Visual Studio 2019 includes improvements to the user interface, search functionality, CodeLens, refactoring tools, and IntelliCode. It also integrates with tools like Visual Studio Live Share to enable real-time collaboration. Key updates include a redesigned start window, dynamic search results, availability of CodeLens in the Community edition, and IntelliCode recommendations tailored to a developer's codebase through custom models.

12. The new search experience is
quicker and more effective.
Search results appear dinamically as
you type. Moreover, each result
includes a keyboard shortcut, so you
can memorize them.
The new search logic uses Fuzzy
Search, so you will find everything
you need, regardless of typos.
Search improved!

13. CodeLens shows you the number of references that a property or
function has, unit testing information and data directly from
Application Insights.

14. CodeLens was available as a
Visual Studio Enterprise-only
feature.
It is available in Visual Studio
2019 Community version now!
It is extensible, so developers
can roll their own experiences.
IntelliTrace and source control
history are still an Enterprise-
only feature.

15. The new C# refactorings simplify source code organization.
Just press Ctrl + and select the desired action.

16. Several new refactorings have been added, including one
that allows you to add methods to an interface based on a
class that implements it.

18. IntelliCode saves you time by putting what you’re most likely to use at
the top of your completion list.

19. IntelliCode recommendations are based on thousands of open source
projects on GitHub each with over 100 stars.
When combined with the context of your code, the completion list is
tailored to promote common practices.
It is available for C#, XAML and C++ (VS 2019) and Java, TypeScript /
JavaScript, and Python (VS Code)

20. Custom Models
• Provides suggestions based off your own code – custom
classes and types.
• Share your custom model with teammates working in the
same codebase.
• Available for C#
