My Interview with Dave Bost on The Thirsty Developer Podcast

Recently, I had the pleasure of chatting a fellow Developer Evangelist from Microsoft, Dave Bost to discuss some of the latest and greatest features of Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4. You can check out a recording of this interview here.

I continually find new and exciting things in both Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4. Combined with ASP.NET MVC 2 and Silverlight 4, there is a lot of great technology out in the community for developers to hand their hands on.

Visual Studio 2010 - Project/File Type Sorting

In previous versions of Visual Studio, the "New {Item}" window was a continual source of frustration for me because there wasn't any way to sort the list of types. This was particularly painful when you had a number of project or file type extensions installed to support development on platforms like Office. Many times I've sat in demos where the presenter needed the audience's help to find a particular type in the "New {Item}" window.

Finally (and thankfully), Visual Studio 2010 introduces the ability to sort types in the "New File" and "New Project" windows:

Now, instead of hunting for the project or file type that you're searching for, you can help yourself out by sorting the listing by its name in either an ascending or a descending order.
