Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Visual Designer for WPF creates a seamless designer/developer workflow with Expression Interactive Designer “Sparkle” XAML-based editing directly in the IDE Changes reflected in the designer in realtime Control extensibility Project templates, debugger & deployment support Side-by-side support for Winforms ClickOnce deployment support for WPF apps

Windows Communication & Windows Workflow Foundation (cont’d) Autohost for the hosting of WCF services WSDL test client allows message injection Hosting Wizard eases migration of services New WCF Project templates include both the Autohost and Test Client into an out-of-the-box F5 experience Simple item template for adding WCF services to an existing Project

Windows Communication & Windows Workflow Foundation (cont’d) Activities to consume WCF services –Function similarly to the InvokeWebService activity available today Hosting extensions to expose WF workflows as WCF services –Messaging activities (send, receive) –A workflow hosting environment to handle instantiation and message routing

Web Development with ASP.NET AJAX Better user experience on the web! Interactive –Asynchronous postbacks –Partial rendering Personalized –Membership –Profile Ubiquitous –Standards-based –Support for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari

ASP.NET AJAX Extensions (Server-side) <asp:UpdatePanel/> –Declaratively mark up regions for partial rendering –AJAX-enable existing ASP.NET web apps Web services –JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) round- trip serialization –Client-side proxies

Microsoft AJAX Library (Client-side) Pure JavaScript –Browser independent –Backend independent Object-oriented Call web services Build controls and behaviors Animations Browser Compatibility Layer

ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Joint project between Microsoft and the community A few dozen controls, more to come Three goals: –Place to get components for web apps –Set of examples for client-side developers –Highlights the best script developers’ work

Mobile Development Works side-by-side with Visual Studio 2005 In-box support for Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs Unit Testing Integration with Visual Studio Team System Security Aware IDE Device Emulator 3.0

Create unit tests for device applications using the VSTS Unit Test infrastructure

Latest Windows Mobile SDKs ship in the box Ability to target multiple versions of the.NET Compact Framework runtime

Device Security Manager makes it easy to deal with complex device security settings Better understand current device security settings Easy to change the device into a specific security setting to test application under different security profiles

Device emulator offers the ability to emulate new hardware peripherals Device emulator emulating Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system

Emulating a low battery scenario. This feature is very helpful for device developers to see how their application will behave in a low battery scenario on a real device

Data Access & Programmability Language Integrated Query (LINQ) LINQ to XML LINQ to Objects ADO.NET “Orcas” Entity Framework LINQ-enabled ADO.NET LINQ to Dataset LINQ to Entities LINQ to SQL

The LINQ Project LINQtoEntitiesLINQToSQLLINQ to toXML C#VB.NetOthers… LINQToDatasetLINQToObjects LINQ-enabled ADO.NET

using System; using System.Query; using System.Collections.Generic; class app { static void Main() { string[] names = { "Allen", "Arthur", "Bennett" }; IEnumerable ayes = names.Where(s => s[0] == 'A'); foreach (string item in ayes) Console.WriteLine(item); names[0] = "Bob"; foreach (string item in ayes) Console.WriteLine(item); } Arthur Language Integrated Query “LINQ” Integrated, native query syntax in C# and VB –IntelliSense and Autocompletion Query Operators can be used against any.NET collection (IEnumerable ) –Built-in examples: Select, Where, GroupBy, Join, etc. –Extensibility model supports extending/replacing these Deferred Query Evaluation Lambda Expressions using System; using System.Query; using System.Collections.Generic; class app { static void Main() { string[] names = { "Allen", "Arthur", "Bennett" }; IEnumerable ayes = names.Where(s => s[0] == 'A'); foreach (string item in ayes) Console.WriteLine(item); names[0] = "Bob"; foreach (string item in ayes) Console.WriteLine(item); } Allen Arthur using System; using System.Query; using System.Collections.Generic; class app { static void Main() { string[] names = { "Burke", "Connor", "Frank", "Everett", "Albert", "George", "Harris", "David" }; IEnumerable expr = from s in names where s.Length == 5 orderby s select s.ToUpper(); foreach (string item in expr) Console.WriteLine(item); } BURKE DAVID FRANK using System; using System.Query; using System.Collections.Generic; class app { static void Main() { string[] names = { "Burke", "Connor", "Frank", "Everett", "Albert", "George", "Harris", "David" }; Func filter = s => s.Length == 5; Func extract = s => s; Func project = s = s.ToUpper(); IEnumerable expr = names.Where(filter).OrderBy(extract).Select(project); foreach (string item in expr) Console.WriteLine(item); } BURKE DAVID FRANK

ADO.NET “Orcas” at-a-glance Data modeling at the conceptual level –Separate apps from database schemas Better integration with.NET –Interact with data as objects or as rows and columns, your choice Better integration with programming languages –Language-integrated query support

Entity Framework Conceptual expression of a logical schema that makes sense to your app Different apps may have different views (Entity Data Models – EDM’s) of the same data in a backend store Entity Data Model Designer –Integrated into the Orcas IDE –Create entities from scratch or generate EDM models from an existing database –Easily consume existing EDM models Entity SQL “eSQL” may be used to query an Entity Data Model
