Getting your Return on Investment with Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Speaker: Drew Robbins
Link: http://www.msteched.com/2010/Europe/DEV201
Timeslot: 09:00-10:00
Notes:
- It’s possible to run .NET 4.0 side-by-side with older .NET frameworks. It’s also possible to install VS 2010 side-by-side with older Visual Studio versions.
- With an application manifest file it’s possible to force existing .NET applications to use the new .NET Framework 4.0
- Starting with the .NET Framework version 4, you can use in-process side-by-side hosting to run multiple versions of the common language runtime (CLR) in a single process. By default, managed COM components run with the .NET Framework version they were built with, regardless of the .NET Framework version that is loaded for the process.
- Install Visual Studio 2010 trough the new Web Platform Installer: http://www.microsoft.com/web/
- The .NET 4.0 Client profile has been reduced in download size:
- 28 MB for x86 platform only
- 41 MB for x86+X64 platforms
- A new Enterprise Framework (version 4.0): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ef.aspx
- Code first based on POCO’s
