.NET

First, a look at .NET 4.5 Client & Device • Async – for UI responsiveness • Windows Store apps -- WinRT • Windows Phone apps • .NET CF 3.9

Web & Cloud

Fundamentals

• Async – for server scaling • ASP.NET MVC4 • ASP.NET Web API • ASP.NET Web Pages • Entity Framework Code-First • WebSockets • SignalR • Windows Azure Cloud Services 4.5 Support • Windows Azure Web Sites

• .NET Async (async + await) • Many new async APIs • WinRT interop • Multi-core JIT • MPGO – NGEN hot/cold splitting • Performance improvements • Reboot and reliability improvements to setup • Support Windows RT

GC • Background GC • LOH heap balancing • LOH fragmentation reduction • GC low latency mode • GC awareness of NUMA and >64 processors • >2GB arrays (or objects)

.NET 4.5 is installed on 100+ million machines!

Libraries • Portable libraries update • .NET Core Profile (Windows 8) • Extension methods for WinRT streams and async • NuGet • Immutable collections • Async for .NET 4 • HttpClient for Portable

.NET 4.5.1 in A Nutshell

64-bit Edit and Continue is finally here! • Number 9 all time requested feature on UserVoice! • Works exactly the same as for 32-bit applications • Client (WPF, WinForms, etc.), Store and ASP.NET WAP projects are supported • For WAP projects, need to enable Edit & Continue in Project Properties

Method Return Value Inspection • Now available for .NET! • Access via Autos window or in the Immediate window ($ReturnValue) • Can expand return value in the debugger

Async Debugging Improvements • Common question: How did I get here? • Supported for Store Apps, Web apps, Desktop apps in W8.1 • Enhancements to the Call Stack and Tasks window

Visual Studio 2012

Windows Store Development Improvements • Convert System.IO.Stream to IRandomAccessStream • Allows much easier interop with existing .NET code

• Better exception support for WinRT APIs • System.Exception.Message • System.Exception.StackTrace

• WinRT type system enhancements

• Nullable value types in WinRT structs

• 64-bit Edit and Continue support • Managed Return Value Inspection support • Async debugging enhancedments

Convert Stream to IRandomAccessStream • From MSDN Forums…
