In other news, VSALMDC released documentation for Visual Studio Feature Pack 2 and created additional content for the MSDN Library.

First, a caveat: VS 2010 SP1 Beta recently shipped with a go-live license. This post is not about that.

We just published updates to the Team Foundation SDK , which now covers the server object model . We're making some other changes, too. Of course, we're adding more content to the reference material. For example, we've added information that we think you'll find useful in Microrosoft.TeamFoundaiton.WorkItemTracking.Client Namespace , including a co...
These videos show how you can use code visualization tools, such as dependency graphs, DGML, and Architecture Explorer, to help you understand what's going on in unfamiliar code: For more information, see Visualizing Existing Code in the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate product documentation.PS: Please...
