At Tech-Ed Barcelona, the new SharePoint related features of Visual Studio 2010 were presented in the keynote:
Taken from Paul Andrew’s Blog
Server Explorer for SharePoint viewing Lists and other artefacts in SharePoint directly inside of Visual Studio
Windows SharePoint Services Project (WSP file) Import to create a new solution
Added a new web part project item and showed the Visual web part designer which loads a user control as a web part for SharePoint
Showed adding an event receiver for SharePoint and using the wizard to choose the event receiver and to just create a source file with that event receiver.
Added an ASPX workflow initiation form to a workflow project and showed how this workflow initiation form has designer capability
Showed the packaging explorer and the packaging editor which lets you structure the SharePoint features and WSP file that is created
I’ve highlighted the features that I think are exciting, it’s good to see that more tooling support is coming.
