One of the interesting new features in Visual studio 2010 is that Microsoft has rewritten the code editor, and it's now 100% Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Because of this, they were able to add some exciting new features to the editor that otherwise might not have existed (or, at best, would have been a royal pain for Microsoft to add). Check out Julia's blog this week as she has put together a quick little video demonstrating the zoom feature. While zoom alone might not seem like a huge feature, what she's really demonstrating here is the power that comes with the editor being created under WPF. Will this give you some ideas for your own WPF programs? Maybe so!

Also this week we have an announcement regarding ASP.NET MVC V2. Microsoft has released a preview of Version 2. Thanks to the MFC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, creating scalable ASP.NET applications has gotten both easier and more intuitive. Now Microsoft is getting ready to release version 2, and has made available a preview of this newest version. We'll be exploring it here on DevSource; meanwhile you can check out what Darryl Taft has discovered about this update.
