Posted on by Community member 7
On my OneBox Dev environment i been seeing recommandation to upgrade from VS 2019 to 2022. 
 
Before i switch i just wanted to know community's opinion on and experience on 2022.  
 
Can you please share some thoughts especially debugging experience ? ( thats the most pressing issue on 2019 for me) 
 
If there are some really cool features , especially for D365 FnO development , can you please share ? 
 
 
Thank you !!!

    Thank you @Rich, this is very helpful. I have started downloading VHDs and setting-up env on my local machine. Lets see how it goes. I will share updates later. I wonder  who else in community started using VS 22 with VHD and how's experience so far.  If this minimizes crashing debugger improves overall debugging experience, that would be huge time saver.

    As of 7th November, VS2022 is supported.  Recommended process for upgrade is
    1. Uninstall VS2019 extension
    2. Uninstall VS2019
    3. Install VS2022 (specifically including the Visual studio extension development workload, and checking the option for Modeling SDK as below)
    4. Install the extension by downloading the service update from LCS & using the VSIX located at ServiceUpdate\DevToolsService\Scripts
    Whilst this is the recommendation from MS, I've found that
    • it's also necessary to copy the two .Targets files from ServiceUpdate\DevToolsService\Scripts to the MSBuild location (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Dynamics\AX) 
    • uninstalling VS2019 can prevent future service updates completing, so I'd suggest not uninstalling until the environment is updated to 10.0.38.

    Hi,
     
    In addition to the comment from Komi, Microsoft doesn't support Visual Studio 2022 for F&O development yet. I hope it will be supported soon.
     
    Can you tell what challenges you have with debugging using VS 2019?

    Hello, 
     
    It's best to maintain the version of the visual studio that came with your development environment. As of version 10.0.34, the VS version is 2019. 
     
    If you have debugging issues, you might share it with us.
