What’s New in
General Improvements
Debugging
Parallelism
Web
Extensibility
UI rewritten in WPF
Visual Studio is no longer just a CodeEditor, it is also a Platform!
6

as an Editor
Editor improvements focus primarily on:
Writing code
Understanding code
Navigating and debugging code
Publishing code
Editor improvements focus on Productivity!
7

as an Editor – Cont’d
General improvements
Zoom
Docking Windows and Multi-Monitor Support
Call Hierarchy
Highlighting References
“Generate From” Usage
“Navigate To” Usage
Intellisense Consume-First Mode
Multi-Targeting
8

Zoom
CTRL + Mouse Wheel
Enhances the ability to zoom the code editor canvas
Very useful for pair programming, peer code reviews, training,presentations, etc.
9

Docking Windows and Multi-Monitor Support
New docking visuals
Windows can be docked anywhere
Better use with multiple monitors
10

Call Hierarchy
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + K, T
Available in C#
Used to see calls to and from a method
Great way to see calls at design time
11

Highlighting References
Automatic highlighting of a symbol
Can be used with declarations and references, and many other symbols
12

“Generate From”
Used to automatically create stub code
Enables you to use classes and members before defining them
Great for refactoring code
If you are familiar with ReSharper then you’ll like this
13

“Navigate To”
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + ,
Provides search-as-you-type support for files, types, and members
Enables quick searching based on case usage
14

Intellisense Consume First Mode
Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + ALT + SPACE
Used when classes and members are used before they are defined
Helps to reduce situations where IntelliSense inserts unintended text into the editor
15

Multi-Targeting
VS 2008 was the first release of Visual Studio that included multi-targeting support for .NET
.NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, and .NET 3.5 all ran on top of the same version of the CLR
Worked, but wasn’t perfect
VS 2010 now ships with “reference assemblies” for each version of .NET.
A “reference assembly” contains only the metadata of a particular framework assembly – much smaller in size.
Ensures that VS 2010 can always provide 100% accurate intellisense when targeting a particular version of the .NET framework
VS 2010 debugger, profiler and compilers are able to target multiple versions of the CLR.
16

Breakpoints
Can add labels to breakpoints
All breakpoints are now searchable
Import / Export now available
Floating Data Tips
DataTips that float in the source window
Floating DataTips remain visible until the debugging session ends
New Threading Window
Provides filtering, call-stack searching, expansion, and grouping
New columns added: Affinity masks, Process names, Managed IDs

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0
C# and VB Language Parity
Microsoft combined C# and VB teams into one group with the goal of merging the two languages features set
IDE still behaves differently and function vary from language to language
21

Visual Basic 10
Auto-Implemented PropertiesShortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code
Collection InitializersShortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values. (This was in C#)
Implicit Line ContinuationEnables you to continue a statement on the next consecutive line without using the underscore character
Improved Lambda SupportAction Queries and Multiline Lambda are now supported
22

C#
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.
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
23

DEMO
What’s new in .NET Framework 4.0: Languages Changes (C#, VB)
24

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0: ASP.NET Web Forms (Yep, its still here!)
New full-featured project templates
Leaner Web.Config
More control over view state
Access to meta tags
ASP.NET routing
Auto-Start web applications
Compress session state with Gzip
Extensible output caching
Permanent redirects (301)
25

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0: ASP.NET Web Forms – CONTROLS
Control over HTML mark-up rendered by Templated controls
New charting control
Semantic menu generation
RadioButtonList and CheckBoxListenhancements
Persist selected rows in data controls
Control over generated Client-Side IDs
Filtering support for data source controls
ListView control enhancements
26

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0: ASP.NET Web Forms – Cont’d
“Microsoft’s major underlying theme with the Web Forms enhancements is the tremendous focus it placed on semantic and standard compliant HTML markup generation of controls”
27

DEMO
What’s new in ASP.NET Web Forms
