Roslyn provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs. It enables building code analysis tools with the same APIs that are used by Visual Studio.

Language Design Discussion

We are now taking language feature discussion in other repositories:

• https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang for C# specific issues
• https://github.com/dotnet/vblang for VB-specific features
• https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang for features that affect both languages

Discussion about the transition of language design to the new repos is at dotnet#18002.

Download C# and Visual Basic

Want to start developing in C# and Visual Basic? Download Visual Studio 2019, which has the latest features built-in. There are also prebuilt Azure VM images available with Visual Studio 2019 already installed.

To install the latest release without Visual Studio, download the .NET SDK nightlies.

See what's new with the C# and VB compilers.
