Microsoft has already confirmed that they are working on the next version of Visual Studio that is Visual Studio 2010 and the VSLive! Conference in San Francisco will be a perfect stage for Microsoft to show preview of Microsoft Visual 2010 user interface to developer community. Microsoft has implemented a new graphical user interface in Visual Studio 2010 and this new user interface looks pretty good.
Jason Zander, general manager of Visual Studio, Developer Division, Microsoft ,Said
The new UI for Visual Studio 2010 aims to help developers work smarter with streamlined features and increased control of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but without creating a new learning curve for existing Visual Studio users. As developers, we spend a lot of time in our IDE. So it’s all about how to make your experience with the IDE most successful. Visual Studio 2010 now features a reorganized layout with file menus and commands on a “shelf” at the top of the IDE.
With Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft targeting to increase the developer productivity, increasing efficiency and simplification in terms of developer workflow. Microsoft has turned Windows Presentation Foundation into Menus and toolbars. In addition to this they have also introduced a new text editor that supports rich integration of advanced graphics and on-screen hints, with collapse code capabilities.
With Visual Studio 2010 developers also get the multi monitor support. The new will allow developers to drag source code windows to a secondary monitor, with the new UI allowing them to make use of multiple screens. Developer will be able to visualize data in better manner with this new editor. Developer will be able to add action areas into text files to create new kinds of functionalities.
Developer can also view the historical information like who wrote the code previously. Previous editors requires a lot of code has to be write for graphics but Visual Studio 2010 new editor developers will be able to do this in more efficient manner and which ultimately leads to more informed, data-driven development.
