July 22, 2016
Visual Assist build 2107 is a yard-sale of builds—it offers something useful to everyone but has no theme to its entire set of offerings. I describe a few improvements in this post. You will need to visit our what’s-new page or release notes to learn about all of them.
If you are a fan of the Smart Select commands in Visual Assist, you will appreciate the more intelligent versions in build…
Visual Assist build 2102 is available
June 3, 2016
Visual Assist build 2102 makes it three builds in four weeks, which is an unwanted record for us. Microsoft prompted the last build because they issued Visual Studio “15” Preview 2 without notice, which deprecated our prior build. Build 2102 is our…

Visual Assist build 2094 is available
March 28, 2016
Visual Assist build 2094 fixes only one bug of significance—sort of. The bug is actually in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and the “fix” in Visual Assist is to work around the bug. If you install Visual Studio 2015 Update 2, you need Visual Assist build…
Visual Assist build 2093 is available
March 18, 2016
Visual Assist build 2093 is our second build of 2016—the year—and includes official support for Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 RC. If you read the previous post in this blog, you know builds of Visual Assist that work in one flavor of an IDE, e.g. Visual Studio 2013 RC, “work” in all flavors, but a new flavor isn’t officially supported, nor do all features of Visual…
