Improving the Start-up Performance of the WPF and Silverlight Designer in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

Hello, I am trying to use SSIS Designer with BI Development Studio.  I downloaded MS Visual Studio 2010 Beta and do not find an option to get into either the SSIS Designer or BI Development Studio. Can someone please help?   Thanks, Chela 

Many exciting changes for ASP.NET are coming in the .NET Framework version 4. This document gives an overview of many of the new features that are included in the Beta 2 release of the .NET Framework 4 and of Visual Studio 2010.

This is a big deal. This isn't ".NET 3.6" - there are a lot of improvements of .NET 4, and it's not just "pile on a bunch of features so you get overwhelmed." I've been working with and talking to many of the teams involved and even though it's a cheesy thing to say, this is a really customer-focused release.

There's a lot of stuff that's new and added in .NET 4, but not in that "overwhelming-I-need-to-relearn-everything" way. More in that, "oh, this is way easier/simpler now" way. Like, moving data around with ADO.NET DataServices is easy, binding with client templates is easy, there's F# if you need it, the "dynamic" keyword if you need it, Silverlight's already installed, oh, and the parallel stuff will freak you out, but in a good way.

Good day all. I have the following question: WPF designer in both VS 2008 and VS 2010 crashes with Visual Studio when I try to edit UI form. Moreover, it crashes even when I try to save .xaml.cs file. Meanwhile, Winforms and Dataset UI editors work as usual. Are there other people met this issue? And how could I fix up this problem? Deleting the .suo file, uninstalling silverlight, repairing visual studio, and further googling did not help me. Thanks in advance.

Are there some recommended settings or updates that address the performance of the Visual Studio 2010 Design Editor.  The smallest changes max CPU usage for literally minutes Are there third party editors available?  

I'm having a problem with Visual Studio 2010 that is proving to be extremely difficult to find a solution for. Any help is appreciated. I have a custom library that handles regular expression validation for me. This library sits plainly on our server for everyone to access. In my most recent WPF application I've been learning about ValidationRules. I created my own custom rule that would simply test the input against a supplied regex pattern. Here's an example of the XAML. <TextBox Grid.Column="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" Style="{StaticResource sTextBox}" Validation.ErrorTemplate="{StaticResource TextBox}" SourceUpdated="ProductQuantity_TargetUpdated"> <TextBox.Text> <Binding Path="Quantity" Mode="TwoWay" NotifyOnValidationError="True" NotifyOnSourceUpdated="True" NotifyOnTargetUpdated="True" ValidatesOnDataErrors="True" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged" ValidatesOnExceptions="True"> <Binding.ValidationRules> <vr:RequiredField Label="Quantity" /> <vr:RegularExpression Label="Quantity" ValidationPattern="NumberAbsoluteNoDecimals" /> </Binding.ValidationRules> </Binding> </TextBox.Text> </
