Microsoft has announced the general availability of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4. Together, these technologies simplify the entire development process, enabling developers to target new platforms and build high-quality applications. The announcement was made at TechED 2010, held from April 12 to 14, Microsoft's technology conclave in India for developers, IT professionals and technology/ business decision makers.
