What s New: Visual Studio 2010 4

1. What�s New:Visual Studio 2010 & .NET 4 Hello my name is [insert name here] and we are going to be talking about What�s New in Visual Studio 2010� NOTE: There is a lot of content in this deck and it is meant for you to be able to pick and choose the length of session you want to do. I don�t suggest trying to show everything as you probably won�t have enough time. Just show the pieces you want your audience to know about. This deck is a �demo as you go� deck. I would encourage you to demo those pieces you like the most (or feel your audience would like the most) and just talk about the other ones. If you just don�t want to do that then the demo slides point to the most likely popular demo (assuming there is more than one slide in that section). The demos in this deck were tested with VS2010 Beta 2 and using the VS2010 Beta 2 Training Kit. You can get VS2010 Beta 2 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx The Training Kit can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=752CB725-969B-4732-A383-ED5740F02E93&displaylang=enHello my name is [insert name here] and we are going to be talking about What�s New in Visual Studio 2010� NOTE: There is a lot of content in this deck and it is meant for you to be able to pick and choose the length of session you want to do.

6. Zoom CTRL + Mouse Wheel New feature that enhances the size of your code Very useful for pair programming (or similar scenarios)

7. Breakpoints Can add labels to breakpoints All breakpoints are now searchable Import / Export now available Breakpoints have undergone some MAJOR improvements to make your life easier. Most notably you can now add labels, search breakpoints, and even do import/export tasks. NOTE: For demo info, go here-> Labels: http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2010/01/26/adding-labels-to-breakpoints-vstipdebug0001.aspx Searching (avail 1/27): http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2010/01/27/searching-breakpoints-vstipdebug0002.aspx Import/Export (avail 1/28): http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2010/01/28/how-to-import-and-export-breakpoints-vstipdebug0003.aspxBreakpoints have undergone some MAJOR improvements to make your life easier.

8. Highlighting References CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW (forward)  CTRL+SHIFT+UP ARROW (reverse) Automatic highlighting of a symbol Can be used with declarations, references, and many other symbols One of the coolest new features that you don�t have to do anything to get: Reference Highlighting. When you click on a symbol (variable name, method name, etc�) the IDE will automatically highlight all the references to that symbol. The best part is you can navigate between the highlighted references!

9. Navigate To CTRL + , Provides search-as-you-type support for symbols Enables quick searching based on case usage Menu: Edit -> Navigate To The new Navigate To dialog allows you to search for symbols by narrowing the search as you type. But it doesn�t stop there! If you use Pascal Case for your symbols then you can use just the upper-case letters to search.

10. Generate from Usage Used to automatically create stub code Enables you to use classes and members before you define them The idea behind this feature is simple, it allows you to use classes and members before you define them.� Why would you want to do that? Well, Test Driven Development folks like to use classes and members before we create them. There are a lot of reasons for this we won�t go into here but this is an awesome new feature for TDD.

12. Dumps You can save a dump file and debug it later, either on the build computer or on another computer that has the source files and debugging symbols Can read dump files that contain information about managed code, unmanaged code, or a mixture of both We have improved the dumps you can take to now support .NET Debugging and it has a great summary page. Creating dumps is easy and fun for the whole family! NOTE: This is pretty simple. Just enter break mode on any project and choose Debug�Save Dump As. Then stop debugging and open the newly created .dmp file in Visual Studio. Point out the summary information and all the great info it contains.

13. Threading Completely redesigned threading window Now provides filtering, call-stack searching and expansion, and grouping New columns added: Affinity masks Process names Managed IDs The threading window has been redesigned and provides a whole host of new features including filtering, call-stack searching, and grouping. Additionally, new columns have been added to facilitate deeper analysis. We will take a look at this more later on� NOTE: This may or may not be demo worthy here. I might want to wait until you demo the Parallel features to show this window. However you can use the ThreadingDemo.docx included with these slides if you want to do a demo here.The threading window has been redesigned and provides a whole host of new features including filtering, call-stack searching, and grouping.

16. Parallelism This next section is near and dear to our hearts at Microsoft�Parallelism. We have worked hard to improve the parallel options that people can take advantage of and are really excited about the tooling�This next section is near and dear to our hearts at Microsoft�Parallelism. We have worked hard to improve the parallel options that people can take advantage of and are really excited about the tooling�

17. Parallel Tasks and Stacks Used to visualize and debug parallel code that is written in C++, C#, or Visual Basic Using the Parallel Stacks window, you can view multiple call stacks at the same time in a single view Parallel Tasks allow you to see multiple tasks and the corresponding status of those tasks A couple of changes to the IDE that show our commitment to Parallelism are the Parallel Tasks and Parallel Stacks windows. These new tools were specifically added to help with debugging parallel operations. We will describe the parallel options in the new features for .NET Framework 4 session. NOTE: This is a pretty important demo as it shows our commitment to parallel programming.

This enables rapid deployment scenarios for WPF, Windows Forms, and console applications that target the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.� �Considerations Target the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile when you need the fastest possible deployment experience for your WPF or Windows Forms client application. A .NET Framework 4 Client Profile application has a smaller redistribution package that installs the minimum set of client assemblies on the target computer, without requiring the full .NET Framework to be present. Target the full .NET Framework�4 Beta�2 if you need to use features that are not included in the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. �Differences between .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile and .NET Framework 4 Client Profile The Client Profile was introduced in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 in order to improve deployment and installation of the .NET Framework. The following table shows the added support in the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile .NET Framework 4 Client Profile Web install only. Local package and Web install. Only Windows XP�SP2 or SP3 and x86 architecture. All platforms and CPU architectures supported by the full .NET Framework�4 Beta�2 except IA64.

27. Code Snippets Snippets are now available in web applications Ctrl+K, Ctrl+X Two major contextual areas: JavaScript HTML Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for�.(drum roll)�we now have SNIPPETS in our web applications! NOTE: Demos are as follows� Create a new web application and put in a script block then create a function with some name and curly braces. Inside the function you can invoke the snippets in a variety of ways but the easiest is to go to Edit -> Intellisense -> Insert Snippet� (or you can just do CTRL + K, CTRL + X). Pick a cool snippet or just show them what is available. In the same web application find some space in the HTML (outside a script block) and invoke Insert Snippet� again. This time notice the context menu has changed. Pick a cool snippet or just show them what is available.

28. Web.config Transforms You can create configuration file transforms to modify your project's Web.config file to work with various deployment environments Ever have a situation where you wanted to have multiple web.configs? How about when you use one database string for production, one for debug, and one for staging? Don�t you hate changing all those settings? Well we have the answer: Web.config Transforms! Think of these as XSLT specifically for your web.config files. NOTE: This can be a long demo or a very short one. I suggest you keep it short as you are probably running out of time by this point. The other option is to cut some of the other demos short so you can extend this one. It comes down to personal preference. I personally tend to keep this very short as it is a pretty deep discussion when you get into the transforms.

36. Programming Languages VB C# C++ F#

37. Visual Basic Auto-Implemented Properties Shortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code Collection Initializers Shortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values Implicit Line Continuation Enables you to continue a statement on the next consecutive line without using the underscore character Auto-implemented properties enable you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code to Get and Set the property. When you write code for an auto-implemented property, the Visual Basic compiler automatically creates a private field to store the property variable in addition to creating the associated Get and Set procedures. Public Property Owner As String = "DefaultName" ================================================================= Collection Initializers Public Property Items As New List(Of String) From {"M", "T", "W"} ================================================================= Auto-implemented properties enable you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code to Get and Set the property.

38. C# Dynamic Type Operations that contain expressions of type dynamic are not resolved or type checked by the compiler. The compiler packages together information about the operation, and that information is later used to evaluate the operation at run time Optional and Named Parameters Named arguments enable you to specify an argument for a particular parameter by associating the argument with the parameter's name rather than with the parameter's position in the parameter list. Optional arguments enable you to omit arguments for some parameters. Both techniques can be used with methods, indexers, constructors, and delegates.

39. C++ You can configure restart manager to autosave documents and restart your application after it exits unexpectedly Lambda expressions are available in C++ The new CTaskDialog replaces the standard Windows message box and adds functionality to display and gather more information

40. F# IDE support for F# Interactive F# for prototyping code Asynchronous constructs Parallel constructs Immutable data types
