23. 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. as an Editor – Cont’d
30. Breakpoint Labels Importing/Exporting Breakpoints Pinned DataTips Can add labels to breakpoints All breakpoints are now searchable Floating Data Tips DataTips that float in the source window Floating DataTips remain visible until the debugging session ends Debugging Improvements
32. Traditional debuggers show you the state of your application at the current time IntelliTrace runs in the background, recording important events Allows you to look back at past states of the application where events of interest have been recorded What is it…?
33. The effect of a problem might not be noticeable until much later in the run of your application. Trace files can be created by IntelliTrace or Test Manager and given to developers. Why…?
