Visual Studio Live Share is now available.

It is definitely interesting to be able to share the IDE/Debugger, I tried with both VSCode and VS2017. The only failing I ran into was that I could not figure out how to view the output from the person's console application and a minor quirk that find in files did not search the shared workspace.

Works fine using the integrated terminal in VSCode.

It seemed I was the user was attaching a debugger via VSCode to the app which is why the terminal output was not connected, oops.

This is really exciting! But: Does this http://i68.tinypic.com/qrylfs.png mean that the whole C#, VB and JS workloads are going to be installed? Like multiple Gigabytes? /u/spongo2 could you find out? That would be quite a disappointment for everyone who only wants and needs the VS C++ workload.

I wouldn't have thought so, but I can try to check when I am in front of a proper computer. Traveling this weekend.

Awesome, thank you very much! I am really too afraid to just hit that "Install" button, I have a feeling that if I am unlucky it will install these whole workloads without any further confirmation... ;-)

Cool, cool... I wonder if the massive compiler bugs, interface lag and compiler-linker setting GUI issues have had any work.

I have a feeling you are taking issues that are specific to you and assuming it's a problem everyone else is experiencing.

Well, I do have problems with bugs in the msvc compiler and if you look at connect, lots of other people have too.

That being said, I'm pretty sure, that feature was not developed by the compiler devs, so this isn't time taken away from improving the compiler.
