Visual Studio 2010 Increased productivity (i)

Each developer deserves a wonderful development environment. This environment allows them to write, understand, browse, and debug code as efficiently as possible. After all, developers spend most of their time in the IDE.

We have always followed this principle when designing and building visual Studio 2010. The IDE we have released has dramatically improved the development experience. From today to the next few weeks, I will focus on my favorite new features for productivity improvement in Visual Studio 2010. Some of these are small new features that need to coordinate the efforts of the entire team, but each feature makes life easier for developers.

Multi-monitor support

Many developers have invested a lot of time and money in creating a good coding environment: just the right chair, the HT keyboard, of course, two or three monitors to make the most of every inch of the screen. Prior to vs 2010, a single window of Visual studio did not allow you to divide the code into multiple monitors, but now it all changed. Tear-off tabs allows you to drag the Code window and Tool window outside of the Visual Studio window frame, to another place on your screen or to another monitor. You can drag as many windows out of the Visual Studio window frame as you like, and you can put them back into the Editor tab or back to the Visual Studio framework, depending on your liking.
