Developers seeking a tool to create and manage cloud-native applications with advanced tools for orchestration, containerization, and seamless integration

About .NET Aspire

.NET Aspire is a comprehensive platform designed to create and configure cloud-native applications. It includes various tools to streamline the development process, such as starter project templates, integrations, and a dashboard for monitoring and inspecting applications. The platform is built to support Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and .NET CLI workflows, providing flexibility for different development environments. To use .NET Aspire, developers need .NET 8.0 or 9.0, an OCI-compliant container runtime (e.g., Docker or Podman), and an IDE such as Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code. The platform facilitates containerized applications, offering solutions for app hosting, orchestration, and the ability to add integrations directly through Visual Studio. The .NET Aspire dashboard improves local development by providing an overview of the application state, logs, and traces.

Radon
Radon
Radon is a Visual Studio Code and Cursor extension that turns a code editor into a complete IDE for React Native and Expo apps. It helps developers build better apps faster by bringing previews, debugging, navigation, logs, network inspection, component inspection, device controls, and AI assistance directly into the editor. Radon runs the iOS Simulator and Android emulator inside the Visual Studio Code or Cursor project, so developers can see the app close to the codebase instead of constantly switching windows. It's built-in previews make it possible to develop components in isolation, while the element inspector lets users click an element in the preview and jump directly to the file where the React Native component is defined. The debugger supports React Native breakpoints inside Visual Studio Code with no extra setup, automatically stopping at runtime exceptions and showing the exact line of code where they happened.

C++/CLI
C++/CLI
In Visual Studio 2022, the default target framework for .NET Core projects is 6.0. For .NET Frameworks projects, the default is 4.7.2. The .NET Framework version selector is on the configure your new project page of the create a new project dialog. C++/CLI itself isn't installed by default when you install a Visual Studio C++ workload. To install the component after Visual Studio is installed, open the Visual Studio Installer by selecting the Windows Start menu and searching for visual studio installer. Choose the modify button next to your installed version of Visual Studio. Select the Individual components tab. Scroll down to the compilers, build tools, and runtimes section, and select C++/CLI support for v143 build tools (Latest). Select modify to download the necessary files and update Visual Studio. By using C++/CLI you can create C++ programs that use .NET classes as well as native C++ types. C++/CLI is intended for use in console applications.
