Does anyone know what will be in .NET 4.0?
I found tuples on codeplex:
....
// NOTE : this is a TEMPORARY and a very minimalistic implementation of Tuple'2,
// as defined in http://devdiv/sites/docs/NetFX4/CLR/Specs/Base Class Libraries/Tuple Spec.docx
// We will remove this after we move to v4 and Tuple is actually in there
public struct Tuple<TFirst, TSecond>
....
Parallel Extensions
WCF/WF improvements
I expect BigInteger will be back, too. I'd really like to see a bunch of the F# immutable collections become part of ".NET proper" too - and that wouldn't surprise me at all.
I have seen the usage of dynamic keyword in C# 4.0 from Anders Hejlsberg's JAOO talk. It allows calling methods in a late-bindish way which will really help in COM interop scenarios.
Usage:
// Instead of this:
object calc = GetCalculator();
Type calcType = calc.GetType();
object res = calcType.InvokeMember("Add",
BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null,
new int[] { 10, 20 });
int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res);
// you can write this:
dynamic calc = GetCalculator();
int sum = calc.Add(10, 20);

Glenn Block confirmed on a recent Herding Code episode that MEF would be part of .NET 4.0.
