to show you all the edit button ah there we go to appear so, like all pages on Doc's on Microsoft comm. Almost all of them have this little edit button docking at a document button, and it takes you to where that page is hosted and marked down on github, and you can click the edit button on the markdown and just actually like out of space, propose the file of change and like make a PR and it Forks it all for you, it stays.

A

You can stay in the browser, even if it's just a small change. It's really nice. So, like I'm, a huge fan of our Doc's website and it looks like now- we've opened a specification section for people to incorporate like Windows sequel office and SharePoint documentation.

A

Next to all of our other developer documentation. It's.

B

Gonna be great it'll.

A

Be it's just a massive undertaking. I, don't know I'm floored that, like it's already hard to manage Doc's between villes studio and dotnet and asp.net, we all used to have like our own different websites and a free, different documentation and we've been trying to unify it and make it like more predictable, which I love because having consistent UI, it's kind of like the Wikipedia effect sure.

B

A

Ui makes information so much easier to process. This is the one of the reasons I struggle with keeping our tea notes and OneNote, because if you wouldn't use this different, formatting and I just want to die anyway, so I I, don't know it's cool. It's just like expanding the docs epic, the docs Empire anyway,.

B

Be a one-stop shop, yes,.

A

For sure, oh cool, so another blog post, I found that was from the community I was searching last night because I wanted to spine, find blog posts that were like particularly focused on dotnet, to lean, which to me means analyzes, like all of the code fixes that you just saw, are essentially Rosslyn in lasers, in the Diagnostics and everything so to lean means analyzer, so I guess I'll focus on blogs on analyzers I'm. Sorry, if I didn't find one that you guys have seen recently that you went called out.

A

Please chat it to me because I'd love to read it so I was searching around online and I. Don't know um gelled buffets super well, but I really started liking. Some of his other posts and I noticed he had made one on Roslyn analyzers.

A

He also had a super cool one on computing code coverage for Donna coordinator DevOps with coverlet, so cover ela has a global tool now just lovely getting into that global tool game, and it was just super cool, so you can add it as like any old task through Azure DevOps and it he figured out a really nice. um Like visualization with Cooper Tarot, what do you call that again hold on I'll find it cobertura heard of it? No.

B

I heard of it I.

A

Definitely haven't said it out loud before um most things in as with most new tools and news faces anyway, um so it provides like really nice visualizations of code coverage in the browser of your. You know: CI CD servers. It's just super super nice, um but sorry I meant to call out his um Roslyn analyzer blog post.

A

So we we I, think we have good documentation on Roslyn analyzers on getting started, but I don't think, but there's there's so much more past year, first Roslyn analyzer like to really get comfortable I, think calling into like the semantic model and the.

B

A

Tree it's just. It is difficult to explore still and I'm, really really appreciative of people who write blog posts on how to explore that on how to work with tights and Rosslyn yeah. It was really useful, so his blog is messy and to.net yeah cool um and then I just had my project to share. So again, all of the code fixes that I just showed off we're in go TOCOM, slash, Kendra, Haven, slash productivity features, cool, that's all I have planned for today. I know.

B

There's nothing looking over the chat and I think we we got things covered, so sweet.

A

All right, thank you guys so much for tuning in.

B

A

Thank you for participating in chat on both like the dotnet foundation, github in our Visual Studio twitch channel. It's been super fun thanks for all of you who came over from Fritz's livestream, his constant live stream where he lives in twitch. No.

B

This this is recorded. This will be available on YouTube, with all the other wonderful shows, yeah.

A

B

A

They might know that if they got to the end of the video and who knows, maybe these give to the end all right thanks guys so much for tuning in um I'm, Kendra havens, I'm.

B

Julie Robicheaux we'll.

A

See you later have a good day bye. Let's see now I hope.
