Visual Studio has evolved over several versions, starting in 1997. It originally bundled programming languages like Visual J++ for Java and Active Server Pages for dynamic web sites. Visual Studio .NET introduced in 2002 added support for managed code and the .NET Framework, allowing code to be compiled to an intermediate language and run on different platforms. Later versions added support for technologies like ASP.NET, generics, and UML activity diagrams. Visual Studio has a plugin architecture that allows additional functionality to be added and provides core services for the integrated development environment.

2. Background
Visual Studio 97
- Bundling many of its programming language Microsoft came up with
the two edition Visual studio Professional and Visual Studio Enterprises
- Included with Visual J++1.1 for java programming and for creating
Dynamically generated web sites using Active Server Pages
- Include multiple language Visual J++, InterDev and MSDN Library in
same environment named as Developer studio
- Visual C++,Visual Basic and Visual FoxPro include separate IDEs

3. Visual Studio 6.0
- Application Performance Explorer
- Automation Manager
- Microsoft Visual Modeler
- Visual Studio Analyzer
Visual Studio .NET
- Introduced with managed code development environment using .NET
Framework.
- No need to compile the code into machine language but use to convert to
Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) or Common Intermediate Language
(CIL)
- It use to compile while execution
- Can be run on different platforms like Linux or Mac OS X

SWOT Analysis

6. Architecture
- Visual Studio does not support any programming language, Instead it
allows the plugging of functionality coded as VSPackage.
- This functionalities are provided as Services
- Visual Studio is Integrated with IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) from Microsoft
- IDE service include SVsSolution, SVsUIShell and SVsShell
- SVsSolution: Enumerate Project and Solution
- SVsUIShell: Provide windowing and UI functionality
- SVsShell: Registration of VSPackages.
- Visual Studio can run multiple Instance of environment

7. Idea’s
In Visual Studio what .NET stands for???
- .NET stand for Networking aspect of technology. The “Dot-Com” was
synonymous with the internet that time and so “Dot-NET” came up.
Visual Studio can also be said as Start – Code – Build – Test- Collaborate
