“Rosario”
Best tool set for Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and
Microsoft Office 2007
.NET Framework 3.5 design surfaces
Office 2007 support including ClickOnce and VSTO
MFC support for Vista common controls
Improvements for Web Developers
HTML / CSS designer enhancements
Integrated AJAX and JavaScript support
Language advances
.NET Framework multi-targeting support
Improved Data & Language integration in VB / C#
Multi-targeting
Target multiple versions of the framework from a
single tool - Visual Studio 2008
Supports framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5
Enables only features available in target framework
Toolbox, Project types, References, Intellisense, …
Making is easy to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008
Unit Testing
Now available in all editions of Visual Studio
Professional
Team Foundation Server 2008
Built-in support for Continuous Integration
TFS Migration Toolkit
“Get latest on checkout”
Annotate
Folder Diff
For developers:
Code metrics
Performance “hotpathing”
Profiler baselining
Much faster unit testing performance
For testers:
Load testing support for AJAX applications
Better UI for load test monitoring / reporting
And much more…
Local Variable Type Inference
Object Initializers
Collection Initializers
Anonymous Types
Auto-Implemented Properties
Extension Methods
Lambdas
Query Expressions
Expression Trees
Partial Methods
Person p = new Person()
{ FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe“};
Person p = new Person()
p.FirstName = “John”;
p.LastName = “Doe”;
var cookies = new List<Cookie>
{ new Cookie("cookie1", "1"),
new Cookie("cookie2", "2") };
Person aPerson = new Person(24);
var aPerson = new Person(24);
public class Cust
{
public int CustId { get; set; }
private string _CustName;
public string CustName
{
get { return _CustName; }
set { _CustName = value; }
}
}
var obj = new { CustId = 1, CustName = "C#" };
private string _Test1;
public string Test1
{
get { return _Test1; }
set { _Test1 = value; }
}
public string Test { get; set; }
Extension methods will allow us to extend
existing classes with new functionality.
In C++ these are called ‘non member
functions’
public static string SuperUpper (this string s)
{
Return s.ToUpper();
}
Lambda Expressions
Expression Trees
Partial Methods
…
Query expressions
XML literals
XML element access
Nullable types
Object initializers
Local type inference
Lambda Expressions
Extension methods
Expression trees
Anonymous types
Ternary Operator
Coalesce Operator
Relaxed Delegates
Partial Methods
…and many other IDE improvements, bug fixes, and small features!
Strategy - Phased Upgrades using Interop
Reduce Risk by moving one Form at a time
Extend existing assets with VB.NET
Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit (v2.0)
Guidance, tools, and code to make upgrades easier
Not a code converter!
VB6 Application
VB6
Form(s)
Interop
(COM)
VB.NET
Form(s)
New programming model for data access that integrates
query support directly within the .NET languages
Designed to reduce the complexity when working with data
Query operators can be used against any collection
Built-in examples: Select, Where, GroupBy, Join, etc.
Extensibility model supports extending/replacing these
Benefits
Work with data in a consistent way, regardless of the type of data
Interact with data as objects
Better integration with programming languages
Improved productivity through IntelliSense in Visual Studio
C# 3.0
VB 9.0

Now using a snap-shot
Potential order of magnitude improvement
Watch working set
Better Performance in XML (DOM) Binding
If Xml Document is changing a lot
If there are lots of trivial XPaths
Orders of magnitude faster updates
Improved performance in Datasets
Previouslt DataSet Rows = funky identity
semantics, lots of refreshes and weird behavior
Now identity semantics are fixed
Much faster with changing data
