Welcome to Visual D

Visual D aims at providing seamless integration of the D programming language into Visual Studio.

Visual D is a Visual Studio package providing both project management and language services. It works with Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012 as well as the free Visual Studio Shells. See the [wiki:Installation] instructions, especially if not using a commercial edition of Visual Studio.
