Sometime, we do not need whole installation package, we only want to download those packages, which required for our development, it means to say custom installation package. Nevertheless, this time Visual Studio is one-step ahead and makes our installation very easy. Visual Studio 2015 or previous versions of Visual Studio come with installation packages where whole package downloaded when we download any of these versions. Once we feel that required prerequisites are available, we can start installation. As per Visual Studio official website, following prerequisites should be fulfilling. Free Trial is also available for these two products (Professional and Enterprise).īefore installation, we must consider our hardware and required prerequisites. We can also just compare the features between all these three different products of Visual Studio. However, if we required, all features of Visual Studio 2017 than we need to purchase and downloading it from Visual Studio Site. Even we do not have license for Visual Studio 2017 Community, we can start development using this with limited features. Net Core features and Cross Platform Development but this is sure that we have installed all required packages. We can install it and start coding right away. If we do not have Microsoft Subscriptions for Visual Studio then we can go with Visual Studio Community Version, which is free and most of the features are covered. As earlier, it has three different versions and these are Community, Professional and Enterprise. We can download Visual Studio 2017 from Visual Studio Official Site. That time C# was not existing and Visual Basic, Visual C++ etc languages were part of this great tool.
