    Re: Language used

    Short answer is: VB.NET and C#... and with 2010, WPF was used for the IDE interface.

    I seriously doubt that much of the package was done in either C# or VB.Net. More likely C++, probably even the part of the IDE using WPF is C++/CLI.

    Re: Language used

    I doubt that.
    The feel of the IDE tells me it's .NET powered.

    Re: Language used

    Well C++/CLI (a.k.a. "Managed C++") is .Net, if that's what you're getting at.

    Microsoft is careful not to spook the herd. I don't think any of the official presentations mention the languages used.

    Here's a pretty detailed one on the use of WPF: WPF in Visual Studio 2010. Reading the whole thing you might be surprised how much COM is in the IDE even today, mostly part of the IDE extensibility model. There's a reason for that: lots of Visual Studio "plugs in to" the IDE via COM interfaces.

    Re: Language used

    This question has been asked specifically more than once in the slow chats. The response was that they used a mix oc C/C++/C#/VB/NET and WPF ... they've never hidden that fact. I've seen it mentioned by several of the MS VS Team members more than once... here, CG, PDC, TechED, MSDN Forums... That's not to say there isn't some COM in there still some where. They are using what "works" in the places where it "works" (I put quotes because I still am not completely sold on the use of WPF for the IDE... I think they would have been better served using something with greater performance).

    Re: Language used

    WPF's real problem is that it just isn't fully baked yet. They sort of conceded that when they had to rework it even to make the WPF parts of the VS 2010 IDE work, probably a lot of it in the area that led to fuzzy text and poor scrolling performance in early previews.
