Client App Dev
What's new in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and making it work for you. If you didn't know, Visual Studio SP1 was released the beginning of March and it is packed with a lot of good stuff. We will take a look at some of the new features and bug fixes. Also, we will review the extensibility model that Visual Studio 2010 provides and briefly look at some of the more popular extensions available. If you are a Silverlight or web developer, you will want to learn how you can now use IIS Express 7.5 instead of the Cassini as your debugging host. If you have very large Entity Framework models, you will want to look at the improvements SP1 did to reduce the wait time to load the designer. We will also cover authoring your own snippets to continue to make you more efficient and effect in your work place. We all use Visual Studio, let's see how we can leverage what's there and get the most out of the best development environment on the market!
