Professional Visual Studio 2010 is a book about the power of the development environment that makes up the core of this application. It explores each aspect of the development life cycle from a perspective of how Visual Studio 2010 can make a programmer's life easier. From common tasks and functions to the lesser used but powerful tools that accompany the main code editing and design windows, this book walks through every facet of the IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Rather than leaving the explanation of the IDE as a simple description, every chapter illustrates real world usages for every tool, command and shortcut discussed so the reader can more easily apply what he or she learns as they go.This book demonstrates all the diverse facets of Microsoft's Visual Studio. The authors are covering every significant aspect of the IDE by answering the questions, Where is the feature used, and why and how do I use it? No other books on the market offer this approach.What's new for this version:The table of contents has been reworked since the previous edition to remove much of the content that was not directly related to the IDE. This includes five chapters covering Visual Basic and C# language features and two chapters on generic security concepts.Additional chapters have been added that cover new IDE features and application platforms that will be supported by VS 2010 including SharePoint, Windows Azure, RIA Services, and the ADO.NET Entity Framework. This edition adds additional code samples in C# as requested by readers of previous editions.Topics Included: Language Integrated Queries (LINQ) ADO.NET Entity Framework Synchronization Services and RIA Services ASP.NET MVC SharePoint Windows Azure Silverlight
