  • Article

In this episode, I am joined by Oleg Kharitonov, who shows new features in the Visual Studio 2015 IDE that will make life better for C++ developers. Among the new features he shows are:

  • Refactoring (Rename, Create Declaration/Definition, Move Definition, Implement Pure Virtuals, Convert to a Raw String)
  • Improved Find in Files experience
  • Simplified IntelliSense (show string instead of basic_string<char>)
  • Single File IntelliSense (open a standalone .cpp file to get IntelliSense)
  • Move a line by holding Alt+Up and Down
