The Forgotten Features of Visual Studio You NEED In Your Life!

Full end‑to‑end work lives inside Visual Studio: clone the repo, create and check out a branch, edit C# and TypeScript, run the server and React front end, debug, fix a LINQ "Sequence contains no elements" bug, hot‑reload the change, stage/commit/push and create a PR — all without leaving the IDE. Demos use clone repo inside VS, the endpoint explorer that generates HTTP files, paste JSON as classes, code snippets, Ctrl+D duplicate, Alt+Up/Down move, breakpoint groups, object visualizer and $error formatters; the flow works and surfaces the one real bug.
