Capabalities With Visual Studio



Following are some of the various applications that can be built using Visual Studio.
  • Console applications: These applications run from the command line and do not include a graphical interface, but are great for small tools or anything that will be run by another application.
  • Windows forms applications: These are Windows desktop applications written using the .NET framework; since they are .NET applications, they require that the .NET framework be on any computer that will run the application.
  • Windows services: Services are applications that run in the background while your computer is running. These are usually applications that will have to perform scheduled tasks or handle continuous network requests.
  • ASP.NET applications: ASP.NET is a powerful technology that is used to create dynamic web applications, often driven by a database. Many popular websites are written using ASP.NET, including those of e-commerce giants like Dell.
  • ASP.NET web services: ASP.NET provides a complete web services model that allows you to quickly and easily create web services.
  • Windows Mobile applications: Windows Mobile applications can run on devices that include the Compact framework; these include Pocket PC devices, as well as cell phones running the Microsoft Smartphone platform.
  • MFC/ATL/Win32 applications: You can also still create traditional MFC, ATL, or Win32 applications using C++. These applications do not need the .NET runtime to run, but also don't include many of the benefits of working with the .NET framework.
  • Visual Studio add-ins: That's right, you can use Visual Studio to write new functionality to be added into Visual Studio.
  • And more: Visual Studio also includes projects to deploy your application, work with databases, create reports, and more.
