The language and compiler is only half of the story for being productive and creating great apps and solutions. While Elements comes with its own development environments, Fire and Water, on Windows it also provides integration with Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, for developers who already have a copy of Visual Studio 2015, 2017 or 2019 (Community, Professional or higher) installed and prefer working in that environment.

Note to new users: Intellisense and build/upload are two seperate functions of Visual Micro. You might see a few invalid intellisense errors (which you should report to the forum). After building a project with substantial code changes intellisense will become more accurate. However for some boards it is only 99% but can easily be extended.... Set the "Errors List" window to "Build Only" and/or "Open Documents Only" if false intellisense errors are annoying you, +report your code + board name to the forum thanks!
