2) User Control (“HeaderForm”)

Control Hierarchy
3) Drop Down List (“States”)

Resulting Client IDs:

 Managed Extensibility
Framework?

The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a

new library in the .NET Framework that enables
greater reuse of applications and components. Using
MEF, .NET applications can make the shift from
being statically compiled to dynamically
composed
Open/Closed Principle

Software entities should be

open for extension,
but closed for modification.

The Parallel Computing Initiative

Letting the brightest developers solve

business problems, not concurrency
problems.

“Concurrency for the masses”

Parallel Computing with .NET 4

1. Task Parallel Library (TPL)

2. Parallel LINQ (PLINQ)

3. Coordination Data Structures (CDS)

4. System.Threading Improvements
 Parallel LINQ

Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) enables developers to easily

leverage manycore with a minimal impact to
existing LINQ programming model

var q = from p in people.AsParallel()

        where p.Name == queryInfo.Name &&
p.State == queryInfo.State &&
p.Year >= yearStart &&
p.Year <= yearEnd
        orderby p.Year ascending
        select p;

DLR INTEGRATION
 Type Equivalence

Interop Assemblies translate between

managed code and COM

For each interface, struct, enum,

delegate, and member, contains a
managed equivalent with marshalling data
 However!

Primary Interop Assemblies

cause many pain points…
 Go Away, PIA!

1. Compilers embed the portions of the

interop assemblies that the add-ins
actually use

2. Runtime ensures the embedded

definitions of these types are
considered equivalent

 .NET Framework Compatibility

.NET 4.0 is a highly compatible release

.NET 4.0 does not auto–roll forward
You must add a configuration file with a specific switch to get 3.5
apps to run on 4.0
 .NET Framework Compatibility

Hang on… if 4.0 is compatible,

why not run 3.5 apps
automatically on 4.0?
The BEST thing is always to prefer
running on the version of the
framework you built against
Contact [email protected]
and submit your app for testing!
