Motivations

Overview


• Windows 8• „Windows Runtime, or WinRT, is a cross-platform application

architecture used on the Windows 8 operating system.“(Wikipedia)

Motivations (cont.)

Overview


• Windows 8 • Architectural overview

Motivations (cont.)

Overview


• Windows XP• Visual Studio 2012 can’t be installed but „target platform” can be

Windows XP• Windows XP support is running out in middle 2014

• Windows 7• For only normal apps (Windows Store projects are not available)

• Windows 8 • Windows Store app development is supported on Windows 8 • Build and remote debugging supported in Windows 8 and Windows

Server 2012.

• Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows Server 2012

Supported Operating Systems

Overview


• Normal Desktop App• Doesn’t directly run on WinRT

• 32-bit Platform (WOW64)• Like in Visual Studio 2010• Move to 64-bit would cost enormous development efforts

• MSBuild • Runs out-proc to reduce memory footprint in devenv.exe• And in multiple instances based on CPU-cores

• Front-end• WPF• Lots of asynchronous behaviors, e.g. loading projects of a solution

Visual Studio 2012 Key Design Decisions

Overview


Agenda





• Supported projects• Visual C# .NET and Visual Basic .NET projects, including Windows

Store apps, and assembly files (DLL or EXE).• Visual C++ projects, including Windows Store apps, that have C or

C++ code (managed or native), header files (.h or #include), and binary files.

• Directed Graph Markup Language (DGML)• XML-based format• DGQL (Directed Graph Query Language) for Architecture Explorer

• Visual Studio 2010• Resource/Performance issues occured in case of large solutions

Architectural Tools – Dependency Graph

VS 2012 Ultimate


• Can be created for• Visual Studio Solutions• Project files (.csproj, .vbproj, .vcxproj)• .NET and native C/C++ assemblies

• Useful• Understand relationships among assemblies

• Instead of debugging all day and night• Or reading call stacks

• In case of code reviews • Based on the pending changes DGML graphs can be generated• Vertical features can

Architectural Tools – Dependency Graph (cont.)

VS 2012 Ultimate

~ 150 projects Line thickness for dependency


Architectural Tools – Architecture Explorer

VS 2012 Ultimate

Call-graph generated from the current selection below


• VS 2010 resource problems• But now:

• Cyclometic Complexity• Depth of Inheritance• Class Coupling• LOC• „Maintainability Index” as summary from the above metrics

• Results can be exported to Excel

Architectural Tools – Code Metrics

VS 2012 Ultimate


• Layer diagrams• Not only visualizing architectural tiers• But setting up rules for very large solutions with hundreds of

projects (can be executed as MSBuild target at the end)

• Huge Benefits• Layers help to understand basic design decisions• Newbies can’t overwrite design aspects• Build errors if architectural rules are broken

Architectural Tools (cont.)

VS 2012 Ultimate


• Trace Engine• „Modern” environment for debugging• Supports all managed code-related technology• It always runs parallel with normal debug session

• Collected data• Debugger events (Start, Stop, )• .NET Exceptions• .NET Framework Events• Function calls

• History• Not only a snapshot, but really the whole lifecycle of a program

execution

IntelliTrace

VS 2012 Ultimate


• In production environments• Install IntelliTraceCollection.cab file that ships with Visual Studio

2012• Configure for data-collection

• via PowerShell for ASP.NET• by IntellitraceSC.exe for managed apps

• Results to iTrace files• Microsoft Test Framework also uses the same technique

• iTrace files• For debugging based on the collected data on dev-machines

IntelliTrace

VS 2012 Ultimate


• Up to 2010• Only MSTest was supported• Test Explorer and test settings files could only list/visualize these

kinds of tests• MSTest.exe could only execute these tests

• Problems• Productive projects not always use MSTest

• Preferred: NUnit, xUnit.net and QUnit

• Every framework has its own thread-concept• In VS 2010 we tried to implement own TestAdapter for NUnit• .NET 4.0. framework would have been targeted

Test Improvements

VS 2012 Ultimate


• 3rd party test-frameworks now supported• All necessary interfaces now published• Popular framework downloadable from Visual Studio Gallery

Test Improvements (cont.)

VS 2012 Ultimate


• 3rd party test-frameworks now supported• E.g. NUnit


VS 2012 Ultimate


• 3rd party test-frameworks now supported• Analyze Code Coverage


VS 2012 Ultimate
