What will Visual Studio 2010 look like?

I've heard several podcasters (most recently the guys at DotNetRocks ) say that the look and feel of Visual Studio 2010 has been completely rewritten and Visual Studio has been rewritten in WPF.

I've watched some demos on Channel9 in Visual Studio 2010 CTP and the only thing that looks different is the start screen.

I read the notice on MSDN , but it says nothing about the look / feel / design of Visual Studio.

Has Microsoft influenced this direction or will there be changes in the user interface of the final product?

It's too early to guess what it will look like: I don't even think they know what it will look like.



However, from what I've heard, they actually rewrite parts to be WPF / C #, but they don't throw everything away and start from scratch. Instead, they will rewrite chunks as it makes sense. For example, I saw that they have some new UML tools that will certainly look like in WPF.

I am guessing 3D with space theme. You will be able to "fly" through your code, "twist" classes, "knock" errors, and "run" your code.

Uh, the beta has been available for over a month now. I am playing with Visual Studio 2010 on / off. It is very similar to 2008 in overall design.

You can download it here and see for yourself where they get the product:

Channel9 has a tag of a ton of videos about VS2010 , TFS 2010 and then PDC 2008 sessions . They are also launching a new series called 10-4 , dedicated to VS2010 only - going through sorting.

I heard that it will have a historical debugger .

Also, this should be a wiki

Let him pray that they don't notice, visually. My guess # 1 is that they will try to wrap new office tape around our necks .; |

From WPF Wonderland :

Visual Studio 2010 gets WPF lift

WPF has been around for a couple of years now. It's long enough that new releases of Microsoft products are sprouting WPF interfaces.

Last year at the PDC, Microsoft announced that the code editor in Visual Studio would be rewritten in WPF. However, Microsoft didn't stop at the code editor. Jason Zander, GM for Visual Studio, showed off the new WPF-based IDE today .
