By
June 3, 2016
Visual Assist build 2102 makes it three builds in four weeks, which is an unwanted record  for us. Microsoft prompted the last build because they issued Visual Studio “15” Preview 2 without notice, which deprecated our prior build. Build 2102 is our…

By
March 28, 2016

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.
