The latest finalized versions of Visual Studio and .NET Framework have been around for quite some time now, almost half a year taking into consideration the November 2007 release to manufacturing dates. But while .NET Framework 3.5 was made available for download at the end of the past year, the "official" launch of Visual Studio 2008 was pushed back until February 2007, as the latest iteration
The debugger is your friend. There is simply no more powerful tool than a debugger for learning C# and for writing quality C# programs. The debugger helps you understand what is really going on when your program is running. It is the x-ray of software development, allowing you to see inside programs and diagnose potential problems. Without a debugger you are guessing; with a debugger you are seeing. It is as simple as that. Whatever time you invest in learning to use your debugger is time well spent. The debugger is also a powerful tool for understanding code written by others. By putting someone else's code into the debugger and stepping through it, you can see exactly how the methods work and what data they manipulate. This book assumes you are working with Visual Studio .NE
Often you'll want to have more than one method with the same name. The most common example of this is to have more than one constructor with the same name, which allows you to create the object with different parameters. For example, if you were creating a Time object, you might have circumstances where you want to create the Time object by passing in the date, hours, minutes, and seconds. Other times, you might want to create a Time object by passing in an existing Time object. Still other times, you might want to pass in just a date, without hours and minutes. Overloading the constructor allows you to provide these various options.It would be convenient also to allow the client to create a new Time object by passing in year, month, date, hour, minute, and second values. Some cl

Types of Add-Ins in Visual StudioThere are two different Add-in project types: Visual Studio and Shared.A Visual Studio add-in can be loaded into both Visual Studio and the Visual Studio Macros IDE. Conversely, a Shared add-in can be loaded only into Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Visio, and Microsoft Excel. Also, each type offers a different set of options.For example, the Visual Studio Add-in Wizard allows you to:• Create a command bar user interface (UI) for your add-in,• Define when the add-in loads, and• Insert information into the Visual Studio Help About box.The Shared Add-in Wizard only allows you to:• Specify whether the add-in loads when the host application (that is, the Office application) loads, and• Specify wheth
Visual Studio Express is a set of freeware integrated development environments developed by Microsoft that are lightweight versions of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (codenamed Orcas) product line. The idea of express editions, according to Microsoft, is to provide a streamlined, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn IDEs for less serious users, such as hobbyists and students. The final versions were released on November 19, 2007. In line with popular demand since the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions[1], these editions will always remain free-of-charge. Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions require Windows XP or a later Windows version; Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows 9x are no longer supported.

By default, every MSI package built using Visual Studio 2008 requires .Net 3.5 even though the application is actually targeting .Net 2.0 or .Net 3.0.My computer has .Net 3.5 installed so I never notice this problem until I try to install the application on other PC. I changed the prerequisites in the project properties, but it didn't solve the problem. After spending almost half an hour inspecting every single properties in the setup project, I finally discovered the problem is caused by the launch conditions......In VS 2008, go to View \ Editor \ Launch Conditions. Select '.Net Framework' under 'Launch Conditions' folder, then go to the Properties window. Change the 'version' to desired .Net framework version. Rebuild the project and the problem is solved.

Loomulikult, enne kui kood hoidlasse läheb ja teistele kättesaadavaks muutub, kaovad enamasti ka need TODO märkused ära.

This package is an add-on to the RTM release of Visual Studio 2008 to provide tooling for Microsoft Silverlight 2 Beta 1. It provides a Silverlight project system for developing Silverlight applications using C# or Visual Basic.
New Web Design Interface Visual Studio 2008 has incorporated a new Web designer that uses the design engine from Expression Web. Moving between design and source view is faster than ever and the new split view capability means you can edit the HTML source and simultaneously see the results on the page. Support for style sheets in separate files has been added as well as a CSS properties pane which clarifies the sometimes-complex hierarchy of cascading styles, so that it is easy to understand why an element looks the way it does. In addition Visual Studio 2008 has full WYSIWYG support for building and using ASP.NET Nested Master Pages which greatly improves the ability to build a Web site with a consistent look and feel.

Some FAQ you might have:
FAQ
Q. Will my data be available after November 1, 2007?A.This is still being researched, however, currently the understanding is that customers will NOT be able to access their date after November 1st unless the data is moved to an alternate installation location.
Q. Can I reset my system date to re-enable the OS image?A.Again there is still research being done, however, from the current understanding of the problem resetting the system date back DOES NOT re-enable the OS image.
In the VS 2008, we have made some good strides in improving performance for some of the common scenarios that developers care about. We set explicit performance goals both for new product features and for improving the performance of existing features.
For example, with the new LINQ facility we set a goal that LINQ performance be significantly better than using a SqlDataAdaptor for the same query and competitive with using a SqlDataReader, the lightest weight interface available for retrieving data from SQL Server. In our testing, LINQ does in fact out-perform SqlDataAdaptor on almost every test case we tried, and in many of the exceptions, it is no more than 10% slower than using a SqlDataReader to accomplish the same task. Given the power of LINQ, we feel this is a very reasonable trade-off.
Some of the more prominent performance improvements in Visual Studio 2008 that we see include:

Beta 2 version of Visual Studio 2008 is out and can be downloaded for free from Microsoft’s Visual Studio Developer Center. Since this is a prerelease software, you are not advised to install it on your primary development machine as it might break things.
Microsoft is even providing links to VPC images for the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Beta 2. you will need Virtual PC or Virtual Server to run these images. You can download the Microsoft Virtual PC for free from here.
As per Microsoft:
Visual Studio 2008 is a unified toolset that enables developers and development teams to build great applications on the Microsoft platform. Support for Windows Vista and the Microsoft Office system development assist developers in building compelling rich client applications. Now, with included support for ASP.NET AJAX and the Silverlight Add-in for Visual Studio 2008, developers can also build a spectrum of rich interactive applications for the Web. As the Microsoft platform further i
I'm a big fan of the Visual Studio Express 2005 range of products. They cost nothing and are pretty powerful. In some respects they're better than the full-blown version of Visual Studio. They are super quick to load and if you're using FTP to upload ASP.NET web sites, Web Developer is easier to use than Visual Studio. I've been using it for the FreeFlow web site for a while. So I took the plunge and downloaded the beta 2 of the 2008 version of the C# and Web Developer. First impressions are good. The install was flawless. C# comes with a WPF designer, so I can finally get down to learning that without having to hand-code it. The Web Developer version comes with some AJAX controls so I can play around with them as well. And it's still free. The question is will there come a time when all Microsoft's development tools are free? We're signed up for the Empower program so they are virtually free for us anyway and presumably lots of other companies ar

The Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2008 (aka "Orcas") has been released. To download it, point your browser at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700831.aspx. If you're using the VPC version you'll first have to download and install the base virtual hard disk, Base01.vhd. It's available here. After extracting the VPC or DVD, you'll also have to download and run a script to prevent the beta from messing up any existing Ajax development you may be working on. Finally, if you are using the VPC image you can log onto the box using the username "Administrator" and the password "P2ssw0rd". It will prompt you to change the password once you log in for the first time. Scott Guthrie has been blogging about many of the cool features that are contained in Visual Studio 2008. Some of the things that I hope to try over the next few days: Working with Linq, especially trying to figure out how it would work in an n-tier architecture;Nesting master pages;Trying out the enhanced CSS support;Usin
No fewer than five major announcements in the development field are being issued by Microsoft this afternoon, the timing of which is by no means coincidental: On the top of the list, Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2008 will be made generally available for download by this Friday, along with Beta 2 of .NET Framework 3.5.

Ever wonder what it’s like to build and test a Web site which has to scale to over 260 million customers? This technical case study details how the Windows Live Hotmail team used the testing capabilities of Visual Studio Team System to ensure that the newest rollout of their site would live up to their site performance requirements.
Excerpts:
The operating environment that hosts Windows Live Hotmail is one of the most advanced data centers in the world. To go into great detail about how this data center is architected would be beyond the scope of this document. What we can say about his environment is that it is broadly categorized into front door servers and behind-the-scenes servers.
The goal established by the Windows Live Development team for the front door servers was that each server to be able to support 215,000 concurrent clients. However, to validate this goal, the team had to understand what their baseline was.

Microsoft on Friday said it would release this summer the 2008 version of the Visual Studio software development suite, which had been scheduled to ship next year along with major upgrades of Windows Server and SQL Server. S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate VP of the Microsoft Developer Division, said in his blog that the decision to ship Visual Studio 2008 and .Net framework 3.5 beta 2 this year was
Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 ("Orcas") and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 will all launch on February 27, 2008! So said Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2007 in Denver Colorado. The press release is here. Scott Guthrie later clarified in a comment on Scott Dorman's blog that release is often several weeks or months before the official launch.So it looks like we'll be able to start working with the new products around late January - which is good timing because I'm sure by then we'll be completely adapted to the huge changes in SQL 2005, Office 2007, .NET 3.5, WF, WCF, WPF, WWII, etc and ready to grab the next wave!
Today I was creating a workflow in Visual Studio so I could repackage it with content types and lists, rather than using SharePoint Designer where the workflow has to be applied to a specific list.Whenever I tried to create a new SharePoint Sequential Workflow Library project, I got the error: "The project type is not supported by this installation". Turns out I had a pre-release version of the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for .Net Framework 3.0 (Windows Workflow Foundation) - beta 1.2 to be precise. After uninstalling and reinstalling the release version, available here, I could create the workflow project.I'm currently following Nick Swan's excellent blog postings about how to create and deploy SharePoint workflows in Visual Studio: SharePoint 2007 Workflow with Visual Studio 2005 + InfoPath 2007 (RTM VERSION!) and Deploying our SharePoint 2007 Workflow with Visual Studio 2005 + InfoPath 2007 (RTM VERSION!) .
It has been a little quiet around here lately! Too quiet! Why? Well it is summer and even IT Pro Advisors get holidays, but we are also in full planning mode for the next set of tours that are kicking off in September.
