Hi all!

Greate news: visual studio 2010 beta 2 is ready for download!

Currently it is available only for MSDN subscribers. At October 21st Microsoft will push it to public.

Great news!

If you are getting "the installer was interrupted before installer_name could be installed" during installation of the setup package created by the web setup project, then try to check that AspNet is properly installed on IIS server.

To do it run next command:

"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{framework_version}\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i

After this installer should work :)

We were waiting it for so long and now it happened!

JetBrains published first public available build of ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010. You could get it from EAP download page.

Note that it is a preview:

ReSharper for Visual Studio 2010 (preview) - is an early build for those who are trying out Visual Studio 2010 and cannot live without ReSharper. It is neither 4.5.1 for VS10, nor 5.0 for VS10. It is intermediate result of our attempts to integrate with Visual Studio 2010 extensibility model, plus preliminary state of some of ReSharper v5 features (you will find some of them enabled). Complete roadmap for ReSharper v5 will be published soon.

Every one remember the bestseller of the Jeffrey Richter the 'CLR via C#'. Every .NET developer must have this book in his collection.

Today I was surprised that Jeffrey Richter is working now on next edition which will include C# 3.0 content as well as C# 4.0!

I have been asked by many people if I will be updating my CLR via C# book for .NET 4.0.

Well, I'm happy to report that the answer is YES! I have already signed the contract with Microsoft Press and have been busy writing.
