I am using visual studio 2010 in Remote desktop(citrix).Debugging is ultimately slow.
Previously I had Visual studio 2008 which is 5 times faster than this.
I found out that sometimes debugging become very faster in 2010 similar to Visual studio 2008 and most of the time very slow.I am not able to find out the reason behind this.
I think this may be due to some performance issue with my computer or Remote desktop.
Can you please suggest a solution.

I recently started a new job, and got a machine with Visual Studio 2013 Proffesional installed. This would be great, except the colleague that I'm working with is using Visual Studio 2010. As far as I know, there is no way to work on the same project (or solution), without having quite a lot of issues, is this correct?
And if so, is it still possible to download Visual Studio 2010 (from a reliable source)? I cannot seem to find it anywhere in my MSDN subscriber downloads. All I can find is a stuff like service packs, tools, etc. Did they terminate the support of it?
You work on visual studio 2013 but there are option to select which version of visual studio you want select 2010 and run your project.
You should be able to open Visual Studio 2013 solutions in 2010, if you install Visual Studio 2010 SP1. There is a possibility that some project types won't be supported, but the solution should open.
We are currently in a position to move up from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010. Unfortunately, we don't have a server allocated for a TFS upgrade yet (should happen in about 6 months), so we are stuck with TFS 2005 for now. Will VS2010 be compatible with TFS 2005? If so, any potential issues we need to consider?
Visual Studio and Team Explorer 2010 do not officially support TFS 2005 servers (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx for the compat matrix). I don't think it is actively blocked, though, and it may work just fine for the mainstream scenarios. I don't have TFS 2005 server to try it.
Currently using VS2010 and TFS2005 here and they work well together.
I have got a pretty good config machine and VS 2010 Web Express edition debugging is very slow. it gets stuck between lines. I dont face this issue with Visual studio 2010 prof edition.
Any hotfix or patches or solution for this?
I faced a similar problem in VS 2008. Deleting(not disable) all breakpoints and restarting the debug session helped me get back to normal debugging.
You can give it a try.
Mostly it happens if we open a team project from tfs 2008 or tfs 2010, but crashes can happen any time.
When VS is closing down, it crashes nearly every time.
Tried trial RTM and our MSDN download - same story. Tried on three different PCs - same issue. Tried on 32 and 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 - crashes.
Is it just our luck or does it happen to you to?
Here are some tips that will hopefully help you identify the problem:

Ideally, get a call stack of the devenv.exe main thread with symbols loaded, and post it here (or even better), attach to the Connect bug. From the stack we'll likely be able to tell what kind of problem it is.
I logged it as an issue on Microsoft Connect.
There is a new release of the TFS Power Tools and Visual Studio 2010 Productivity Power Tools which seem to reduce the instances of VS crashing (although it still seems to crash from time to time). It might be worth checking out if you use either add-in.
Apparently, the crash was caused by using a DNS name in Connect to Team Foundation Server.
I replaced that with the IP address of the TFS server and the crashes went away.
We have two Windows Server 2003 DNS servers, and it looks like Visual Studio 2010 does not communicate with them correctly. Visual Studio 2008 connects to the TFS without any issues.
Apparently, there a bug:
"Large Visual Basic project crashes when closed"

Just curious how many people are actually running 2010 and what's your feedback so far?
Can I run 2010 concurrently with 2008 without issues?
Also, are 2008 projects 100% compatible with 2010 and if so should I just uninstall 2008?
Thanks for any feedback.
I've moved the whole development group for our project to VS2010 3 days after it came out. Before this I've been trying out the beta versions on my machine with some side projects.
From the experience I got I can say:
VS 2010 can easily run alongside VS
2008 on the same machine without any
issues whatsoever.
The projects
created in VS 2008 can be opened in
VS 2010. But when they are opened -
they will be updated to the new
format, and cannot be reopened in VS 2008. The changes aren't critical, so if it's necessary it is possible to
revert these changes. Possible, bt
not straightforward :)
This means that if you're working on a collaborative project, either the whole team moves to 2010, or you all stay with VS 2008. That doesn't mean you can't write your own projects in VS 2010 in parallel ^_^
UPD: I haven't met any projects that I wasn't able to convert using the conversion wizard. but just in case you can install VS 2010, convert your project, and see if it's all fine. If it is - work on it for a couple of days.. If you're completely satisfied - uninstall VS 2008 and feel good about it :D
Yes you can run 2010 concurrently with 2008. I wouldn't bet that every 2008 project can be opened/converted to a 2010 project otherwise Microsoft would have never spent so much time making the conversion wizard. The conversion wizard also mentions you should back up the files prior to conversion.
