Visual C# "Whidbey": IDE Enhancements for the C# Developer

Visual C# PUM Scott Wiltamuth (PUM = “manager of the whole Visual C# team”) and IDE

the C# programmer, including refactoring and data visualization.

After Anders finishes his talk, the team will be available in the Tools and Developers

is a great place to spend some time.
