Description
In Visual Studio 2022, the standard target framework set for .NET Core projects is version 6.0, while for .NET Framework projects, it defaults to version 4.7.2. You can find the selector for the .NET Framework version on the project configuration page within the new project creation dialog. However, C++/CLI isn't included by default when you install the C++ workload in Visual Studio. If you wish to add this component post-installation, you can do so by launching the Visual Studio Installer through the Windows Start menu and searching for it. Once in the installer, click the modify button next to your current Visual Studio version, head to the Individual components tab, and scroll to the compilers, build tools, and runtimes section to enable C++/CLI support for the v143 build tools (Latest). After making your selection, simply click modify to download the necessary components and update Visual Studio. By utilizing C++/CLI, you can develop C++ applications that leverage both .NET classes and native C++ types, making it a versatile tool for console applications. This integration allows for a seamless blend of managed and unmanaged code, enhancing the functionality of your projects.

Visual Studio by Microsoft is a complete ecosystem for professional developers, combining robust coding environments, integrated AI capabilities, and advanced collaboration tools. The flagship Visual Studio 2022 IDE delivers an all-in-one workspace with compilers, debuggers, designers, and performance profilers for .NET, C++, C#, and Azure development. Meanwhile, Visual Studio Code (VS Code) offers a lightweight yet powerful editor that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, ideal for web, JavaScript, Python, and container-based workflows. With GitHub Copilot integration, developers receive intelligent code completions, automated refactoring, and natural language explanations of complex logic. Agent Mode introduces an AI-driven assistant that can edit across files, execute builds, and resolve compile or test errors autonomously. Built-in tools like unit test generators, CI-aware policy enforcement, and style validation help ensure clean, testable, and secure code. Thousands of extensions from the Visual Studio Marketplace expand functionality for database, cloud, and DevOps workflows. Together, these platforms redefine productivity, helping teams code smarter and deliver innovation faster.
