In Visual Studio 2010 when you debug you may add your comments to the DataTips and comeback with the changes later. Unlike your regular comment this gives bull eye view to the point you want to achieve.

In Visual Studio 2010 we have enhanced Create New Project window. This not only helps us to find the grouped template but also allows us to sort and search.
Now in Visual Studio 2010 you can close the start page after it loads the project you select from Recent Project list. There is a check box at the bottom left which helps you to decide whether you want to close the Start page or keep it open.
As Visual Studio 2010 is built using WPF, the new enhanced start page also has some additional features.
Recent Projects
Now you can control the Recent Project List by
Pin-UnPin the projects from existing list
Removing unnecessary projects from the list and also can open the “Containing Folder”
It’s so easy. Wizards with 3 steps and you are ready with the HTML code to paste in your site.

There is another super cool Hand-On Lab for RIA available here.
LINQ can be more faster with the availability of multi-core desktops. This can be implemented with minimal impact at the code level with existing code.
Here how it looks like,
Dim arrInt = Enumerable.Range(1, 4000000)
Dim q =
From n In arrant
Where (IsPrime(n))
Select n
In my dual core machine it takes around 2693 millisecond. But with a little tweak you can make it faster
From n In arrInt.AsParallel()
Now this takes 1527 milliseconds. Clearly something to think about.
Behind the scene
What happens in this case? All the Where / Select becomes Lambda expression like
arrInt.AsParallel().Where(Function(n) IsPrime(n)).Select(Function(n) n)
When we were using without AsParallel(), Where/Select were coming from Enumerable class. After we have implemented the AsParallel() it now calls the method from ParallelEnumerable class.
ParallelEnumerable class internally implements the new “Task” API.
Case studies are frequently asked resources for anybody before investing into it. Here are few on Windows Azure Platform, Windows Azure, SQL Azure and AppFabric
