Getting the Most Out of .NET Development with Visual Studio
summary
Live demos show Visual Studio 17.14 using GitHub Copilot features: agent mode executes multi-step tasks (it scaffolds and implements a Blazor product details page, iteratively builds and fixes errors, and can commit changes), MCP server integrations pull GitHub issues and Microsoft Docs for up-to-date context, and next edit suggestions plus adaptive paste convert Java -> C# and refactor names across files. Copilot also generates tests (about 139 tests in the demo, roughly ~70% coverage estimated), with some failures that it iterates to fix.
