Nonetheless, cleaner views and the ability to zoom freely are features that help developers code more efficiently and pleasantly. However, in the 2010 version the improvements in visualization features are still quite few. Visual Studio 2010 has a new WPF based code editor Programming custom extensions is also easier, thanks to the new Managed Extensibility Framework, MEF.įigure 1. Migrating from a traditional Windows GDI interface to modern WPF technologies allows many advanced improvements in the future.
Technically speaking, the biggest change in Visual Studio 2010 code editor compared to the previous Visual Studio versions is the all-WPF editing window (Figure 1). Most of the new features are available to all supported languages: C#, Visual Basic. The features also help you to be more productive on modern hardware. These new features both help developers write code and navigate in applications that are getting larger and larger. On top of that, Microsoft wanted to listen to developers and add additional features to the editor. The new editor technologies also help provide cleaner visualizations and zooming (as you will see later). Alone, this would have been a nice technical advancement, especially when considering that all the previous features are still there. In Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, the code editor has gotten a facelift with the new, WPF based implementation. Thus, Microsoft needs to make sure developers are productive, and stay so from version to version. And when it comes to the code editor, almost no other window in Visual Studio puts equal hours into the clock.
Many of the new features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 are related to developer productivity.
