Jul 05, 2016 We are excited to announce that SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) now supports developing databases using Always Encrypted. Always Encrypted is a feature in SQL Server 2016 and Azure SQL Database that ensures your sensitive data is never revealed in plaintext to the database system.
SQL Server Compact does not support entities with server-generated keys or values when it is used with the Entity Framework. When using the Entity Framework, an entity’s keys may be marked as server generated. This enables the database to generate a value for the key on insertion or entity creation.

Details: Improvements in this Release

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 includes an update to the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. For more information about the update, read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 2468871 Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.

Debugging Improvements

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 adds the following improvements:

Improvements when mini dump files and debugging mini dump files are opened.
Improvements to reduce hangs when attaching a process.
Reliability improvements in message passing interface (MPI) debugging.
Thread slipping improvements during function evaluation.

MFC-based GPU-accelerated Graphics and Animations

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 enables the following two technologies for MFC:

Direct2D, a hardware-accelerated, immediate-mode, 2-D graphics API that provides high performance and high-quality rendering for 2-D geometry, bitmaps, and text. For more information, read the Direct2D article.
Windows Animation Manager, which enables rich animation of user interface elements. For more information, visit Windows Animation Manager.You can take advantage of these two technologies without breaking the MFC programming model. Additionally, you can find demos in the following directory:drive:</strong>Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 10.0Samples1033VC2010SP1Samples.zipFor more information about the technology improvements in Visual Studio 2010 SP1, see MFC Additions for Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

New AMD and Intel instruction Set Support

Visual Studio 2010 SP1 adds intrinsic functions or intrinsics to enable the extensions on the AMD and Intel new microprocessors that will be released next year. The intrinsic functions allow for highly efficient computing without the overhead of a function call. For more information about the intrinsics function, see the Compiler Intrinsics article.For more information about the extensions, visit the Intel AVX third-party website.

SQL Updates

Data-Tier Application Project:

Style IntelliSense

Lets you easily modify styles that you already have in XAML. Now you get IntelliSense for properties and their values in a style that is based on the TargetType.

Data Source Selector

Lets you easily select and modify the data source information directly from the design surface.

Advanced Grid Commands

Lets you easily add, remove, and reorder grid rows and columns.

New Thickness Editor

Lets you bulk edit specific items such as margins or padding on multiple controls.

Sample Data Support

Lets you add sample data to see your item templates and bindings light up at design time. Not only does this make hooking up data bindings easier through the Data Binding Picker, it also means that you can design size-to-content and auto layouts much more smoothly. Also, the design time data will flow cleanly between Visual Studio and Expression Blend.

Increased Stability

Many stability improvements were made to Visual Studio 2010 SP1. For more information, visit the Final Release of Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 blog post.

Windows Forms Designer

You use the Visual Studio 2010 IDE to open a project that is in an earlier version. For example, you open a Visual Studio 2008 project. After a debug session, you cannot rebuild or debug the project again, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Unable to copy file objDebugassembly_name to binDebugassembly_name. The process cannot access the file binDebugassembly_name because it is being used by another process.
