Now with Xamarin

Visual Studio Professional now includes Xamarin features that extend, at no incremental cost, the out-of-the box mobile development experience. Xamarin apps are built with standard, native user interface controls, so apps not only look the way the end user expects, they behave that way too.

Any app for any platform

Create applications for multiple devices, PCs, and the web—all powered by the cloud and built on top of your existing applications and skills. Cross-platform technologies help you create apps for Windows, Android, and iOS from a single development solution.

Understand your team code

Visual Studio Professional provides powerful features so you can quickly understand your code. CodeLens helps you stay focused on your work by showing code references and changes, displaying who last modified a method, or discovering whether tests are passing—all from right where you are in your code.

Everything a developer needs

With a standard subscription or annual cloud subscription, you get the software and benefits you need to stay up on all things code. Your subscription includes access to core Microsoft software for development and test, monthly cloud credits, collaboration tools, training courses, professional support, and more.
