I ran into a nasty issue where Visual Studio 2010 (the RTM version which just came out) often corrupts the binaries it outputs if the project is on an exFAT partition.
I've written about the problem on my website and also filed a bug report on the Connect website.
Hopefully it only affects exFAT partitions, and it only seems to, but it's made me decide not to switch to VS2010 just yet. I do like a lot of the new features but I'm going to wait a bit longer.

I can't believe they got rid of the MDI mode in 2010 - what were they thinking???
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the Project Settings dialog still isn't resizeable and is still completely useless for comparing settings between projects and configurations. :)
ReplyDeleteThe new UI was an opportunity to make things better but it seems like, at least for this first version, everything is no better than it was and except it's missing a bunch of old features, and even more non-standard, to boot.
Not that VS has had a standard UI for a long time, but it's reached new heights, especially when it comes to how floating windows behave. Personally, I haven't used MDI in VS for years but I do still float panels occasionally. The non-standard window borders, lacking shadow under Aero and with strange look & feel, are horrid. As is the way when you resize them they not only flicker but disappear when they flicker, revealing whatever is below them through a strobe effect. Ugh. Surely WPF can do better than that?
VS is not ruined by the new UI, though, and it's not like iTunes where the UI is non-standard and the program itself is also rubbish. VS redeems itself by what it can do, and VS2010 does seem an improvement overall (albeit a few steps backward as well as forward).
Here's hoping the re-written UI makes it easier for MS to add & improve things in future versions, but I really do have to wonder why someone hasn't taken the 10 minutes needed to make that Project Settings dialog resize. It's such a simple dialog that it would take so little time to do.
