Upgrading RDLC reports to Report Viewer 2010 in an ASP.NET web application
One of the web applications I am working on is an ASP.NET MVC 2 site targeting .NET 3.5 SP1 that uses the Microsoft Report Viewer control with local-mode RDLC reports. I initially developed this application using Visual Studio 2008. The client was OK if I started to use Visual Studio 2010, as long as I didn’t require .NET 4.0 just yet. The multi-targeting features of VS2010 were working great. I had started really enjoying VS 2010 and had no intention to go back to 2008. Then I needed to do some report work so I double clicked one of my RDLC files and was surprised to see this message box:

Red Gate will take over development of Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector

Stepping through .NET Framework source code is now possible
This is the big news today. You can now configure Visual Studio 2008 to step through .NET 3.5 source. Scott Hanselman has the steps to set this up...except for one detail. When installing the QFE (KB944899) patch, you'll need to have your the VS 2008 installation disk you used to install in your DVD drive (or have the ISO mounted). If you don't, the patch just silently rolls back and fails.
