Visual Studio Myth Buster

Microsoft created a Visual Studio "Myth Busting Table" which allows you to pick a visual studio version (2005, 2008 and 2010) and see the major features grouped by functional areas like "Developing Rich Clients" or "Working with Data" while also demistifying some of the myths surronding these products.

If you're either just trying to grasp the new features that come with these products or looking for facts to convince your boss, you should have the latest VS version, this is a site you should visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/ee679805.aspx

Blog RESET

I've once again decided to start blogging. I hope this decision lasts!
I've deleted old posts in this blog and started from scratch.

This blog will be mostly about .NET and C#

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC

Haven't you heard? VS2010 RC is available for public download!

Last night, I've updated my VS2010 Beta2 to VS2010 RC.
It does look faster (but then again, I'm hardly the first to notice or mention this), so maybe I'll switch definitely to VS2010. So far I was using VS2008 for most of the stuff, because it was much faster (running inside a VM).

I'll try it out a bit before a definitive migration. Last night I've only had the time to test diagram generation (sequence diagrams and dependency diagrams) and did a bit of coding to get a better feeling on how the code editor  and the intellisense responds. One of the things I'll be definitely trying is the ADO.NET Entity Framework model designer.
