Yes.

But since 2008 can target .NET 2.0, then you will only need
it if you need to work with other team members using 2005.

When you open a solution in VS2008, it will convert the project files. You
can't then easily re-open it in VS2005. So you can't just go back and forth
between the versions of Visual Studio.

Just FYI.

If I recall correctly, Jon or Marc posted a hack that involved
hand-editing the solution file in a way that allows VS2005 to open VS2008
files.

If it's important to someone, they could Google back a few months to when
2008 came out and look for that message.

Yes.
You can install it in your computer.
Even you are going to create a program and build a setup.
But I think when it comes to web application
it is slightly more complicated.

Early 90's I was an avid backyard astronomer. Memorized one of your books
and had some great results. It's still in my astro library. I hope to get
another observatory set up one day when time permits such dalliances again
:-)

Great work and good to see you around!

If I upgrade a PC from VS 2003 to VS 2005, can I run either of them or will I only be able to use VS 2005? I have a project that was started in VS 2003 that is about to go into production. I am reluctant to make the switch for this project just yet though. I would like to be able to run VS 2003 if necessay for when I work on the old project, is this possible?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.
