Customization and Productivity Tips

By this point in the book, you've covered a lot of ground. You know how to install and configure Visual Studio 2026, navigate the IDE, manage projects, write and refactor code, debug, test, profile, use extensions, harness AI assistance through GitHub Copilot, collaborate with your team, and build cross-platform applications. That's genuinely a lot, and if you've been following along with the earlier chapters, you should feel quite comfortable in the IDE by now.
