Visual Studio 2010 and Dot Net Framework 4.0

Visual Studio 2010 and Dot Net Framework 4.0

This is continuation of my series on Dot Net Framework 4.0, Dublin, Visual Studio 2010…

On 29th Sep 2008 Microsoft announced release of Visual Studio 2010 and the Framework 4.0, the main aim behind release of these products is to target new trends such as cloud computing , SOA, application life cycle management etc.

The Visual Studio Team System 2010 is code named as “Rosaria”, complete details about the product is not yet released by the Microsoft, we can expect lots of new information about Visual Studio 2010 and Dot Net Framework 4.0 in coming days.
One of the cool features of Visual Studio 2010 is the support for cloud development with Windows Azur tool for Visual Studio 2010. Windows Azur is the new cloud service, Windows Azur allows developer with on demand compute and storage to host web application on the internet through Microsoft data center. (I will explain Windows Azur in my forthcoming blog).

There are lots of changes compared to Visual Studio 2008 in Visual Studio 2010.. Now Visual Studio 2010 is fully supported by Silverlight.
JavaScript InelliSense engine is completely enhanced.
Visual Studio Team Suite for Architecture allows users to define their business processes very easily. Now a person who has very little knowledge on technology side can easily design their business process graphically. VSTS 2010 for Architecture supports both UML and Domain Specific Language (DSL) such as “M” which can be used with Microsoft’s “Oslo” model.
There are lots of new testing feature included in the new release of Visual Studio 2010. And even lots of enhancement in Team Foundation Server (TFS), now with new version of TFS it’s easy to trace and track work more easily

There are lots of things which still need to be explained, which I will do in my forthcoming blog…

Hi!
Thx for sharing the info...but generally speaking I really don't understand why they are releasing the new 4.0 framework..somehow I feel they are just hurrying with the new releases but I do not see the point...on the other hand I am very glad about the release of the new VS 2010...anyway I just wanted to express my thoughts....

Unwanted Usage of ‘var’ Keyword in c#

Since the introduction of ‘var’ keyword in C# 3.0, lots of developers started using it very large scale mode. I have done code reviews of lots of projects since the introduction of ‘var’ keyword and the trend of ‘var’ keyword is in usage of lots projects, and one thing what I noticed is that, ‘var’ keyword has made developer’s life much easier. If you are from a VB 6.0 background, usage of ‘var’ keyword was strictly prohibited only to certain places, developer should not get confused themselves with ‘var’ keyword from VB 6.0 or in JavaScript which both are totally unrelated. The main purpose behind ‘var’ keyword in C#, is to use it when the type in unknown. For example, I have a method which returns CustomerDetails and it contains information such as Customer ID, CustomerID,CustomerCity,Zip etc. which has different data types. Usage of ‘var’ keyword at everyplace makes code very difficult for other developers to understand. For example, a developer wants to check employee stat

Team Foundation Server Being in a software industry and specially those who are closely working with Microsoft technology no need to explain what is Team Foundation Sever (TFS). Let me explain in brief what is Team Foundation Server (TFS) and the advantages associated. Team Foundation Server is a source control, project management tool, bug tracking tool, change management, build automation and so on … TFS has number of inbuilt functionalities if used in a proper way leads to a project success. TFS enables organizations to manage applications throughout the IT lifecycle. Source Control Most of the organization uses Visual Source Safe (VSS) as a source control, TFS is an advanced source control which allows user to manage work items in a systematic way, and e.g., TFS administrator can set a policy while performing check-in and check-out operations. Following screen shot shows the policy warning if it’s not been satisfied. TFS can be integrated with Visual Studio;
