Visual Studio is the main Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It can be used to develop console and GUI applications along with Windows Forms applications, web sites, web applications, and web services.

The newest version, Visual Studio 2010 has new and enhanced features that simplify the entire development process from design to deployment. You can customize your workspace with multiple monitor support and create rich applications for SharePoint and the Web. Target multiple versions of the .NET Framework with the same tool and eliminate the dreaded "no repro" problem with IntelliTrace.
