This book will take an investigative look at new and important features that have been added to Visual Studio and .NET 4.0. A balance of about 30% existing “key features” will be discussed with the remainder of the book being focused on the new items in VS 2010 and .NET 4.0. The book will be divided into six distinct parts if you will; Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4.0, ASP.NET, C# Language, VB.NET Language, and the new F# language. This will allow the book to be easily navigated by users looking to quickly identify and isolate key content elements that are of benefit to them. Concepts will be introduced in a practical manner, with full illustrations and examples of how and why these elements are helpful. Consideration will be placed on sometimes “hidden” features of previous versions for the 30% existing items, to provide true value for even experienced readers. Some of the topics covered include: - VS 2010 UI: XAML editor changes, test driven development, MEF, Ribbon, movable widgets
- Visual Studio Snippets and templates
- .NET Framework and WPF, WCF, workflow, LINQ, Entity Framework
- .NET Charting Components
- ASP.NET: Charting Controls, Dynamic Data, MVC, Ajax improvements, jQuery
- Visual Basic 10: multi-line lambdas, auto-implemented properties, nullable optional parameters, and more
- C# 4: Dynamic Lookup, COM interop enhancements, and more
- F#
