    Visual Studio 2010 is RTM! Please send us your feedback...
    Mark Wilson-Thomas Wednesday, October 28, 2009 6:44 PM

    The Visual Studio WPF and Silverlight Designer Team is delighted to inform you that Visual Studio 2010 RTM is now available! Take a look at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/download


    What's New for WPF and Silverlight Developers in Visual Studio 2010 ?

    1. The Silverlight Designer is a fully functional drag-drop designer for Silverlight 3 RTM release out of the box, and for Silverlight 4 via an add-on (for info see http://blogs.msdn.com/wpfsldesigner/archive/2010/04/15/silverlight-4-releases-silverlight-4-tools-for-visual-studio-2010-rtm-available-now.aspx) 
    2. The Data Sources Window works for Silverlight 3 and 4
    3. The Property Browser has been reworked to be more usable – showing a better Category view and a "Set Properties" view
    4. The designer now lets you load controls that have references to static resources at app scope
    5. The designer shows helpful errors when things such as controls fail to load, without the need to attach a debugger to Visual Studio.

    Check out these Channel 9 videos for more info:

    Looking Forward


    Feedback
    We hope you enjoy the new release, and are really looking forward to hearing your feedback.

    You can send both positive and negative feedback and questions to us using this Forum, and we also encourage you to raise any bugs and issues you find via Connect (see this article on how to raise bugs in Cider)

    Thanks!
