Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 Original Perpetual License for Windows

Best Price Guaranteed by Licensel.com, Invoice Included and Always Free Support

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 is the edition of the Microsoft development environment meant for individual developers and small teams, in its 2019 release and with a perpetual license for one developer on one Windows device. The license is delivered with its product key.

Whoever maintains a project built a few years ago needs the environment of those years, not the latest released. Opening a solution without converting it, without discovering that a dependency is no longer supported and without having to explain to the rest of the team why the project file has changed: that is why an earlier version stays in the catalogue.

Why choose Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019

Between Professional and Enterprise the difference is not in the compiler nor in the editor: you write, compile and ship the same code. What the Enterprise adds are testing and analysis tools meant for large teams, Live Unit Testing, IntelliTrace, code coverage measurement, validation of dependencies between layers.

Anyone developing alone or in a pair, running tests when needed, never opens those tools. In that case the Professional 2019 does the same job for less, and it is the cheapest Visual Studio license in the catalogue. It is also the generation to keep in mind when maintaining a solution born with earlier toolchains, which a newer version of the environment would force you to reconfigure.

What Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 is and what it is for

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 is the Microsoft development environment in the Professional edition: editor with code completion and refactoring, debugger with conditional breakpoints and immediate window, memory and CPU profiler, unit test execution inside the environment.

It covers .NET Framework and .NET, C# and Visual Basic, C++ with MSBuild and CMake, Python, JavaScript and Node, with the templates for desktop, web, service and library applications. Version control is integrated with Git and with Azure DevOps. The license is perpetual for one developer on one Windows device, and requires no subscription to keep working.

The debugger: the tool almost everybody uses at ten per cent

• Printing messages to the screen is the slow way to understand
  Every print added requires a recompile and a new run. A breakpoint shows the same thing without touching the code.
• A conditional breakpoint saves pressing Continue a thousand times
  You can say to stop only when a variable holds a certain number. On a long loop it is the difference between two minutes and half an hour.
• The call stack answers the question how did I get here
  It shows who called the function you stopped in, going back up. It is the view that solves the cases where the wrong value comes from far away.
• Stepping into and stepping over are two different keys
  One goes down into the called function, the other runs it and moves to the next line. Whoever confuses them spends the day inside the system libraries.
• Watched expressions are written, not hunted for
  You can keep an eye on a calculation while the program advances. It is quicker than exploring the variables one at a time at every step.
• The debugger can stop when a value changes
  To find who modifies a variable nobody should touch, there is no better tool. It is the function that solves the desperate cases.
• You can correct and carry on without restarting
  In many cases you change the code while the program is stopped and continue from there. On an error that shows up after ten minutes of running it is worth a day.
• What the debugger does not find
  Errors that depend on timing and concurrency often disappear when the program is slowed down to be observed. For those you need logs, not breakpoints.
