23. Call Hierarchy* CTRL + K, T Used to see calls to and from a method Great way to see calls at design time

24. Generate from Usage Used to automatically create stub code Enables you to use classes and members before you define them

25. Improved Intellisense Partial string matching Build locates StringBuilder class Pascal case searching SB locates StringBuilder class 2 to 5 times faster

26. Intellisense Suggestion Mode 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

27. More Code Generation VS2008: Generate methods VS2010: Generate more (classes, structs, interfaces, enums, methods) Great for Test-Driven Development

28. SSMS Inside VS 2010 SQL Management studio inside VS2010 Run T-SQL straight from VS2010 Including Intellisense

29. New Diagrams Class diagram Sequence diagram Use case diagram Activity diagram Component diagram Layer diagram Direct Graph Document

32. Breakpoints Can add labels to breakpoints All breakpoints are now searchable Import / Export now available

33. Floating Data Tips

34. Threading Completely redesigned threading window Now provides filtering, call-stack searching and expansion, and grouping New columns added: Affinity masks Process names Managed IDs

35. 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

36. 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

38. Code Snippets Snippets are now available in web applications Two major contextual areas: JavaScript HTML

39. Code Snippets

40. Dynamic Intellisense for JavaScript

41. Web.config Transforms You can create configuration file transforms to modify your project's Web.config file to work with various deployment environments http:// blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools

42. One-Click Web Deployment With Visual Studio 2010, MSDeploy is integrated directly into Visual Studio Once you have your profiles configured, you can easily deploy to a given environment with a single click

44. The Visual Studio Gallery http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com

45. New Extension Manager Supports MEF components, VSPackages, project templates and item template Download extensions from Visual Studio Gallery

46. Customizing the Start Page Add custom WPF user controls to the start page Integrate Company design guidelines, RSS, branding, etc..

47. Customizing the Start Page

48. Tips and Tricks* Incremental search (Ctrl + I) Line numbers Full screen mode (Shift + Alt + Enter) Customize startup Ad-Hoc regions (Ctrl + M, H / U) IDE Navigator (Ctrl + Tab) Comment, Uncomment (Ctrl + K, C/U) Opening old version of Visual Studio solution file No Splash screen

59. Pluralization & Foreign Keys

60. Model-First Existing Database Generated Entity Data Model Database First (v1) Entity Data Model Generated Database Model First (v2)

62. Visual Basic Auto-Implemented Properties Shortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code Collection Initializer 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 Public Property Owner As String = "DefaultName" Function AddStuff( ByVal first As Integer , ByVal second As Integer ) As Integer Return first + second End Function Public Property Items As New List(Of String) = { “M“ , “T“ , “W“ }

63. 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.

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

66. Model-View-Controller (MVC) Huge investment from Microsoft Alternative to WebForms Modular Architecture MVC 2.0 Integrated in .NET Framework 4.0
