How to change the development environment to another language in Visual Studio?

Question

When I first installed Visual Studio, I decided to set up my environment for developing Visual C ++. Now I work mainly in C # and want to change this setting to a C # environment.

How to change environment settings from one language to another in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

Tools → Import and Export Settings → Import Selected Environment Settings ...

A dialog box appears asking if you want to save the current settings. If you made extensive settings and you might want to return to them later, you should save them.

Then click "Next." You will be prompted to import a set of environment settings. At the top, there will be default environment settings configured for each language. In your case, you should choose C #.

If you want to re-import the saved settings, you will do it the same way - just go to the saved settings file in the last step of the wizard.

Answer 2

You can also reset all settings from the command line :

devenv /resetsettings 

Then select everything again when prompted.

Note. I prefer "General Developer Options" if you intend to do development in different technological areas (C ++, C #, VB, etc.).
