When I click on the link, I am getting a "Your search did not match any products."

I access MSDN via the BizSpark program. I've noticed in the past that sometimes folks forget to make betas available for BizSpark. Did that perhaps happen this time, or is there a more general issue?

Hey Soma,

I have a question about your blog you wrote the "right levels of quality and performance" Given you haven't released any type of quality products outside of SQL Server since Visual Studio 6.0 (anyone that doubt this is true just query the MSFT knowledgebase there are more bug pages related VS/.BLOAT then exists in a global yellow page phone books) and in terms of performance unless you have a bleeding edge QUAD proc box with a terabyte of ram your software has problems out performing a turtle on valium but in light of that fact can you please give us an an idea when a quality products that performs well will actually ship?

Thanks In Advance

For now, I would encourage you to try the beta and let us know any feedback that you have. At a later date, we will have a Go Live version of .NET 4 and you can decide then if you want to move your web site to .NET 4 then or wait a little longer.

re: Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4 Beta 1 ships!

Dustin Campbell — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:34:06 GMT

Sasha/Enrico:

Just to clarify the situation, Edit & Continue is certainly supported on a 64-bit machine, provided that you are debugging a 32-bit process. Unfortunately, the necessary CLR work to enable Edit & Continue on 64-bit processes will not be implemented for Visual Studio 2010, though it will be in a future release of Visual Studio.

With Visual Studio 2008, the situation is especially problematic because the default for new projects is "Any CPU." When an executable assembly is compiled with a target platform of Any CPU, it runs as a 32-bit process on 32-bit OSes and as a 64-bit process on 64-bit OSes. Thus, if you create a new project with VS 2008 on a 64-bit OS, you cannot Edit & Continue unless you specifically change the Target Platform for the project to "x86."

In Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, new projects are "x86" by default. This enables Edit & Continue even if you are developing on a 64-bit OS, and it helps to alleviate some of the pain "Any CPU" has caused customers writing P/Invoke code. We're very interested any feedback that you might have on this change to defaults. Please feel free to email me directly at dustinca@microsoft.com.

I wanted to follow up separately on your question about Edit & Continue and LINQ. Unfortunately, Edit & Continue will still not be supported on LINQ expressions in Visual Studio 2010. It turns out that this is pretty tricky to get right, and we're planning to tackle the problem post-Visual Studio 2010. Look for it in a future release.

Hi Gustavo,

Currently, Expression Blend 3 preview will not work with VS 2010 projects that are targeting .NET4. However projects that target .NET 3.5 will work as expected with Expression Blend 3 Preview (as well as Expression Blend 2).

An update to eh Expression Blend 3 preview that supports VS 2010 and .NET FX 4 projects is expected to be available later this Summer.

Soma,

Thanks for reply. I had read in a few places that SharePoint tools would not be included in Beta 1. I was wanting to know if the SharePoint tools would also include Silverlight tools for developing instead of only ASP.NET in Beta 2/RTM release?

Also now that VS 2010 and .NET 4 Beta 1 is release, can you give us a better timeline of when Blend 3 Beta 1 and SketchFlow will be release?

Thanks again.

Good Job on this release. I installed it yesterday and have been playing around with it a lot. I like the new UI (especially the ability to move code windows out of the IDE onto a second monitor). My only major concern about new UI is performance. I noticed a huge jump in resource requirements when upgrading a 30 project solution from 2008 to 2010. Almost double the memory requirement. Although, I like the WPF editor and it's features, I hope you can make it more responsive before RTM. It runs pretty pokey on a Core 2 Duo 6600 on Vista x86 with 3.25GB of RAM and FireMV 2250 video card.

Greg — Fri, 22 May 2009 00:43:52 GMT

Is VS 2010 and .NET 4 going to have complete documentation at the release date? .NET 2.0 caused big problems for us since a large part of the BCL was not documented apart from placeholder documentation (like output from Reflector).

Can this be complete when VS 2010 ships to production?

Input parameter restrictions (e.g., must be an open file handle) and exceptions thrown were not in the documentation.

FWIW, I think making x86 the default platform target is a terrible choice. This is just going to create headaches down the road when people who are writing MSIL pure code inadvertently start shipping x86-only modules to others. "corflags" to the rescue I guess...

I think this setting unfairly penalizes the majority (MSIL-only coders) to compensate for poor training of the minority (PInvoke coders).

I have already had to forcibly switch several new projects back to Any CPU mode after discovering they were x86 by default in VS 2010.

Why not modify the C# & VB compilers to issue a warning when a project contains PInvokes to non-platform libraries and does not have its platform set to either x86 or x64?

In area of C++ support VS10 Beta 1 seems to be buggier than Beta of 2005 or 2008

Vyacheslav Lanovets — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:45:44 GMT

Generally, VS10 Beta 1 does not worth beta name(especially compared with Windows 7). It's more like Alpha/CTP. Still, if MS does not release VS10 too early it is going to be a great product.

I've installed it both on VMWare+XP and on laptop running W7 RC7100. Old Generic C++ Class Wizard does not create anything. Also, under Windows 7 RC 7100 I can not make simple MFC console app to hit any breakpoints even by calling ::DebugBreak() directly.

UI is lagging a little bit (it's expected for WPF). New UI is not polished. Mix of native Win32 controls in dialogs with WPF controls looks really ugly, fonts look terrible. Rico's encantations apparently did not help and VS10 does consume memory a lot (but on small apps, maybe it is super-scalable for huge solutions).

I think I won't bother compiling our 70MB of native C++ source code under that. I am not even sure it can upgrade projects with Smart Device Configurations: Windows CE development seems to be missing completely.

Regarding the change of the default platform target from Any CPU to x86 - I completely agree with what others have been saying. This is an absolutely disgraceful hack to workaround the lack of x64 Edit & Continue support.

Hello, I am with the Mobile Development Team. I saw some comments about Smart Device Development in VS 2010 Beta 1. The current bits don't have Smart Device/ CE enabled. Our Team is absolutely committed to making Visual Studio a great development tool for the Mobile developer. For existing Visual Studio 2008 developers, we will be releasing a new Windows Mobile 6.5 emulator in the upcoming months that works with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK. This provides a great solution for existing developers.

We will deliver Mobile device tooling for Visual Studio 2010 but we can’t share details at this time.

re: Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4 Beta 1 ships!

Dustin Campbell — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:33:35 GMT

Jeff Brown, danieldsmith,

Thanks very much for your comments and the links to specific Connect bugs. We do realize that this is a very controversial change and one that we're definitely gathering feedback on this during the beta process to determine whether it's the right change or not. I should mention that we are already making a change for Beta 2 to default Class Library projects to Any CPU, so class libraries can be consumed in 32-bit and 64-bit processes without any change.

Adding true support for Edit and Continue to the 64-bit version of the CLR is a fairly large work item, and other features were prioritized higher due to the fact that there is a reasonable workaround in most cases (i.e. target x86). However, as the Dev10 development cycle progressed, feedback about 64-bit EnC support (and other issues, such as PInvoke problems that I mentioned earlier) increased due to more users switching over to 64-bit OS's for development. Our expectation is that this trend will continue over the coming years, and cause even more pain for customers. Since doing the CLR work is extremely risky so late in the cycle, we opted to change the default target type to alleviate what we expect will be extremely serious pain in the next couple of years.

We are absolutely committed to revisiting Edit & Continue in the next release to add 64-bit support and address other holes in that particular feature. However, changing the default to x86 isn't just to support Edit & Continue. There are many other customer pain issues that switching to x86 will address.

Again, please feel free to email me directly at dustinca@microsoft.com if you want to discuss this change in depth. I am curious to know exactly what your scenarios are, and why you specifically prefer Any CPU over x86.

Thanks!

Amit Chopra,

Thanks for the info. When will we be able to develop WPF-type applications on Mobile devices? Is it available now? Mobile 6.5? 7.0?

Also, I watched one of the Keynotes from one of the big conferences this passed year ( not sure PDC, MIX ) regarding Silverlight and Mobile development. During the talk, there was a demo using Bluetooth technology ( I believe it had something to do with new Azure and Cloud Computing ).

This might be a crazy question, but.... Will it be possible to use the Bluetooth interface as a serial port ( SPP ) with Silverlight? I don't think it would due to the "sandbox" scenario. This would be nice to have, as it seems more devices will have Silverlight support and not WPF. If this will not be supported in Silverlight, what is the plan on providing developers with Visual Studio development tools to create WPF/Silverlight type applications across many Mobile devices ( e.g. BlackBerry, IPhone, etc. )?

Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.

I finally decided to download and install Visual Studio 2010 and give it a try. The first thing I did was to generate a standard MDI application statically linked to the MFC: then I run the compiler and noticed that the Release executable (without using the new control bars, just the standard windows interfaces) is about 1300 Kb: about 4 times bigger than one created with VC++6.0 and VS2005 (300Kb and 430Kb respectively). There is no debuggin information in the executable. I noticed also the new UI has a slower redrawing performance compared to VC++ 6 IDE and VS2005: ie: I run VS2005 in a VMWare Player and it redraws faster than VS2010. Also I couldn't find anywhere the Class Wizard that was published as coming back to this release. I have Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 Gb of DRAM with nVidia GForce Graphics card and Windows XP+SP3 Pro Retail.

I would appreciate if you can post your comments about how to fix the aforementioned problems.

Thanks for taking the time to evaluate the beta and posting your feedback – we appreciate your efforts/feedback.

> The first thing I did was to generate a ...

The sizes you present are consistent with what we see ourselves for the “default demo” application (the “just click and build” scenario) when using MFC statically. Of course, we do want MFC binaries to be as “acceptable” as possible on many aspects; functionality, reliability, speed and size to name but a few. Can I ask a few questions: does the size of a “default demo” application, such as you describe above, concern you from the point of view of your “shipping” applications? Have you built your “shipping” applications with VS2010 yet? Do you ship your applications with MFC statically linked-in? This feedback would be very useful to us. If you like we can chat about this over email, my alias is damien (at Microsoft dot com.)

> Also I couldn't find anywhere the Class Wizard...

The Class Wizard has generated a lot of interest from our customers, just look at the number of times it is mentioned on this previous blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/08/08/visual-c-futures.aspx for example. So we definitely hear that it is a much requested feature. All I can say at this point is that not all features are in beta 1 – so do not give up hope yet :-)

Please let us know how you find the rest of your experience with the beta when you get a chance.

Hello Damien,

>>The sizes you present are consistent with what we see ourselves for the “default demo” application (the “just click and build” scenario) when using MFC statically. Of course, we do want MFC binaries to be as “acceptable” as possible on many aspects; functionality, reliability, speed and size to name but a few. Can I ask a few questions: does the size of a “default demo” application, such as you describe above, concern you from the point of view of your “shipping” applications?

I like the new classes in the feature pack and I don't think that the bigger size of the executable

would be a concern for me if it is the price to pay to use the new controlbars from the feature pack.

But I have a few MFC dialog based applications where the main window is a dialog box. I use these applications

for service controller,etc. Also another MFC based application is for implementing a control Panel app.

These are simple applications where a small size is required for fast loading at startup or when the

customer clicks the control panel and the new classes are not needed.

I recompiled one if these apps with VS2010 and ended with a 1.459 KB file

It is the bigger size a consequence of the new classes of the recently released Feature Pack?

I think BCGControlBars offers the option to enable or disable linking to the new controlbars

to decrease the size of the executable. I couldn't find any information on how to do this

with the classes in the feature pack or do they have to be included always, even when they are not used?

>>Have you built your “shipping” applications with VS2010 yet? Do you ship your applications with MFC statically linked-in? This feedback would be very useful to us. If you like we can chat about this over email, my alias is damien (at Microsoft dot com.)

I have built one of the applications that I described in the above lines: it is a small dialog based control panel app

with MFC statically linked. The size is about 7 times bigger than with VC6.0 (200 KB exe compiled with

VC6.0 and statically linked to the MFC)

I use the Class Wizard intensively and extensively for adding new functions handlers, and to add or modify dialog box item control mappings to variables. It would be a much needed and welcome comeback to the new IDE. One of the reasons that I downloaded the VS2010 was to see the new Class Wizard

>>Please let us know how you find the rest of your experience with the beta when you get a chance.

Overall I like very much the new IDE, as it largely exceeds all my programming requirements at this moment.

It has improved a lot for developing web applications, since Visual Interdev.

In that aspect I see that the product is far better than VC6.0. I will continue to test the new features in C++ development

that is the language I use for most of my applications since Version 1.5.

Also I noticed some minor problems ie:

1) When switching from Statically Linked MFC to dynamically Linked MFC, the runtime library is not switched automatically

as it used to be in the previous versions: I have to manually switch to use the corresponding runtime library each time.

2) The Release Configuration is configured by default with the /Zi flags ( debug in program database) and the linker configuration

also is selected /DEBUG by default. Turning of this option, doesnt clear the Generate Program Database option.

3) When I resize the IDE, it takes some milliseconds more than with the native IDE. I think it is because

the new IDE uses WPF.

4) It uses a lot of memory. I opened the Standard MDI project and some windows, then I checked with the

taskmanager where memory usage went from 465 MB (wihtout VS2010) to nearly 860 MBytes.

Regards,

Marcel

VS 2010 is an utter disappointment. Data Access sucks, WPF debugging and data binding is still a joke and any cool UI controls for wpf are nowhere to be found, class browser worthless, still missing a data centric language, the UI is inconsistent and unfinished, performance is worse then VS 2008, the MVC (massive volumes of code) framework designers don't work and none of the bugs in 1.0 addressed, property sheet bugs when subclassing UI'S by hand haven't been fixed, N-TIER is still not fully implemented.... Man I'm at a lost what you all are thinking !

With all the opportunities for improvement in VS and .BLOAT why anyone would take one of the few areas that was marginally acceptable the UI and screw it up it beyond me.

Why is symbolic nonsense the centerpiece of MSFT'S development strategy. The thought process where, if you add enough flash we may overlook the product flaw is not working. Obviously using technology to make end users (developers) more productive is NOT a priority for MSFT anyone more!

By the way I think the BING team is using flash not silverlight I wonder why ? I guess there is not a single team at Microsoft willing to go out on a limb for your new technologies...

Installed Windows 7 RC and VS2010 on my three year old laptop and guess what? It works just fine - great work people!

I've got no idea what Mark Gordon's problem is - LINQ is working just fine, the SQL Database editors inside VS are working just fine and I don't have any kind of issue with "code bloat"...

Clearly if Edit and Continue was easy - it would be done - so it must be freakishly difficult - good luck with that!

Anyone wanting small fast applications using MFC needs their head read... If you want small and fast - use ATL and WTL! Actually do these frameworks work in VS2010 - not had a chance to try them yet!

The only item on my wish-list is an MSBuild task for invoking the Message Compiler as I write lots of Windows Service code and prefer to hook up old-school event log message libraries to my .NET services so the Event Viewer experience is complete. The .rule file I was using in VS2008 doesn't work in VS2010 without a corresponding task :-(

With all the changes and teams working on various parts of VS2010 I certainly would prefer it to ship later rather than sooner - we want a stable product first and foremost and then we'd like a speedy product. Everything else is icing.

Oh one question - will "geneva" ship in the BCL with VS2010 RTM - I'm looking at it now and it really is the answer to my web-service security woes :-)

I just spent the day working with VS 2010 Beta 1 with C++. It stinks. I'm not impressed. Whatever happened to "2010 is the next 6?" What especially kills me is that you still haven't fixed glaring dialog box misaligned controls and a glaring bug that has been in the MFC class wizard for several releases.

The project import from VC++ 6.0 is completely broken.

Performance is worse than 2005 (which is worse than 6.)

Switching solutions using the MRU list caused VS 2010 to lock up.

Switching solutions also kept asking me to save solution files that were already saved. Saying "Yes" would overright the existing project. (It apparently was too dumb to add the converted solution to the VS 2010 solution. Even worse, when I directory opened the vxproj file, VS locked up with the windows in a very strange position.)

VS 2010 doesn't obey the ClearType setting.

It is VERY slow to start. It is SLOW to close a solution. It is SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.

The color scheme is horrid.

When working in the properties and saving them, there are serious redraw problems.

The profiler still stinks beyond belief. (Hint: steal ideas from CompuWare.)

This is an abomination.

Hello Joe,

Sorry you had such unacceptable experience. Some of the above issues specially concerning project conversion and performance are being looked upon now and we did lots of work there since the Beta1 timeframe.

Nevertheless, I would be very much interested in trying some of the issues you faced and discussing them with you in more details. Could you please contact me directly at "aymans at microsoft dot com". I would love to try the issues you faced and make sure they are indeed fixed in our current internal builds.

Thanks,

Hi Bruce,

Regarding the performance of WF designer in .Net 3.5, we are very aware of the performance problems that exists with workflow more than about 50 activities and are working on fixing them in Dev 10. If you are encountering problems with just 10 activities I would like to know some more details so we take action quickly. Can you please share with us some more details of performance problems with just 10 activities? I would like to know which operations caused problems, were there any specific activities that caused the problems etc. I would really appreciate that and it will help us tremendously.

Apart from this we have a new editor for new WF framework that we are releasing in .Net 4. In the new designer we have substantially higher level of performance. Just as a comparison in the new designer you should be able to work with sequential workflows of about 1000 activities very easily.

Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to hearing back from you on the .Net 3.5 designer.

Thanks

Pravin Indurkar

Thanks

Hi Pravin,

Thanks for your response.

I provided somewhat inaccurate number of 10 Activities when noticing the degradation in performance. The 10 Activities I was thinking about where the StateActivity.

I am developing a State Machine Workflow application hosted in console based application exposing a WCF interface. So each StateActivity has 2 or 3 EventDrivenActivity and each contains 2 to 5 Sequential Activities (IfElseActivity, DelayActivity, CodeActivity, etc.) So when adding all those activities, which I didn't count, when sending the original message, will amount to more than 50 Activities. And that is inline with the number you provided in your response.

In your response you indicated that the new editor for .NET 4.0 will handle 1000 Activities. My question, whether this number includes both State Machine Workflow and Sequential Workflow Activities. If the answer is yes, then it is well above the number that I need to utilize in my application, which is about 400 to 500 Activities.

In .NET 3.5 noticed the degradation in performance, I noticed, in the WF editor when going between View Code Behind to View Designer. My current system is Core Duo with 4GB ram running Windows XP SP3.

For best performance of WF editor, what hardware/software configuration would you recommend? Would OS 64bit will make a difference?

re: Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4 Beta 1 ships!

Pravin Indurkar — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 03:02:05 GMT

Hi Bruce,

For the new workflow designer the 1000 activity workflow is a sequential workflow. We also are optimizing the free form designer which is the basis of flow chart designer that we are offering new. We are optimizing that also and our goal is that it can handle 500 activities easily with all of them connected.

In terms of the degradation of the performance when doing a 'view code behind' and then comming back to the designer, I agree with you on the regression. In fact that is the regression that we are working on very actively and we will ensure that peformance on that is good.

In terms of hardware/software requirements there is nothing required for the workflow designer in addition to the Visual Studio requirements. The standard configuration recommended for Visual Studio is sufficient for workflow designer also.

Thanks for your response and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks

Pravin Indurkar

Hi Joe,

I want to address some of your questions. Please feel free to follow up with me at "borisj at microsoft dot com".

question 1 - project import from VC6 is broken

As Ayman mentioned, we agree that it's not ideal in Beta1 but we have been using a bunch of real-world projects and the upgrade experience has improved significantly in Beta2.

question 2 - misaligned controls in class wizards

Can you be a little more specific? It's true that some of these wizards don't get much attention but we've focused on re-creating the full-fledged MFC Class Wizard experience of VC6, which you should see in Beta2. In the meantime, if you can file a bug report, that would be helpful.

question 3 - performance is worse than 2005

VS is a large program and we agree that its performance in Beta1 is severely lacking. Our entire division continues to push very hard to make Beta2 and RTM drastically faster. As for C++, you can already see some of the scalability improvements we've made in the core architecture. For example, the solution database does not reparse when making changes to headers like it used to in 2005.

question 4 - switching solutions causes VS to lock up

We have heard reports of this but have not been able to reproduce this in our labs. Please email me so we can follow up with you directly.

question 5 - vs doesn't obey cleartype setting

This is an area where we've made a bunch of progress since Beta1. The editor respects Cleartype settings however some parts of WPF do not respect it, which is why some menus and controls don't obey the setting. We are working to resolve this.

question 6 - slow start

We have made huge improvements to startup time since Beta1 and continue to make it a priority.

question 7 - poor color scheme

Can you clarify what it is that is bothering you? Is it the design of something specific like the start page or the new project dialog (both of which have changed since Beta1)? Or is it the overall choice of colors in the program?

question 8 - poor redraw when editing properties

Which properties are talking about here? In a designer context or in the editor? It would be very helpful if you could log a bug for this issue.

question 9 - poor quality of profiler

We'd love to know more about what you mean here. could you send me an email directly at borisj at microsoft dot com? for the native profiler, we have added a new concurrency profiling mode (both resource contention and thread execution, a "Just My Code" mode, an improved summary page, a new function details page and sampling support on virtualized environments.

Thanks,

Boris

Microsoft has to DO MORE to promote Silverlight by using it on their own websites - starting with msn videos, bing, maps, getting more partners to use it and not just use it for 1 odd page sitting as a side-kick page for a specialized purpose.

(btw, maps on Bing have gotten worse than when it was Live maps in terms of performance and there has been NO UPDATE since a year!)

------------------------------------------------

In regards to Joe question 7 - poor color scheme

------------------------------------------------

I think what Joe means and what I noticed also is that Visual Studio 2010 shoulden´t force the blue color theme on developers there should be option to change color of the UI to maybe "black" or to a netural "grey" as blue isen´t everyones taste.

I personally don´t want to spend my days looking at a blue UI i distracts my eyes when coding ;-)

Just give us the option to tweak color of the WPF ui in Visual studio 2010 as WPF has such good customization options this shoulden´t be to big of a job right ?

Best regards

Nicklas

Please do not devote time to edit and continue if it is a major chunk of work, most professional programmer rarely use it. When I started programming in the write, debug, debug, debug style sure it was a handy feature, but spending time in the debugger is not productive, with the alt.net movement and focus on TDD/BDD gaining pace I dont think we need to further advance debugging in VS (it's already bloody good for when its required).

The lack och Edit and continue support make me want to kill my self. This is the one singel most used feature for small and medium companies with only basic programing skills. Edit and continue has been there since the vb time. Removing support now is like giving people a kick in the face.

I would say most programmers use it alot.

re: Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4 Beta 1 ships!

Karen Liu — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:50:12 GMT

Karl -

Edit and continue is still supported in the product -- you should continue to see it in Beta 2. Dustin Campbell gives a good description of the current limitations with EnC in the comments above, but please feel free to follow-up with me at [karenliu at microsoft dot com] if you're not seeing any EnC support at all in the Beta.

Thanks!

Hi, I cannot seem to get Visual Studio 2008 to create a new web site project using .net 4. Is this a supported feature of .net 4 or am I limited to creating .net 4 projects using Visual Studio 2010?

thanks...pix

Pix Dancer, Visual Studio 2010 supports .NET 4 and earlier projects. Visual Studio 2008 supports .NET 3.5SP1 projects.

Hope this helps,

thanks for the quick response...don't understand why the VS team would limit VS2008 from using .NET 4, but...that said, VS2010 is pretty cool, so no big complaints...kudos to the VS team for the improvements on VS2010...pix
