Visual Studio 2010

For some time now, I have had the chance to experiment with PRISM and I really like what it brings to the table. But I also use some Telerik controls for WPF, and after doing some research, I noticed that Telerik has included in its documentation some elements about PRISM.

Here are some interesting links:

• Telerik Sales Dashboard White Paper: Example of applications using PRISM and the MVVM pattern
• Introduction to PRISM with the RadControls for WPF on TelerikTV
• PRISM on the WPF forum by Telerik

Here is a collection of tools/plugins/utilities that allow you to work even more efficiently with VS2010. Here are the three that I install with VS2010. While you’re at it, take a look at the Visual Studio Gallery, you’re sure to find something interesting!

Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools

Newly arrived, the Pro Power Tools offer better tab management (by project, color coding, scrolling, stacking, …) as well as search in the Add Reference menu, which is quite nice, and I even noticed an improvement in the performance of this dialog.

As I say in a previous post, VS2010 RC won’t last forever, it’s look like all RC version will be expiring on June 30 2010. So make sure to upgrade your version or go get theExpress editions (C#, VB, C++, Web developper and Windows Phone) !

The keyboard shortcuts posters (in English only) for Visual Studio 2010 are now available (C++, C#, F#, and VB).
