What big benefits come from VS2010 SP1?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4414381

Question

The Visual Studio SP1 beta just became available. I'm tempted to give it a try, since it apparently contains quite a few fixes and improvements. I haven't had any specific issues with VS2010, so I'm not certain what I'd get out of it right now.

A query to those in the know: what specific improvements in SP1 will you be benefiting from?

Was it helpful?

Solution

well

Unit Testing on .NET 3.5 (it was for .net 4.0 only)

Performance Wizard for Silverlight

& intellitrace for sharepoint projects is all i can remember now

OTHER TIPS

If you are interested in SQL CE, there are several improvements enumerated by Scott Guthrie:

VS 2010 SP1 includes much improved tooling support for SQL CE, and adds support for using SQL CE within ASP.NET projects for the first time. With VS 2010 SP1 you can now:

Create new SQL CE Databases
Edit and Modify SQL CE Database Schema and Indexes
Populate SQL CE Databases within Data
Use the Entity Framework (EF) designer to create model layers against SQL CE databases
Use EF Code First to define model layers in code, then create a SQL CE database from them, and optionally edit the DB with VS
Deploy SQL CE databases to remote servers using Web Deploy and optionally convert them to full SQL Server databases

You can take advantage of all of the above features from within both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based projects.
