This book is dedicated to my wife, Amye Gousset.
Once again, I scratched the itch to write, and once
again, she provided me all the love and support I
needed to make it happen. Amye, I love you more and
more each day.
— Mickey Gousset

This book is dedicated to my parents, Ray and Sue
Ellen Keller, who laid the foundation for me to
embark upon a lifetime of learning and a love of
technology. As a kid, they let me hijack the family
computer to teach myself how to program, and as a
young adult, they gave me the inspiration to explore
my passions, and the freedom to learn from my
failures. Mom and Dad, I love you.
— Brian Keller

I dedicate this book to my best friend and my wife,
Vidhya, and our wonderful children, Atul and Aditi.
Thank you for everything.
— Ajoy Krishnamoorthy

To Catherine, William, and Jamie.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK AJOY, BRIAN, AND MARTIN for taking this journey with me. You have

been incredible people to work with, and have truly made this a great experience. I’d like to thank
everyone at Wiley and Wrox, specifically Bob Elliot and Kevin Shafer, our editors. This book could
not have happened without their help and constant attention to detail. We also had some amazing
people doing technical edits on this book, including Clark Sell, Peter Provost, Siddharth Bhatia,
Mario Rodriguez, Justin Marks, David Williamson, and I’m sure many other names that I’ve
overlooked. To everyone who has helped to make this book the great product that it is, I thank you.
Finally, a big thank you to my family for your understanding, love, and support during the late
nights and long weekends when I disappeared into my office to write.

— Mickey Gousset

THE EFFORTS OF SO MANY PEOPLE went into the realization of this book that it’s hard to know
where to begin. Perhaps most fundamentally is the work of the engineering team within Microsoft’s
developer division, who have an insatiable drive for shipping great software that helps other
software development teams around the world realize their full potential. Visual Studio 2010 is an
incredibly exciting release, and is the inspiration for this book. David Williamson was the primary
technical reviewer for the chapters I contributed, and his thoughtful suggestions contributed greatly
to the quality of this book. I also received help from Anutthara Bharadwaj, Daryush Laqab, Ed
Glas, Euan Garden, Gautam Goenka, Habib Heydarian, Katrina Lyon-Smith, Mark Mydland,
Michael Rigler, Tanuj Vohra, Ted Malone, Vinod Malhotra, and scores of others over the last year
and a half. Finally, I would like to thank our publisher and my co-authors, who I am proud to share
this accomplishment with.

—Brian Keller
I OWE A BIG THANKS TO MY good friend Jean-Luc David for his persistence in getting me to work

on this book. I was fortunate to have the chance to work with a talented team of fellow authors.
Mickey, Brian and Martin, thank you, and I truly enjoyed working with you on this book.
Several members of the Visual Studio team offered their help, and I am thankful for that. I owe a lot
of gratitude to Aaron Bjork, Siddharth Bhatia, John Socha-Leialoha, Sunder Raman, David Brokaw,
Gokula Thilagar, Habib Heydarian, Justin Marks, and Brad Sullivan. They were all busy shipping
a product, but never hesitated to help me when I reached them with questions, or needed more
information and access to pre-release bits. Thanks to every one of you for your timely help.
I want to thank my manager John deVadoss and my colleagues at Patterns and Practices for their
great support and encouragement throughout the course of this writing project.

www.it-ebooks.info


Finally, I can’t thank my family enough for allowing me to spend countless hours during evenings
and weekends on this book. Vidhya, Atul, and Aditi, none of this would have been possible without

your encouragement, support, and understanding. I have missed several rounds of board games,
trips to the play area, bed-time routines, and more. I promise you that I will do the best to make up
for the lost time. Thank you for everything.

— Ajoy Krishnamoorthy
I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HELP, advice, and assistance from the people both inside and

outside the Visual Studio team at Microsoft. Special thanks go to Aaron Hallberg, Brian Randell,
Buck Hodges, Clark Sell, Jim Lamb, Julie MacAller, Mario Rodriguez, Matthew Mitrik, and
William Bartholomew, without whom my contributions to this book would not have been possible.
Thanks also to Rob Caron, Jeff Beehler, Brian Harry, Doug Neumann, Eric Sink, and Corey Steffen
for encouraging my involvement in the Visual Studio community over the past five years.
I would like to thank my co-authors for bringing me into this project, and for helping me fulfill
a lifetime ambition of writing a book. I would also like to thank my dad, Roy Woodward, and
my much missed mum, Val Woodward. They got me started down this whole computing path by
getting me a Vic-20 at the age of 6, and got me a typewriter at the age of 8. With that sort of start,
you’d think I’d have written a computer book at the age of 10, but instead I re-wrote “Ghostbusters”
and co-authored a novel about a pink sofa. Well Mum — I got there in the end.
Last but not least, I would also like to thank my wife, Catherine, for her encouragement and support,
and for helping me fi nd the time to write this book in our already busy lives. She has heard the
phrase, “I’m nearly done, just fi nishing this last bit up,” more times than anyone deserves, yet,
bizarrely, has still not figured out that she is way out of my league.
