Today, March 7, is a big day in the Microsoft developer world: Visual Studio 2017 has been released.
So, where does DevExpress stand with regard to our .NET products? Will we be ready? Will you be able to download VS2017 on Day One and use your favorite user interface controls, tools and frameworks with it? I’m sure it will come as no surprise that we have been diligently working with the betas of VS2017 to ensure that you can start immediately.
In fact, on February 28 (a week ago) we released DevExpress Universal and DevExtreme 16.2.5 as well as CodeRush 16.2.6, and it is these builds which have our official support for VS2017. So if you are a “real” active customer, staying abreast of our latest releases, you already have the right bits for the Visual Studio 2017 launch. There is nothing else to download.
I’m certainly ready for this new version of Visual Studio. VS2015 is so passé! VS2017 is where it’s at!
