Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Released
Today, Microsoft released Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4. A lot of new features are included. One of them is a completely new editor.
“Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 have something for every developer. The new editor, now using Windows Presentation Foundation, delivers a more flexible, feature-rich environment that supports concepts such as the use of multiple monitors. This enables a developer to have one monitor with code, another with the user interface designer, and yet another with database structure.”
Visual C++ 2010 also includes a lot of new features, some of them are:
- MSBuild and multi-targeting
- IntelliSense and Browsing (#include auto completion, call hierarchy, red squiggles, find all references, class wizard)
- C++ compiler changes (static_assert, auto keyword, lambda, decltype, rvalue references)
- Ribbon designer
- Deployment changes
- Task dialog support
- Restart manager support

Later this week, Silverlight 4 will also be released to the web (RTW). At that time, an update for Visual Studio 2010 will also become available that will allow you to develop applications using Silverlight 4.
