Any more details on what web technologies are being used in Visual Studio and what parts of the UI are done with web?
- pjmlp 4y agoYou just have to peek into what is running as child process from VS, as node.exe instances. Mostly related to Web stuff, Blazor or VSCode plugins that they are "porting" into VS.
- fuzzy2 4y agoThe Diagnostic Tools window is implemented as a web view, probably since its introduction in… VS2017?. I’m not aware of any other GUI parts implemented using web technologies. Node.js processes are invisible backend stuff.
- n8cpdx 4y agoThis is what I was thinking of. Kind of a telling statement of Microsoft’s perception of WPF when they turn to WebView2 to render newer parts of the UI in their WPF app (which was never ported to WinRT, UWP, or WinUI). They didn’t even use XAML islands for the newer parts, they just jumped straight to web.
