Visual Studio 2010 and NetAdvantage® for Windows Forms

Windows Forms Row Edit Template.

As evidenced by our recent releases, we are continuing major investment in the Windows Forms platform. Visual Studio 2010 gives us the opportunity to deliver even more compelling experiences with Windows Forms.

Key areas that we are investing in for Windows Forms include:

  • In-process side-by-side hosting enables an application to load and activate multiple versions of the common language runtime (CLR) in the same process
  • Multi-touch support for default gestures in Windows 7
  • Windows 7 support

In addition to the framework and tooling support, we will continue to add new controls and features to the NetAdvantage for Windows Forms toolset.
