Introducing .NET Framework 4.5 Beta
Update (2017): See .NET Framework releases to learn about newer releases. This release is no longer supported. In September, we released the .NET Framework 4.5 Developer Preview.

Across the many downloads of the Developer Preview, we expect that many of you tried a broad range of developer activities with the new pre-release version of the product, such as: using the new .NET Framework 4.5 features, trying out Visual Studio 11 Deve...
VS2010 SP1 + MVC4 Beta workaround for cshtml/vbhtml editor’s long pause
We shipped MVC4 Beta recently, and found it may cause VS2010 sp1 cshtml/vbhtml editor to pause for a long time after typing snippet, JavaScript inside cshtml or vbhtml files, if the MVC4 application has just been created and has not been compiled.The workaround is to compile the project to get the assemblies in the bin folder. Note, if you clean the project which removes the assemblies from the bin folder, the editor problem will come back.We are actively working on a resolution for this issue for next release. Thanks.Best regards.Xinyang QiuWeb Platform and Tools Team3/6/2012 update: If you meet VS 1...
How to create a Web Deploy package when publishing a ClickOnce project
The other day I saw a question on StackOverflow (link in resources below) asking How you can create a Web Deploy (AKA MSDeploy) package when publishing a ClickOnce project. The easiest way to do this is to use the Web Deploy command line utility, msdeploy.exe. With the command line you can easily create an MSDeploy package from a folder with a command like the following: Here you can see that I’m using the sync verb, along with a contentPath provider (which points to a folder) as the source and the destination is using the package provider, this point to where I want the package to be stored. Now that...

Large Object Heap Improvements in .NET 4.5
Garbage collection is one of premiere features of the .NET managed coding platform. As the platform has become more capable, we’re seeing developers allocate more and more large objects. Since large objects are managed differently than small objects, we’ve heard a lot of feedback requesting improvement. Today’s post is by Surupa Biswas and Maoni Stephens from the garbage collection feature team. -- BrandonThe CLR manages two different heaps for allocation, the small object heap (SOH) and the large object heap (LOH). Any allocation greater than or equal to 85,000 bytes goes on the LOH. Copying la...
