I was always in a strange excitement when waiting for a new CTP, Beta or RTM of Visual Studio because I always expected some great new features with every release. During the years I have bought a few third-party add-ins and utilities for Visual Studio to make my development tasks easier and even created small add-ins to produce some useful piece of code. I knew that Visual Studio was extensible; I downloaded the SDKs and tried to get familiar with those hundreds of extensibility interfaces. However, due to lack of good documentation I often got frustrated. </p>http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=060083 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMTcode-magazine.com/rss/7d46e958-0703-44d6-bc35-4a8792784200Exclusive online-only article!<h2>Publisher's Point E-Column: What's The Resolution? </h2><p>Markus Egger discusses screen resolutions.</p>http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=060033 Mon, 29 May 2006 00:00:00 GMTcode-magazine.com/rss/ae7b369d-7f59-4ede-aae0-3722f0aa16d7Exclusive online-only article!<h2>Publisher's Point E-Column: How Many Threads Do You Need? </h2><p>Markus Egger discusses the need to create multi-threaded applications.</p>http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=050153 Mon, 6 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMTcode-magazine.com/rss/a6b624aa-633f-4cbf-8827-45ff8917ec1aExclusive online-only article!<h2>Publisher's Point E-Column: Beyond the Mists of Avalon </h2><p>Markus Egger discusses tools used to create WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation, formerly "Avalon") interfaces, in particular, WinFX Extensions for Visual Studio as well as the Microsoft Expression product line.</p>http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=050133 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMTcode-magazine.com/rss/0cc83d7a-9a1e-4005-be7b-7227561e7554Exclusive online-only article!<h2>Publisher's Point E-Column: LINQ Up! </h2><p>At PDC 2005, Microsoft announced a new technology called Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which will be available with Visual Studio “Orcas” (the next version of Visual Studio).
