Dev Containers in Visual Studio
summary
Visual Studio 2022 v17.4 adds built‑in dev container support for C++ projects that use CMake presets, detecting a devcontainer.json in the .devcontainer folder, mounting source into the container and reproducing the same build environment for every developer. Demo uses Docker Desktop (alternatively WSL or SSH remote Linux), runs CMake inside the container, completes a successful build, and surfaces tests in Test Explorer so they can be run from the IDE.
