SuzanneASP.NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 Released

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

ASP.NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 are released, which include lots of new features and improvements that enable the developers to build, deploy and manage great Web sites and applications.

Need to Build Better Websites-

Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 makes it easier to edit, search, and navigate code. Improved VB and C# Intellisense makes it even easier to find and use classes within the .NET Framework. Improved JavaScript IntelliSense enables better AJAX development.

New code navigation and visualization features enable to find quickly and navigate large projects and visualize dependencies across your code-base. Improved unit testing, debugging and profiling help support builds robust applications.

ASP.NET Web Forms
With ASP.NET 4, Web Forms controls now render clean, semantically correct, and CSS friendly HTML markup. Built-in URL routing functionality allows you to expose clean, search engine friendly, URLs and increase the traffic to your Website.
ViewState within applications is smaller and can now be more easily controlled. And more controls, including rich charting and data controls, are now built-into ASP.NET 4 and enable you to build applications even faster.

ASP.NET MVC
ASP.NET MVC 2 is now built-into VS 2010 and ASP.NET 4, and provides a great way to build web sites and applications using a model-view-controller based pattern. ASP.NET MVC 2 adds features to easily enable client and server validation logic, provides new strongly-typed HTML and UI-scaffolding helper methods, enables more modular/reusable applications, and facilitates a clean unit testing and TDD workflow with Visual Studio 2010.

Web Deployment
Visual Studio 2010 makes deploying your Websites easy. You can now publish your Websites and applications to a staging or production server from within Visual Studio itself.

Visual Studio 2010 makes it easy to transfer all your files, code, configuration, database schema and data in one complete package. VS 2010 also makes it easy to manage separate web.config configuration files settings depending upon whether you are in debug, release, staging or production modes.

NaggieVisual Studio 2010 clean application level web.config

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Introducing new small improvement that has been made in Visual Studio 2010 & .NET 4 to reduce the size of the ASP.NET application level web.config 3.0 and 3.5 web.config

As ASP.NET technology evolved, the application level Web.config had new things added to it. Since the earlier frameworks were using the same set of machine level configuration files, incremental feature that was added subsequent to the 2.0 release resulted in additional config settings included in the file.
.NET 4 web.config

With .NET 4, the web.config is tremendously reduced in size to improve the simplicity of ASP.NET

The config settings have been moved down to the machine config file. This includes registers all of the ASP.NET tag sections, handlers, modules and settings for the following:
• ASP.NET AJAX
• ASP.NET Dynamic Data
• ASP.NET Routing
• ASP.NET Chart Control

You can look at the trimmed down web.config by creating a .Net 4 ‘ASP.NET Empty Web Application’ in Visual Studio 2010.

Following is the web.config file for .NET 4 C# ‘ASP.NET Empty Web Application’:

The config file above has settings to tell ASP.NET to enable debugging by default for the application and provides the version of .NET framework to use.

NaggieMicrosoft offers Visual Studio 2010 release candidate

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Microsoft has taken another step to release its Visual Studio 2010 IDE and the accompanying .Net Framework 4 programming platform, offering a release candidate (RC) for the paired technologies on Monday.

The RC stage is considered the last step prior to a general release, with developers able to offer final feedback. The launching of Visual Studio Microsoft has scheduled the launch of Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4 for April 12, after having scrapped an initial March 22 launch date to work on performance issues found by beta testers.

The downloadable release candidate was offered to MSDN subscribers on Monday, while non-members can get it on Wednesday. Visual Studio 2010 features capabilities for developing applications for the Microsoft SharePoint collaboration platform, Windows 7, and the Windows Azure cloud platform; .Net Framework 4 offers features such as a reduction in size.

According to S. Somasegar, senior vice president of the Microsoft developer division, the goal of RC is to get more feedback from you and ensure it has addressed the performance issues in the product. RC has made significant performance improvements specifically as it relates to loading solutions, typing, building and debugging.

General Manager of the Microsoft developer division, Jason Zander said in a blog post that Microsoft has received a lot of feedback on the Beta 2 release of Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4.

In particular many of you pointed out areas of performance where we were not at parity with [Visual Studio 2008] and it was impacting your ability to adopt the product, said Zander. Some of those areas of feedback included general UI responsiveness (including painting, menus, remote desktop and VMs), editing (typing, scrolling, and Intellisense), designers (Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation in particular), improved memory usage, debugging (stepping, managed / native interop), build times, and solution/project load.

Zander said, in December Microsoft Technical Fellow Brian Harry and I made the hard call to extend the Beta 2 period to continue to drive improvements into the product. Zander also added that Microsoft also is working with third-party companies with Visual Studio add-ins, such as Resharper and CodeRush, to make sure the environment works well.

Developers can report feedback on the RC.

In other software development-related happenings at Microsoft, the company and NBC this week are reporting that the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in technology for rich Internet applications will again be used for online Olympics video coverage this month at NBCOlympics.com. Use of Silverlight for the 2010 Vancouver winter games follows the use of Silverlight for the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
