Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 Brings new WPF Controls and Performance

TrackBack — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:39:42 GMT

Microsoft has released the beta of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and the .NET Framework SP1. Each of these releases contains a significant amount of new functionality and bug fixes for developers which will further enhance their experiences with our products.

.NET 3.5 SP1 Beta Ships, brings new controls, virtualization, and parity with Silverlight

Winforms Developers Rejoice! Silverlight Developers Rejoice.. The next version of WPF is here, and there is now NO REASON not to use WPF instead of Winforms, and Silverlight 2.0 developers can rejoice because WPF has attained parity with Silverlight controls

Not that I'm asking for you to divulge future plans for other products (because I already know what the official answer is), but would you say that WPF's performance has been increased enough to be viable to serve as the foundation for an operating system shell?

BenHayat — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:52:22 GMT

Great news Tim, and I'm sure what's learned in WPF, will help Silverlight in the long run.

I do have a question. Since Blend is developed in WPF, would you think these new performance and memory optimizations, would also help with the performance of Blend as well?

If yes, when do you think we can see a faster Blend as the result of these new WPF enhancements?

Thank you in advance!

re: Introducing the Third Major Release of Windows Presentation Foundation

tims — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:30:53 GMT

rkpatrick - there are definitely other considerations beyond just performance here - including the need to run well in ultra-low resource conditions (what happens if the system is so stretched for memory that the garbage collector can't run?)

Ben, yes - the performance improvements definitely have a knock-on effect on Expression Blend, since it's a WPF application. Not _all_ of them are checked into the beta release - you can expect to see further improvements by the time we release, but Blend will automatically benefit as soon as you install SP1 (make sure you install the hotfix mentioned above).

Brennon, working on WPF _is_ a wild party :)

Are you saying that how an app handles when memory is running low isn't performance-related or that it's just at a lower level than the SP1 improvements cover? (I consider memory usage and definitely GC behavior to be performance-related)

Tim,

Thanks for the good news on the perf front. Two questions:

1. Did you fix the screen flicker issue on XP? That DDI lock is a killer with WPF.

2. Will it work Windows 2000? Without that WPF is DOA.

Dejan

re: Introducing the Third Major Release of Windows Presentation Foundation

tims — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:30:30 GMT

Hi Dejan, could you explain what you mean by "that DDI lock"? I'm not sure what you mean with this first question.

To the second point, there are _very_ few Windows 2000 machines out there at this point in time. The operating system is eight years old, after all! There are a variety of numbers out there for deployment, but penetration is considerably under 10% and dropping very quickly. Furthermore, those machines that still have Windows 2000 typically have minimal graphical horsepower by today's standards. Most applications shipping today (including our own) require at least Windows XP to execute, so I think it's hard to truly believe that WPF is dead-on-arrival without Windows 2000 support.

Prime-time as in sub-prime mortgage bloatware business?

This whole shows needs major rework as you guys are looking like repeating the same old mistake and as I said before I'll believe it when I see it. Right now, slightly 'higher' than trivial WPF apps take around 70% of a Quad CPU, minimum of 80MB and that is a plain joke.

I doubt that will ever change and people surely demonstrate out there that an alternative of 8MB and 7% MAX utilisation is possible, SO WHY BOTHER?

Productivity for customer-screaming at your WPF app? I doubt it.

Hi Tim,

thanks for great news. One question - I don't know if it's only me, but on all machines I have Visual Studio 2008 installed on, I experience five-ten seconds long freezes of the whole IDE just before

"========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped =========="

message is displayed. This only happens in WPF projects and only if some .xaml file is opened in XAML editor (in source view, don't know whether this applies to design view too, because I don't use it). Furthermore, this doesn't happen everytime, but roughly every third compilation and only if some XAML file is modified using the editor before the compilation.

Is there a chance this issue been identified and fixed in VS 2008 SP1?

what a disappointment. still no mention of the features that are really required by Enterprise apps such as a proper implementation of VALIDATION (thats right, look at all the best practice apps like family show and notice that they gloss over validation).

Still no mention of a MaskedTextbox.

No improvements in debugging features, we still have to rely on tools such as MoleProject, which are created and donated to the community by people like Josh and Karl. These essential things should be coming from the MotherShip, not codeproject.

Thank you for the news. However, no matter how great the framework you describe, we still haven't seen any significant products released and developed by WPF from microsoft or other companies.

How on Earth, after (at least) 5 years of development and 18 months after first official release, you're announcing the beta version of update which addresses basic performance issues?

No matter how much you hype the WPF, the plain truth is that it failed in the marketplace in a big way. I bet two years from now we'll read about WPF 5.0 SP3, which is expected to finally give the adequate performance. The only problem is that it'll be much too late.

And please, don't push stuff like Family.Show as killer apps. This particular program takes above 60 megabytes of memory and it's not very responsive on quadcore with 2GB of RAM/GF 8600 video card. All it gives back is relatively smooth animation and zooming. The failure of Yahoo to provide working version of their WPF-based IM app is another nail in the coffin.

"Our early expectation was that WPF would be used primarily for consumer software."

That sadly remains a dream until Microsoft itself ships some killer consumer apps (read Windows Live and free power apps to Windows users). These will prove MS's dogfooding capability as far as WPF is concerned, set an example for desktop software developers (which are diminishing by the day) and showcase the power of WPF to end users (which is sadly not being realized today). What is happening today is Microsoft is only providing us with tools, not the apps, no killer apps, no sample apps, no apps to inspire development or demonstrate Vista's innovations.

I'm sitting here looking at two apps: One is MFC-based and consists of an entire "ribbon" skeleton, complete with an editable and serializable document. The other is WPF based and does... nothing. It houses a less than a dozen standard controls that aren't even hooked up to anything.

Guess which one is sucking up TWICE the memory of the other?

Yeah. The spirit of what you're attempting with this release is commendable but you have a long, long way to go. The fact that the sample/demo apps that were supposed to sell us on WPF run and consume resources as if they were stress-test cases should have told you something.

Don't get me wrong here. As a developer I love you guys. Honest. I just hate to see you wasting time with this thing. There's no way I will ever authorize or deploy something that runs so poorly. Not for real apps that do real work on real computers.

I must say I'm thrilled to hear about the browser control as well as other features including string formatting in a binding. Lots of them sound right on target.

In the "futures" category, I'm writing enterprise apps using WPF and am glad to see others posting about holes such as Valditaion (& focus) support. I still see WPF as the platform that has the potential to succeed in this area where Win32 failed. I hope that MS will have a small group try to write a real-world data centric app or talk to those of us who are so that some of these core issues get addressed before it's too late to change them without fear of breaking existing apps.

re: Introducing the Third Major Release of Windows Presentation Foundation

Gua — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:35:24 GMT

In response to 'use Delphi'.

Well you're using Delphi and J++. Add some lambdas and poor generics and voila: C#.

But that's not the issue, it is a good (not great) language to be productive in. It is touted as all things best yet it is not delivering in performance, user experience, samples, frequenty-updating-UI streaming scenarios, validation, you name it.

And if productivitiy is 80MB and 70% CPU utilisastion for very SIMPLE scenarios, poor controls, probably yet another bloated text rendering DataGrid, nuts-heavy eventing, then you'll quickly see on most basic apps that this just doesn't work and no one really care what the tech underneath is.

Experience out there clearly demonstrates that WPF after so many iterations already and years of development is simply a very bad idea in heavily bloated software that will not produce a sophisticated and/or scalable app without requiring a Cray.

The question is if so many human resources are going down the drain: Why doesn't it improve beyond cosmetic and still darn lacking performance features even with WPF 9.0 SP19?

You guessed it: over-engineering in C# and frameworks.

If the entire show was written in a proper language and native (ie. freeze those features) then you'll see COMPLEX scenarios take no more than 20MB and 16% Quad core utilisation. Nevermind that even that data is pretty horrific, but it sure would be an improvement over the current state of affairs.

Why MS doesn't do this is just crazy. Vista already messed up and the same bloatware approach is repeated again.

Perhaps in another 10 years.. by the time which you'll have another tech thrown at you and scripted browser already performs 20x better than CLR + frameworks. Without 3D sure, but that is besides the point.

It clearly demonstrates RAM latency is the problem. Too many abstractions and JITTed are a problem. GC is a problem if you point it at everything. GPUs are a moving target and it is a problem (heck CLR JIT is lousy in comparison to Javas, and much slower). XML is heavy. Even the dependency improvement on reflection is demanding and should be fully native.

And all that not next month, year and decade but TODAY!

But if you put all that together, yep you're guessed it:

Slow, unusuable apps, plenty of blogging on hype and lots of MONEY wasted; for customers, MS, for you and more.

I suggest you look at the number of succesful WPF apps out there after all this time:

Result: 1 (and still not as good as Adobe).
