Too Much Stuff to Cover in 1 hour

…and that was a short-list of new IDE features ALONE!

Focus of this presentation is on:

Visual Studio 2010: A close look at the new IDE

CAVEAT: I’ll cover the stuff I liked the most

Too Much Stuff to Cover in 1 Hour – Cont’d

2002: Visual Studio .NET 2002 (.NET 1.0) 2003: Visual Studio .NET 2003 (.NET 1.1) 2005: Visual Studio 2005 (.NET 2.0) 2007: Visual Studio 2008 (.NET 2.0/3.0/3.5)

2010: Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0)

.NET Framework Timeline & Roadmap

A lot more than an empty web site…It even pre-wires the membership, roles and profile providers.

New Web Application Template

It’s really empty…

New Empty Website Template

Config Transformations

General Improvements Debugging Architectural Diagrams Parallelism Extensibility UI rewritten in WPF Visual Studio is no longer just a Code Editor,

it is also a Platform!

What’s New in

Editor improvements focus primarily on: Writing code Understanding code Navigating and debugging code Publishing code

Editor improvements focus on Productivity!

as an Editor

General improvements Zoom Docking Windows and Multi-Monitor Support Call Hierarchy Highlighting References “Generate From” Usage “Navigate To” Usage Intellisense: Smart List and Consume-First Mode Multi-Targeting Snippets

as an Editor – Cont’d

Zoom CTRL + Mouse Wheel Enhances the ability to zoom the

code editor canvas Very useful for pair programming,

peer code reviews, training,presentations, etc.

as an Editor – Cont’d

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

as an Editor – Cont’d

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

as an Editor – Cont’d

Highlighting References Automatic highlighting of a symbol Can be used with declarations and references,

and many other symbols

as an Editor – Cont’d

“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

as an Editor – Cont’d

“Navigate To” Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + , Provides search-as-you-type support for files,

types, and members Enables quick searching based on case

as an Editor – Cont’d

Smart List Intellisense

Also support fuzzy and Pascal casing

IntelliSense does Search

Consume-First Development

Pressing space or tab here accidentally is quite annoying…

Normal IntelliSense…

Ctrl + Alt + Space toggles Consume-First

Can then use Ctrl + . to generate method or class

With Consume-First

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.

Code Snippets

Typing “<inp” then tabbing twice…

Gives you an input tag with appropriate attributes that you can tab through

Html Snippets more like in Code

Integrated Online Gallery Extension Manager

Online Templates

Debugging Improvements IntelliTrace(Historical Debugging)

Debugging

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

IntelliTrace

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…?

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…?
