    Abstract
    Based on real life experience of 8+ hours a day developing with Visual Studio 2010, learn some sweet tips and tricks to tame the IDE. With something new for everyone, these techniques will give you valuable information to start using right away, increase your productivity, and make you wonder how you survived all this time without them.
