Information about .NET 4.5 starting to emerge on MSDN

Posted: 16.10.2011 11.15.04 (EET/GMT+2)

At this writing, Microsoft is busy developing the next version of Windows, Visual Studio and the .NET Framework. If you are interested in the new features in .NET 4.5 (officially called .NET Framework 4.5 Developer Preview at this point), then the good news is that MSDN is ramping up the pre-release documentation on the next version of .NET.

Here are a couple of useful links. More information becomes available almost daily, so be sure to check out back often:

.NET for Metro style apps
ASP.NET 4.5
WPF in .NET 4.5
Windows Communication Foundation

Also, you can find more information about C# 5.0 and Visual Studio 11 on MSDN.

My favorite features so far include improved parallelism and asynchronicity, Metro support for Windows 8, IPv6 support and the WPF Ribbon control.
