Diplomat Moves to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

The Axis Diplomat 2010 source code has been ported to the latest development environment from Microsoft (C) - Visual Studio 2010 (R).

Some of the advantages of Visual Studio 2010 are:

• Provides interfaces to the latest operating system facilities in Windows 7 (and Windows 8) whilst retaining support for legacy operating systems.
• More support for multi-threaded applications. We are increasingly modifying heavily used parts of Diplomat to use multiple threads to improve the user experience and leverage the performance of multi-core hardware.
• Better code profiling to spot bottlenecks in programs and allow us to improve program performance.
• Better source level error checking to identify potential bugs before the program even runs.
• Better debugging facilities to identify obscure problems more quickly.
• A host of geeky improvements to the programming interface for our programmers to enable them to code faster and more reliably.

The transition has already saved us time and spotted problems that could have caused you headaches.
