Hi - I'm Ken Watson, the Release Manager for Visual Studio Platform. I'll be one of the moderators on this forum.
We have provided this forum to gather your feedback on the scenarios described in the walkthroughs that shipped with Visual Studio 2010 CTP. At this stage in the release, we are interested in hearing your thoughts on the design of features presented in these walkthrough. We'll be taking more general feedback on the product when we get to the beta.
We'll be discussing the following walkthroughs in this forum:
- How to Create a Custom Platform
- How to Create an Inline Task
- How to Create Custom Property Pages
- How to Use the C++ MSBuild Project System
- How to Deploy an Application by Using WiX.
- How to Prepare a Package for Non-Registry Deployment
We look forward to hearing from you!
thanks,
Ken Watson
