 | Visual Studio was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||

Page name: I noticed that the Japanese page says: Microsoft Visual Studio, but the English title says: Visual Studio
[edit]Hello, I am an infrequent contributor to Wiki, but a regular reader. As the section title says... Honestly, it seems like the Japanese title is more accurate, especially from search engines. Thoughts? Kevinarpe (talk) 16:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
source code editor
[edit]This article mentions that Visual Studio has a source-code editor. Does that source code editor have a name? Is that source code editor perhaps Visual Studio Code, or is it some other editor? --DavidCary (talk) 17:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Visual Studio Code is a separate, standalone piece of software. I don't think the editor in Visual Studio has a special name. –CWenger (^ • @) 21:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Are there any reliable sources that explicitly say the two editors are independent? This article does a pretty good job naming the various parts and pieces of Visual Studio -- Cider, Windows Forms Designer, Visual Studio Shell , etc. -- so I will be very surprised if it turns out that its editor has no name. --DavidCary (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure about a source but you can see here they are distinct pieces of software. –CWenger (^ • @) 22:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

- CWenger, The page you link has two download links, one for "Visual Studio" and one for "Visual Studio Code". That clearly indicates that they are not identically the same thing, but alas, doesn't actually rule out the possibility that one is a small piece of the other, as is common with modern software that is often built from a dozen smaller pieces, each one of which can be downloaded as a stand-alone item.
- For example, the Monaco editor "microsoft monaco-editor" can be downloaded as an independent project, but it is apparently included in the Visual Studio Code download.
- The fact that extensions are incompatible strongly implies "Visual Studio Code" is not simply part of "Visual Studio", but it doesn't really rule out the possibility that both share the same editor component.
- And so that does not answer either of my original questions: Does the source-code editor for Visual Studio have a name? Is that source code editor perhaps Visual Studio Code, or is it some other editor? --DavidCary (talk) 22:51, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- @DavidCary, you're right, they probably share some aspects. I don't know the editor's name, if it has one. It would probably be tough to find a reliable source that gives it. –CWenger (^ • @) 00:01, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
extensibility
[edit]This article mentions that Visual Studio has some sort of extensibility ( Visual Studio#Extensibility ). Does the extensibility approach have a name? Does it perhaps use VSX ("Visual Studio Extensibility") or MEF ("Managed Extensibility Framework") or some other extensibility approach? --DavidCary (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Pre-release version is in the infobox code but is not displayed in the document
[edit]Pre-release version is in the infobox code but is not displayed in the document. Regpath (talk) 04:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Regpath: I think it's because there are no preview versions currently, or at least none on the Wikidata page. The infobox code is there to display them automatically if/when they are added. –CWenger (^ • @) 15:42, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
"Insiders" - just a codename?
[edit]- "Visual Studio 2026 Insiders was released on September 9th, 2025 ..."
We should not just copy&paste Microsoft's language, but clarify: Is "Insiders" just a codename? Or is it a preview edition for insiders only? -- Treichelstier (talk) 08:46, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Anyone can download the "insider" version, It's a public preview version. GWigWam (talk) 13:20, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. I edited accordingly. -- Treichelstier (talk) 20:21, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- I found the last section a bit hard to parse as it was so I rewrote it; have a look. GWigWam (talk) 10:51, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. I edited accordingly. -- Treichelstier (talk) 20:21, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- We should not just rely on the capital "I" of "Insiders" to make clear that it is just a codename. How about my latest edit? -- Treichelstier (talk) 19:38, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
