By
June 3, 2016
Visual Assist build 2102 makes it three builds in four weeks, which is an unwanted record  for us.

Visual Assist build 2094 fixes only one bug of significance—sort of. The bug is actually in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and the “fix” in Visual Assist is to work around the bug. If you install Visual Studio 2015 Update 2, you need Visual Assist build 2094. If you use any other IDE, build 2094 offers very little. The workaround in Visual Assist is a simple one. VA Snippets…
