Can I use Visual Studio with Unity?

Question

I was browsing Unity and it looks pretty interesting.

In particular, after reading, you can use C # as a scripting language, it remains interesting to me if there is any kind of integration in Visual Studio to use IntelliSense and all this jazz built into VS.

Answer 1

Unity has a wiki page explaining how to do this. It seems that the latest version of Unity should already allow you to create a Visual Studio project (if you are using Windows). However, it seems that only VS 2008 is supported natively. You can follow this workaround to make it work with VS2010 (except VS2010 Express Edition) to some extent.

Answer 2

You can check out UnityVS from SyntaxTree. With this extension, you can code and debug Unity 3D games using VisualStudio

Answer 3

Unity exports the VS 2008 project. I built the VS 2010 exporter to avoid a fight with the upgrade wizard. http://u3d.as/2gR

Answer 4

Microsoft has now acquired UnityVS SyntaxTree and offers UnityVS for free for Visual Studio 2010-2013 Professional or higher.

You can download it here or get it from the Visual Studio Extension Gallery.
