as an Editor – Cont’dCall HierarchyKeyboard shortcut: CTRL + K, TAvailable in C#Used to see calls to and from a methodGreat way to see calls at design time11

as an Editor – Cont’dHighlighting ReferencesAutomatic highlighting of a symbolCan be used with declarations and references, and many other symbols12

as an Editor – Cont’d“Generate From”Used to automatically create stub codeEnables you to use classes and members before defining themGreat for refactoring codeIf you are familiar with ReSharper then you’ll like this 13

as an Editor – Cont’d“Navigate To”Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + ,Provides search-as-you-type support for files, types, and membersEnables quick searching based on case usage14

as an Editor – Cont’dIntellisense Consume First ModeKeyboard shortcut: CTRL + ALT + SPACEUsed when classes and members are used before they are definedHelps to reduce situations where IntelliSense inserts unintended text into the editor15

as an Editor – Cont’dMulti-TargetingVS 2008 was the first release of Visual Studio that included multi-targeting support for .NET.NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, and .NET 3.5 all ran on top of the same version of the CLRWorked, but wasn’t perfectVS 2010 now ships with “reference assemblies” for each version of .NET. A “reference assembly” contains only the metadata of a particular framework assembly – much smaller in size.Ensures that VS 2010 can always provide 100% accurate intellisense when targeting a particular version of the .NET frameworkVS 2010 debugger, profiler and compilers are able to target multiple versions of the CLR.16

as an Editor – Cont’dBreakpointsCan add labels to breakpointsAll breakpoints are now searchableImport / Export now availableFloating Data TipsDataTips that float in the source windowFloating DataTips remain visible until the debugging session endsNew Threading WindowProvides filtering, call-stack searching, expansion, and groupingNew columns added: Affinity masks, Process names, Managed IDs17

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0C# and VB Language ParityMicrosoft combined C# and VB teams into one group with the goal of merging the two languages features setIDE still behaves differently and function vary from language to language21

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0Visual Basic 10Auto-Implemented PropertiesShortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write codeCollection InitializersShortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values. (This was in C#)Implicit Line ContinuationEnables you to continue a statement on the next consecutive line without using the underscore characterImproved Lambda SupportAction Queries and Multiline Lambda are now supported22

What’s New in .NET Framework 4.0C#Optional and Named ParametersNamed arguments enable you to specify an argument for a particular parameter by associating the argument with the parameter's name rather than with the parameter's position in the parameter list.Optional arguments enable you to omit arguments for some parameters. Both techniques can be used with methods, indexers, constructors, and delegates.Dynamic TypeOperations that contain expressions of type dynamic are not resolved or type checked by the compiler. The compiler packages together information about the operation, and that information is later used to evaluate the operation at run time23
