The nickname for Visual Studio 2010 is “Hawaii.” A CTP (Community Technology Preview) variation was published in 2008 as a preinstalled virtual hard disk. In May 2009, the Visual Studio 2010Beta 1 was published as an installable variation, unlike the previous CTP variant that was preinstalled as a virtual hard disk.
The IDE for Visual Studio 2010 is supposed to abate the complexity and clutter by providing better support for:
- Floating tool windows
- Multiple document windows
- Multi-monitor support
The IDE has been rewritten in WPF and the internals have been redesigned using MEF (Managed Exensibility Framework). Revolutionary additions to the programming languages include:
- F# (multi-paradigm programming language ML)
- M – textual modelling language
- Quadrant (visual model designer)
VS 2010 will come with variant 4.0 of the NET Framework and it will target developing applications for Windows 7. Silverlight is integrated into Visual Studio 2010 and there is much better support for parallel programming. Search abilities and Intellisense have been much improved in the new variant.
