What's New in Visual Studio 2010

What's New in Visual C# 2010 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb383815(VS.100).aspx

  • Dynamic Support
    Visual C# 2010 provides support for late binding to dynamic types by introducing a new type, dynamic. This addition enables many new scenarios, including simplified access to COM APIs such as the Office Automation APIs, to dynamic APIs such as IronPython libraries, and to the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). For more information, see Using Type dynamic (C# Programming Guide) and dynamic (C# Reference).
  • Highlighting References
    This enhancement enables you to highlight all instances of a particular symbol in a document by clicking that symbol. To navigate between references, you can use CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW or CTRL+SHIFT+UP ARROW. For more information, see How to: Use Reference Highlighting.

The Extension manager has a UI similar to that of the Windows Control Panel, and can be opened from the Tools menu in Visual Studio by selecting Extension Manager…
