While many of you may know that Visual Studio 2010 comes with a new WPF based, extensible editor, do you know why you should care? We will take a look at the new editor by examining a series of common scenarios that showcase what you can do with editor extensions. You can think of this as your crash course; you’ll learn some concepts, you’ll see some code, and you’ll walk away with a head full of possibilities.

Visual Studio has been around since 1997 when it first released many of its programming tools in a bundle. Back then it came in 2 editions - Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Enterprise. Since then the family has expanded to include many more products, tools, and services.
