Support for Visual Studio 2017

A new version of the Episerver Visual Studio extension with support for Visual Studio 2017 is now available on the Visual Studio Marketplace. We support all editions from Community to Enterprise. Visual Studio 2017 will be available for download on March 7th.

The best way to install it is using the "Extensions and updates" menu inside Visual Studio.

What changed

This new version contains the latest releases of the CMS NuGet packages, we plan to have another version released in the coming weeks with the latest version of the Find packages as well.

Visual Studio 2017 requires add-ons to adhere to new rules and a packaging format to support the minimal footprint of Visual Studio 2017. So there are a lot of under-the-hood changes in this release.

There is also full support for Visual Studio 2015 ofcourse. Support for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 has been dropped for this version, but will make the old version downloadable stand-alone.

The page on the Visual Studio Marketplace contains more details. Try it out and let us know if you find any issues.
