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

Artykuł
05/18/2009

Today, we are releasing Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET FX 4. If you are a MSDN subscriber, you can download the Beta today from here. For the rest of the world, the Beta will be publicly available on Wednesday.

Over the last many months I had blogged about a lot of new and interesting features that are in VS 2010 and .NET 4. You can see those features and many more in Beta 1. We have more work to do in terms of finishing up the feature work for some of the scenarios and getting to the right levels of quality and performance, but we have made enough progress that we wanted to start getting your feedback.

As with any software development process, getting customer feedback in a timely manner helps us make better products. We are looking forward to hearing your feedback on this beta.

To find out how to download the beta and where to share your feedback, please visit the Visual Studio 2010 Product Page.

Namaste!

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?

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. Kind Regards, Dustin Campbell Program Manager Visual Studio Languages

Enrico: 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.

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.

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.

@Dustin Campbell 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?

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.

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. Thanks Amit Chopra

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! Dustin Campbell Program Manager Visual Studio Languages

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 Marcel

Hello Vyacheslav, Regarding the other issue you mentioned: "Old Generic C++ Class Wizard does not create anything." We know about this issue and it has already been fixed in our internal builds. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Thanks Raman Sharma

Hello Marcel > I finally decided to download ... 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. Thanks Damien Visual C++

I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2010 Team Suite Beta 1. After some time I decided to remove it. Removing went well, but after that MSVS 2008 (SP1) has stopped working! Required msvcr (t) 100.dll etc. We had to re-install MSVS 2010 Beta 1. How do I remove the Visual Studio 2010 that it should not be harmed my MSVS 2008? Thank you.

Hi David, This is beta software and is available for all to download it and try it out. There is no cost involved for this. When we ship the final version of the product (or prior to that), pricepoints for the various SKUs will be announced then. -somasegar

Adrian, the Geneva Framework will ship as an out-of-band extension to the .NET 3.5 Framework as a web download in the second half of 2009. It will not be part of VS2010. Polita Paulus Developer Division Microsoft

In VS 2008 .NET 3.5 encountered a substantial performance degregation with Workflow Foundation visual editor when droping more than 10 Activities. The problem exists in both Sequential Workflow or State Machine Workflow Editor. My Question: Does VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 addressed this performance issue?

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?

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

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

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! Karen Liu

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, Polita Paulus Developer Division Microsoft

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
