"Microsoft has released version 10 of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2026. Both are available immediately and offer bug fixes as well as new features for developers. The releases focus on performance, AI integration, and a revamped user experience. .NET 10 offers better support for AI. A new Agent Framework should make it easier to work with multiple AI models simultaneously. The framework should also deliver faster performance."
"The new Microsoft Agent Framework combines two existing tools, Semantic Kernel and AutoGen, into a single framework. This allows developers to build AI systems in which multiple agents work together or perform tasks in sequence. The framework offers different working methods. Agents can work in parallel, transfer tasks to each other, or collaborate through conversation. A manager can also coordinate a team of specialized agents."
"More vendors are adding this lately, as evidenced by the updates Red Hat announced yesterday around OpenShift 4.20. This is an LTS release that Microsoft will support for three years. Microsoft is positioning Visual Studio 2026 as the first Intelligent Developer Environment. This gives IDE (Integrated Developer Environment) a new meaning. AI-driven tools help with debugging, performance profiling, and modernizing applications in this new framework. New C# and C++ agents have also been added to assist developers."
.NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026 provide performance improvements, AI integration, and an improved developer experience. The Agent Framework merges Semantic Kernel and AutoGen, enabling multiple agents to work in parallel, hand off tasks, or collaborate conversationally, with a manager coordinating teams. An ASP.NET Core template creates a Web API to host agents via HTTP endpoints and includes a test environment for visualization. Improved post-quantum encryption support adds resistance to quantum attacks. Visual Studio 2026 positions itself as an Intelligent Developer Environment with AI-driven debugging, profiling, and modernization tools plus new C# and C++ agents. Visual Studio loads faster and reduces large-project hangs by over 50 percent.
