As I've mentioned before though we are using the RC so I'd assume some improvement in the final release itself. I like the new intellisense features and the multi-monitor support. I like that the Add Reference dialog is fixed and hate that it has brand new problems. I like that I can style it so the chrome matches my editor color scheme. When you upgrade projects you do it in 2 stages. The first is to upgrade the project and solution files themselves. This has no real bearing on the compiled executable, it's just a toolset thing. The changes are pretty minimal really. In fact there is a tool for switching between different versions if you want to give it a try: http://stevedunns.blogspot.com/2010/02/tool-to-switch-project-files-between. html The second upgrade is to bring your projects into .NET 4.0. That gives you access to all the new framework stuff like MEF and System.Lazy<T> (both personal favorites). If you can deploy your app into .NET 4 then I like the new framework. It has a lot of nice touches to it. Regards, Mike On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 11:22 AM, Anthony <asale...@tpg.com.au> wrote: Anyone using vs2010?
