The Right Fit, Guaranteed

Capabilities of Visual Studio Developers

Visual Studio developers create efficient, scalable applications across platforms by leveraging the integrated development environment’s (IDE) comprehensive toolset to streamline coding, testing, and deployment processes.

Building .NET Applications

Visual Studio offers advanced coding and debugging features, including IntelliSense, version control, and integration with the extensive .NET ecosystem. Toptal developers use these features to their advantage, streamlining the development of .NET applications for web, desktop, and mobile.

Cross-Platform Mobile App Development with Xamarin

Xamarin enables the development of cross-platform mobile applications with a single codebase. Toptal developers leverage Visual Studio’s Xamarin integration, using C# to develop apps on both iOS and Android, reducing time to market while ensuring consistent performance and user experience across platforms.

Developing Web Applications with ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a versatile framework that is widely used for creating enterprise-level web applications, APIs, and microservices. Toptal developers use ASP.NET with Visual Studio to develop responsive, high-performance web applications, seamlessly integrating server-side logic with dynamic front-end interfaces.

API Integration

RESTful APIs enable secure and efficient communication between different software applications and services. Toptal developers have extensive experience working with APIs and use ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio capabilities, such as scaffolding, model binding, routing, and validation, to streamline the development process.

Database Integration with SQL Server

Connecting Visual Studio projects to SQL Server allows for secure, efficient database management and data integration across the application lifecycle. Using tools like Entity Framework, SQL Server Data Tools, and built-in query designers, Toptal developers streamline authentication, schema management, and query building.

Building Desktop Applications with WPF and WinForms

Our developers leverage the powerful capabilities of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Forms (WinForms) to create feature-rich desktop applications for Windows. These modern frameworks offer advanced features, such as data binding, templates, and animations, for quickly developing dynamic, user-friendly interfaces and complex desktop tools.

Custom Plugin and Extension Development

Custom plugins and extensions in Visual Studio improve developer workflows and enhance productivity by reducing context switching and providing helpful utilities. Our developers build these added features in Visual Studio to provide tailored functionalities for your specific project needs.

Debugging and Diagnostics

Visual Studio’s advanced debugging and profiling tools allow developers to set breakpoints, inspect variables, step through service requests, and reveal code behavior over the span of an application’s execution via IntelliTrace. Toptal developers use these tools to identify and fix issues quickly, ensuring smooth application performance.

Version Control and Collaboration with Git

Toptal developers integrate Git and GitHub directly into Visual Studio for seamless version control, code management, and collaboration across development teams. Visual Studio’s built-in tools enable Toptal developers to commit changes, track code history, resolve conflicts, and manage branching strategies effortlessly without leaving the IDE.

Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD)

Using Azure DevOps, Toptal developers set up CI/CD pipelines within Visual Studio to automate testing, deployment, and delivery. This integration streamlines the development and deployment lifecycle, facilitating faster, more reliable software releases.
