Visual Studio 2022 version 17.9 Preview 2 has been released, and with it comes a slew of exciting new features. One of these is the ability to automatically surround selections with quotes or brackets when typing. This feature, known as Auto Surround with Quotes or Brackets, allows developers to quickly and easily format their code.

To enable or disable this feature, simply navigate to Tools > Options > Text Editor and check the 'Automatically surround selections when typing quotes or brackets' option. Once enabled, you can use keyboard shortcuts to surround your selection with double quotes, single quotes, or parentheses.

But that's not all - this release also includes support for three new authentication types in Active Directory: ActiveDirectoryDefault, ActiveDirectoryServicePrincipal, and ActiveDirectoryManagedIdentity. These new options provide parity with the Subsystem and allow developers to access their accounts more easily.

Additionally, a red warning icon has been removed from the ADDefaultAuthentication feature, making it easier to navigate and work with your code.

Overall, Visual Studio 2022 version 17.9 Preview 2 is an exciting release that offers a range of new features and improvements for developers. Whether you're looking to streamline your coding process or improve your workflow, this update has something for everyone.
