Project Report On Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

Visual Studio:

Visual Studio is a suite of component-based development tools and other technologies for building powerful, high-performance applications. In addition, Visual Studio is optimized for team-based design, development, and deployment of enterprise solutions.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It can be used to develop console and graphical user interface applications along with Windows Forms applications, web sites, web applications, and web services in both native code together with managed code for all platforms supported by Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, .NET Framework, .NET Compact Framework and Microsoft Silverlight.

Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that enhance the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for source control systems (like Subversion and Visual SourceSafe) to adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle (like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).

Visual Studio supports languages by means of language services, which allow the code editor and debugger to support (to varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C/C++ (via Visual C++), VB.NET (via Visual Basic .NET), and C# (via Visual C#). Support for other languages such as F#, M, Python, and Ruby among others is available via language services installed separately. It also supports XML/XSLT, HTML/XHTML, JavaScript and CSS. Language-specific versions of Visual Studio also exist which provide more limited language services to the user. These individual packages are called Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual J#, Visual C#, and Visual C++.

Starting from Visual studio 97 to Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft worked on different versions of it as Visual Studio 6.0 in 1998 then evolution of .NET lead to Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003 then Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. Now we saw the release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on April 12, 2010.

Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 is an integrated environment that simplifies creating, debugging and deploying applications.  The new Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 simplifies the entire development process, from design to deployment. Coding is faster than ever, since we can leverage existing code and skills to write applications targeting different platforms, including SharePoint and Windows Azure.

This release of Visual Studio has plenty of compelling new features — and some key updates that will make every developer using it a whole lot happier with their favorite IDE. But seeing it in action — and actually getting your hands on the product and using it — is what’ll convince you that this edition's new features and tools are truly breakthroughs. Not only will they change the way teams develop applications . . . they’ll change how businesses do business.

.NET Framework:

The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component that supports building and running the next generation of applications and XML Web services. The .NET Framework is designed to fulfill the following objectives:

• To provide a consistent object-oriented programming environment whether object code is stored and executed locally, executed locally but Internet-distributed, or executed remotely.

• To provide a code-execution environment that minimizes software deployment and versioning conflicts.

• To provide a code-execution environment that promotes safe execution of code, including code created by an unknown or semi-trusted third party.

• To provide a code-execution environment that eliminates the performance problems of scripted or interpreted environments.

• To make the developer experience consistent across widely varying types of applications, such as Windows-based applications and Web-based applications.

To build all communication on industry standards to ensure that code based on the .NET Framework can integrate with any other code.
