TL;DR: Use code MARCH15 to get lifetime access to Visual Studio Pro 2026 for $42.49.
Coding gets frustrating fast when your IDE can’t keep up. Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 is Microsoft’s full desktop IDE for Windows. It’s made for writing code, running projects, debugging, testing, and managing source control in one place. Right now, lifetime access is only $42.49 (reg. $499.99).
Visual Studio Pro supports .NET, C++, Blazor, and .NET MAUI, so it can handle web apps, desktop software, and cross-platform mobile apps. It also supports Linux targets and containers, which helps if your work isn’t limited to standard Windows apps.
A 64-bit architecture helps with larger solutions and heavier workloads. Big codebases with lots of files, dependencies, and services can get messy fast, and a more capable IDE makes that easier to manage. Hot reload for .NET and C++ is included too, so changes can be tested faster without so much stopping and restarting.
Intellicode and the built-in AI tools are there for the routine parts of coding. Those tools help with code completion, refactoring, and suggestions based on the context of the project. CodeLens adds useful information directly in the editor, including references, recent changes, authors, and test status, so basic project context is easier to see while you work.
Live Share is included for collaboration, so developers can work together in the same session in real time. Azure and GitHub integrations are built in as well, which helps keep coding and source control in the same workflow.
