This download contains the latest Canary release of Visual Studio 2015 tooling for ASP.NET 5. A "Canary" build is one that is designed to be using the latest bits and used to identify issues early on. This is a pre-release build and unsupported. It's intended for developer preview of upcoming changes.

You will need to have already installed Visual Studio 2015. If you have already installed ASP.NET 5 beta5, beta6 or beta7 that's OK.

The Canary releases are only designed to work with English builds. If you are using a localized build, to try the Canary release you will need to configure Visual Studio to use English.

What's new?

  • Ability to hide files from solution explorer
  • Support for generating content from .resx files
  • Updates to error list to show error codes for ASP.NET 5
  • Info bar in solution explorer to indicate when package restore is in progress

  • WebToolsExtensionsVWD14.msi - Use this for Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Web Express

How to roll back to a more stable build

To go back to a more stable build there are two steps.

Known issues

Canary builds are designed to work with the latest ASP.NET 5 runtime packages (by using * in the package dependency in project.json). Because of this you may run into issues after File->New Project when you try to build and run your application. For more info on breaking changes see the announcements repository. More specifically you can look at the beta8 changes.
