Visual Studio 2010 and NetAdvantage® for WPF

WPF xamTrader.

The .NET Framework 4.0 includes many enhancements for WPF developers, including improved graphics performance and layout rendering, better localization support, and improved interoperability.

Key areas that we are investing in for WPF around the framework and Visual Studio 2010 include:

  • Improved support for UI Automation to ensure that our controls provide a great experience with the new Visual Studio 2010 test automation
  • Enhanced design-surface experience for all controls that leverages the new design surface improvements common to Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend
  • Multi-touch support for default gestures on Windows 7
  • Visual State Manager
  • Improved accessibility support from the platform
  • .NET 4.0 specific build of NetAdvantage for WPF

From a developer productivity perspective, the alignment of the Blend and Visual Studio design surface gives us a greater opportunity to create a consistent RAD experience when creating experiences with those tools and the NetAdvantage for Win Client WPF controls.
