Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

[TheAJ]

Hey,

Recently Microsoft released 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta1' mid May. I recently downloaded it, and i can safely say that this is something everything will want to upgrade to

.NET Framework 4.0 has a new CLR engine that's 10% faster than 3.5 SP1 framework. Garbage collection has also critically changed. If you have Windows 7(RC1), it's optimized.

Even though it's beta, it's rare to find a bug. You can trust this, because, well, they make (most) of the OS's you run tt1:

Needa pay for it? and it sure looks smexy i hope when it compiles it doesnt compile on run. so noone can read the source.

I have it right now, and i would have to say, not half bad. Runs smoothly, and efficiently. Compiles quite noticably faster.

Not sure about the retail version when it comes out, but the Beta version is completely free. And yeah, it does have a nice simple design

rawr can't install.gives error. I can't find .NET FrameWork 1.0 to uninstall.. Any ideas?

 

[katsumi]

wow nice GUI
hope its a good compiler

I tried it once, VS. But personally I'm not fond of the IDE. It's very big and slow. It does have nice features, I'm sure. Also, the "easy" integration with .NET or "Visual" is neither what I like, I avoid both as much as I can.

Installing now ill edit up to rate it over VS08 pro later ;]

does this have intellisense for c++?

 

[ThePhailure772]

.NET 4.0 <333. I can now use optional parameters inside of my methods

 

[TheAJ]

does this have intellisense for c++?

Yeah, it allows you to customize what you install
from J# to C++, everything is there

This has gotta be better than 08'
so i'm downloading it.

 

[Jordan]

Looks good so far seems faster but ive noticed a few bugs in C# :/

 

[xadet3]

Performance for me is pretty hideous. .NET 3.5 with XNA, loading a map in my map editor takes 3-4 seconds in 2008, it takes over a minute in 2010.

 

[Torsen]

For me average loading of the 2010 itself is ~7 seconds. Loading kore source takes around 15. I am still satisfied with it. Certainly faster than 2008 (For me).

 

[gunnerone]

I'm loving it !

 

[Tyler]

Its taking ages to download for me.
It was over half way through, and my bro shut off pc.
fag, but yeh, download is back underway.

 

[Hammad]

does this have intellisense for c++?

I'm not sure whether C++ may EVER have a fully functional intellisense, as every time it loads from the database, it corrupts itself as C++ is a much more complex language to be parsed than C#, Java, J#, F# etc. are.

Very cool, ill download and take a look

This is briliant, I love the new design! thankyou
