VS2008

Is there any possible downside of completely replacing VS2005 with VS2008
willy-nilly? Shouldn't it work with all of my 2.0 projects and websites?

(I have MSDN vs2008 DVD (disk 4400))

Thanks,
Gary

the only downside is the 2.0 projects will be converted to vs2008 format, and
will be unusable from vs2005. if the whole team (or your solo) has vs2008,
no problem.

also if you use addin's there may not be a vs2008 version yet.

Install it side-by-side and see if you are happy. There is a known problem
with the VS2008 HTML designer. Some developers consider it as a showstopper
and reverse to 2005. See http://forums.asp.net/t/1194031.aspx for details.

Heh, that's nothing. Vista routinely hangs for up to a minute for me, so I
wouldn't even notice something like this. :-)

I used to use the Web Deployment Project with my VS2005 projects. Now I've fully upgraded to VS2008. Do I have to download a new version of the Web Deployment Project? If so where can I find it? If not, how do I have to change my deployment strategy? Thanks!

Hi everybody, We are currently using VS2003 and now we are in the porcess of upgrading to the next Visual Studio version. Does somebody have a real life experience with VS2008? My boss wants to go with VS2005 and I am trying to convince to buy VS2008. Can somebody provide links to compare 2 products in terms of how stable they are. I do not need VS2008 new features, I need to prove to my management that VS2008 is a stable product. TIA

I have vs2005 installed on the System disk and vs2008 installed on a different disk. I want to remove VS2005. I read one time about some problem with uninstalling vs2005 after vs2008 is installed but can't find the site now. Is there a problem? Would reinstalling vs2008 fix any problem that may occur because of uninstalling vs2005.

I was told that SqlServer express should get installed when VS2008Pro is installed (that is it is on the same DVD). I had a couple of errors during vs2008's installation and I don't see any signs of sqlserver. Is SqlServer Express suppose to get installed when VS2008 Pro is installed? Or should I download SqlServer and installed it that way?

I received a copy of VS2008 Standard Edition at a recent MS launch event. I need to test some code for MS Office (Excel) and also update a program I wrote in VS2003 for a mobile device (still to run on the same, ancient mobile device). I did a search for VS2008 upgrades, but the search returned an overwhelming number of upgrades from earlier versions of VS to VS2008, rather than any upgrade options from 2008 standard to 2008 pro. ...

Hello out there, I changed an existing and good working webservice from an wsHttpBinding to an NetTcpBinding. This is working (after trying some time) and has real a better performance! But one thing is strange: when I'm now actualising the web reference from within VS2008, VS2008 creates a 2nd endpoint config in my app.conf. The endpoint is exactly the same as the existing but the name and

I have found articles on line about using word interop for spell checking with visual studio applications. Most of the articles are several years old, though - VS2003, maybe 2005. I couldn't find anything for VS2008. Are there any new improvements in spell checking with VS2008? Thanks Bill

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
