extending the visual studio 2010 code editor to visualize runtime intelligence - cnug
DESCRIPTION
Come see how PreEmptive Solutions built an editor extension for Visual Studio 2010 that provides in-line visualizations of usage and stability data collected from applications in production via Runtime Intelligence Services. Learn about the new code editor’s extensibility model, how to write editor extensions using the Managed Extensibility Framework, how to interact with the text buffer, how to create custom margins and Windows Presentation Foundation-based adornments, and how to distribute the extension.TRANSCRIPT

Overview of Runtime Intelligence Visual Studio 2010 Editor Extension Walkthrough Visual Studio 2010 Editor Extension Code Q&A
Runtime Intelligence
Application, feature-usage, & environmental data collected from the field◦ Dotfuscator (Suite and CE in Visual Studio 2010) injects
instrumentation◦ Runtime Intelligence Service aggregates, analyzes and
distributes runtime intelligence data allowing you to make better decisions faster.
What can you find out?
What’s running ◦ What applications, versions of applications, components and features
within applications, and methods within those features?
Under what conditions? ◦ What operating system and framework, cpu, memory, and disk capacity?
What about screen resolution or video chip?
How’s it doing?◦ How stable, what are the performance characteristics, what user patterns
and practices are emerging?
How does it compare?◦ Are new features being adopted, is the hosted version performing better
than the installed equivalent?
Is it making a difference?◦ What is the development ROI? Are sales increasing, productivity
improving, and satisfaction trending upwards?
