A word of warning:

Don't do it :-)

I'm v.guilty for using all the latest technologies so a few weeks back I installed IE9 Beta.

Problems encountered:

MVC2 projects getting 404 a lot, I did see this discussed in an interview with Phil Hack and there was a debate on wheather IE9 was just too fast for MVC2.... do you buy it??

Also I've been having problems with the editor I use to write my blog posts, been using raw html as it just didnt work, tonight i tried and compatibility mode and it works again :-)

What have I gained... nothing new that i'm using.... until I get some time to run through HTML5  (on a months holiday from work, wedding next week and putting final touches on the new house... time constraints ey! )

There are a few options when restricting what properties of a type get automatically bound by the framework.

Take the Loler type seen in my other MVC2 blog posts.

Notice only the ID Name and Description properties will be bound by MVC Framework.

Per Usage restriction

Action method restrictions

Below are two screenshots of two alternative mechanisms for handling a MVC2 post.

Take some time to explore the new vs2010 debugger.

Those of you to have experience with multithreading know that it can be a right old PIA (and i'm not talking Primary interop assembly here!).

Try the parallel tasks/stacks in vs2010 and see just how valuable a friend they become :-)

In recent times, CPU clock speeds have stagnated and manufacturers have shifted their focus to increasing core counts.
This is problematic for us as programmers because our standard single-threaded code will not automatically run faster as a result of those extra cores.

Spend some time investigating the new Tasks in .net 4.0
