April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15Hopefully you’ve seen our support for debugging C++ code on Android in Visual Studio 2015. Now in our RC release we’re pleased to announce that we’ve added support for natvis files to help visualize your native types.
Customers using our previous CTP versions let us know that having natvis support for common classes such as the Standard Template Library (STL) container classes (e.g.
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15Following up on our previous announcement that Visual Studio added support for debugging C++ on Android we are excited to announce that we now support debugging C++ on iOS as well. Before continuing I would recommend reading the Visual Studio C++ support for iOS announcement and the instructions for how to set up your environment to enable Visual Studio to deploy,
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15You will have seen by now that we have added support for debugging C++ on Android and debugging C++ on iOS debugging C++ on iOS from Visual Studio 2015. As part of this work, we have developed a Visual Studio debug engine that is capable of communicating with both GDB and LLDB from Visual Studio.
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15Continuing our investment in Visual C++ cross-platform mobile, starting with VS2015 RC (download here) we are pleased to announce support for building iOS applications using Visual Studio. Our iOS targeting story is definitely work in progress, and this feature enablement shares our current line of thinking.
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15With the release of Visual Studio 2015 RC, we wanted to provide an update on the progress of resumable functions support in Visual C++. Since last time, we have made some changes to our experimental implementation that tracks the latest proposal (with the exception that resumable_traits and resumable_handle are called coroutine_traits and coroutine_handle as in earlier proposal).
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15Visual Studio 2015 RC is now available, so it’s time for updated feature tables! (I previously blogged about Core features in 2015 Preview and STL features in 2015 CTP1.)

April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15As you may have heard, Visual Studio 2015 introduces GDB support for Android development. The interesting thing about the capability is that because it debugs using GDB, it’s possible to adapt the implementation to debug other targets that support GDB debugging as well (e.g.
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15Hello C++ World!
With the release of RC today, we’ve got a whole bunch of goodies in the IDE, not the least of which is refactoring as well as a really neat feature we like to call Single-File IntelliSense, where you can simply open a file (not needing a VC project) and take advantage of browsing,
April 29, 2015Apr 29, 201504/29/15One of the frequently requested MFC features (and by the way, thanks for the feedback and keep it coming!) is the ability to intelligently resize dialogs and their content at runtime.
One approach is to intercept WM_SIZE message of the parent dialog and recalculate the size and position of the child controls accordingly.
