7. Property Value Source Locator Allows you to find from where a property is getting its value. Find our answers like why is my button Red
8. Enhanced Property Editors Search through properties Brush Selection Font Selection Extract value to a resource Apply a resource value Icons in the property editor
9. Easier Layout Options Right click and choose option reset layout All – Resets both margins, sizing and alignment properties of the control Sizing – Resets the height and width of the control Alignment – Resets the alignment of the control Margins – Resets the margins of the control Snap lines Modifying Z-Order Easier switching between fixed and dynamic size Grid Layout Control Enhancements Add Rows, Move Rows, Swap Rows, Delete Rows

17. Client Profile What is…? A Subset of .NET Framework 4.0 Optimized for client applications Provides functionality for most client apps including WPF Windows Forms WCF Click Once What does it enables…? Faster deployments Smaller Install Package (28 Mb)
18. What is not in .NET Framework Client Profile ASP.NET Advanced Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) functionality .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle MSBuild for compiling
19. Targeting Client Profile Use Visual Studio Project Templates View/Change Target Framework If Adding Ref to .NET 4.0 based assemblies (They should not be referring to non-client profile assemblies )
20. Deploying .NET Framework Client Profile Click Once Use client profile as launch condition Available as Local Package and Web Package Very small size
21. Troubleshooting Targeting Errors Common errors the type or namespace name "name" does not exist in the namespace "namespace". (Are you missing an assembly reference?) Type "typename" is not defined. Could not resolve assembly "assembly". The assembly is not listed as part of the "profile" Profile. Common Causes You Have Referenced an Assembly That Is Not Included in the Client Profile You Have Referenced a Project or Assembly That Targets a Different Version of the .NET Framework You Have Re-Targeted a Project to a Different Version of the .NET Framework

You can view or change the target framework for a project in Visual Studio.If you attempt to reference an assembly in your project that is not included in the .NET Framework Client Profile, Visual Studio will display an error message.If your application targets the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile, you can add a reference to a class library that targets the .NET Framework 4 as long as that library does not reference any assemblies not included in the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. If the library does include references to assemblies not in the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile, then Visual Studio will display an error message.
