VB Magic

Hi,

Just posting a link to a blog which shows some of the new features of VB in Visual Studio 11

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lucian/archive/2012/03/29/talk-what-s-new-in-vb11-vs11-beta.aspx

I’ve also added this blog to the blog links to the right.

• Win8 support
• VBCore (=> new platform support for VB on Phone, XNA, MicroFramework, Kinect, Surface…)
• Async
• CallerMemberInfo
• Iterators
• View Call Hierarchy
• Namespace Global
• AnyCpu32bitPreferred allows EnC on x64 machines
• Better codespit and pretty-listing
• Better performance
• Better error-reporting for lambdas, and (not yet in VS11beta but will be) no more 102-error-limit for vbc/msbuild
• Fixed language corners in ForEach, ReturnArrayLiterals, OptionalParameterOverloads, GenericOverloadResolution
