Visual Studio 2010 - the most exiting new stuff

I attended the MSDN Live Oslo a few weeks back where they talked a lot about the new versions of Visual Studio 2010, C# 4.0 and ASP.NET 4.0. I'll present some of the most exiting (to me anyways) new stuff.

C# 4.0

• Named and Optional Parameters (no more overridden methods?)
• Late-Binding support / Dynamic Lookup
• Improved COM Interop
• Dynamically typed objects (to be honest, this is scary. Pitfalls!)
• Visual Debugger (visualization of your objects and their hierarchy)
• Tasks/Parallels (no more threading! This is far more efficient and easy to deal with)

Visual Studio 2010

• Historical Debugging (exiting!!! Step through your code as it ran on a live server!)
• Totally rewritten in WPF
• Improved designer (yet again)
• Added a lot of features like in ReSharper
• JQuery is integrated
• More visual modeling tools

ASP.NET 4.0

• Stripped down web.config file. Mostly everything moved to machine.config
• Extensive Output Caching. More flexibility on what to cache
• You can run start-up code for the application
• Session State Compression
• Individual ViewState
• Much better control of your controls' client ID (myTextBox actually IS myTextBox!)

There is lots of other new stuff too obviously, but I just wanted to share with you the stuff that I think is most exiting.Can't wait for the full release!
