Microsoft has opened its annual .NET Developer Survey for 2026. The survey is designed to gather insights directly from developers about their daily experiences using the .NET platform. This feedback is intended to help the .NET team identify areas for future investment and improvement.
The survey seeks to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of .NET in real-world development scenarios. By collecting data from a broad range of users, including those maintaining older applications, Microsoft aims to uncover widespread challenges that might not be apparent through other channels like GitHub issues or community discussions.
The survey is open to developers globally and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. As an incentive, eligible U.S. residents who complete the survey and provide their email address can enter a sweepstakes to win one of ten .NET branded swag packages. The sweepstakes closes on November 16, 2026.
