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

Tuesday 2:00 PM – 3:15 PM

Room: 515AB

 

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

the C# programmer, including refactoring and data visualization.

Tuesday 5:00 PM - ?

Room: Tools and Developers Lounge (Level 2 near room 309)

 

After Anders finishes his talk, the team will be available in the Tools and Developers
Lounge (which I’m told is out in the middle of one of the concourses) to answer questions
about C# or about either of the C# talks. Scott, Anson, and Anders will be available,
as will other C# team members.

 

Visual Studio "Whidbey": Advanced Debugging Techniques

Room: Expo Hall? (I think - don’t quote me on that one)

 

The C# team will be out in force for Ask the Experts, as will the rest of the Microsoft
teams. If you have a hard problem to solve or a tough question to get answered, this
is a great place to spend some time.
