Visual Studio 2010

ADO.NET Data Services

ADO.NET Data Services - Overview Patterns and libraries to expose data as a service using a uniform interface to be consumed by web clients Middle tier (WCF-based) service framework to create REST-based data services designed to expose a range of data sources Simple, interoperable REST conventions Client libraries to consume the services VS Integration to create and consume data services

ADO.NET Data Services Entity Data Model Every resource is addressable via a URI Flexible URI scheme for data retrieval URIs Data as resources, HTTP verbs to manipulate it Leverage caching, proxies, authentication, … HTTP AtomPub, JSON Formats Strongly typed classes CRUD / LINQ Client The underlying model Entities and associations  resources and links Patterns and libraries to expose data as a service using a uniform interface to be consumed by web clients A REST Interface for Data

Target Scenarios Astoria Data service is part of the website JSON support for easy access to data AJAX Data service also part of the website Astoria client presents natural.NET LINQ enabled API Silverlight. NET desktop/web & mobile applications Data source sits across the web Simple object based based API with LINQ support.NET Desktop & Mobile Apps Open, interoperable, standards based platform and conventions Easily create data services clients on a third party platforms Non MSFT Clients Framework to enable easy creation of data services Sharepoint, RedDog, SSDS, etc are currently implementing their REST interfaces using ADO.NET Data Services Framework Platform Cloud Services

WPF / Silverlight Designer Enhancements

Goal: More Designer, less XAML Interactive designer just like the WPF designer Silverlight Just Works Drag and drop Databinding, DataBinding Picker Sample Data RAD Databinding More containers, support for auto-sized containers, easier Grid editing, less destructive of your XAML More Complete Layout More editors – Brush, Font, Layout, Image Control designers (DataGrid etc.) Richer Property Editing Finding and using resources is easy Online Style Gallery of “make me pretty” resources Easy Resource Consumption Control tree visualizer Easy control over diagnostic output Better Debugging

VS 2010 Customer Experience “Silverlight Just Works” RAD Databinding Better layout Richer property editing Easy to pick Styles and Resources Better debugging Better XAML editing

VB/C# Language Enhancements

Visual Basic Language Enhancemets Auto Properties Implicit Line Continuation Dynamic Collection Initializers Statement Lambdas

C# Language Enhancements object fileName = "Test.docx"; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; doc.SaveAs(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); object fileName = "Test.docx"; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; doc.SaveAs(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); namedRange.Find("dog", xlByRows, MatchCase: True); Named argument dynamic result = namedRange.Find(MatchCase: True, what: "dog", searchOrder: xlByRows); dynamic result = namedRange.Find(MatchCase: True, what: "dog", searchOrder: xlByRows); Arguments evaluated in order written Named arguments can appear in any order doc.SaveAs("Test.docx"); Optional Params result.ClearContents(); Late-binding through “dynamic” type

Office Programmability Enhancements

Office Programmability C# parity with VB: Named and Optional parameters, Omitting “ref” for COM, Implicit dynamic binding for COM C# parity with VB: Named and Optional parameters, Omitting “ref” for COM, Implicit dynamic binding for COM No PIA

SharePoint Developer Support Unified and integrated development experience in Visual Studio Team Development - TFS Integration Reducing complexity – XML schemas, CAML, various config files Improved F5 Experience Improved Packaging & Deployment Experience

VS2010: Tools for SharePoint Developers Target platform: Continue supporting SharePoint v3 Workflow projects Additional tooling experiences targeting SharePoint v4 Key Designers and Features: Web parts designer Application / master page designer Packaging and feature designer Workflow designer Business Connectivity Service Model designer SharePoint Explorer Extensible Infrastructure

Streamline the Developer Experience 1.Create a project to put the workflow in 2.Add an XML feature definition file and edit the XML a. Add GUID b. Add title c. Add description d. Add manifest location 3.Add an XML workflow template definition file and edit the XML a. Add GUID b. Add name c. Add description 4.Add a code item for the workflow code 5.Design the actual workflow, add code etc. (This is the “real” developer task) 6.Build and sign the assembly a. Add key file 7.Install assembly into the Global Assembly Cache 8.Extract public key token 9.Add key token to workflow template definition file 10.Create DDF file to specify manifest for CAB file 11.Build CAB file to package up feature definition workflow definition file 12.Copy cab file to SharePoint file system 13.Invoke stsadm on the SharePoint box to install workflow 14.Reset Internet Information Services 15.Press F5 16.Attach to WPW3.exe process 17.Manually associate workflow with document library using web pages

Looking forward a bit:.NET RIA Services

.NET RIA Services - Value Propositions Focus on data in an end-to-end manner A unified story for client and server development A prescriptive framework that targets key scenarios, and leads the common developer to success

End-to-End Focus on Data Beyond accessing and editing rows App-specific custom operations Data shaping (sorting, paging, and filtering) Rules (validation, authorization, and conflict handing) Batching and offline
