What new tools can be found in Visual Studio 2010?

Edit:

  • Visual Studio 2010 now has UML integration
  • The UI is being Refreshed using WPF
A: 

here's a good start, I imagine there's other related questions on stackoverflow too.

A: 

Wikipedia lists a few:

  • Possibly use of a SQL Server Compact database for storing meta-data
  • Call Hierarchy feature for managed code, to show all code paths leading to a method
  • More modularity, more extensibility

There seems to be some kind of preview available, too.

+2  A: 

Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate includes code visualization and exploration tools such as generating sequence diagrams, dependency graphs, and layer diagrams from code. VS 2010 also supports UML class, sequence, component, use case, and activity diagrams. You can link UML diagrams to Team Foundation work items and extend your UML models. You can also validate code against layer diagrams to ensure that it does not conflict with the design.

I've posted more links on my profile for more info.
