Hello guy,

they works together without any problems.
Just install Vs 2008 properly, with AJAX version redirection patch

Hello,

while it might work well I would never do it. You *may* run into problems
upgrading Beta 2 to RTM which may not be resolvable by removing the beta 2
before installing RTM.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause

No, it is not safe. VS 2008 is in beta 2 at this point, and I've already
experienced several issues as a result of installing it. It may affect the
behavior and/or performance of VS 2005. That said, I do have it on a couple
of machines, and have found the interference acceptable, although at times
rather frustrating.

Hi Guy,

Did you uninstall the Beta already once and install the beta again?
As the other show can this give issues, I did not do that yet.

Serious question

Cor is making a valid point here. While you may well not have issues running
the two together, uninstalling the VS 2008 Beta 2 will almost certainly
break VS 2005. Check the readme in the ISO.

But it is so much fun to play with betaware on a production machine Kevin.

If this is a production development box, I would say no. You probably will
not have problems today, but it is not worth the risk on a production
machine. Your mileage may vary.

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!

I am using the Professional version. In VS2005, in a C++/CLI project, to create a new item, there were 9 templates and in VS2008 there are only 3 templates. For example, now the template for DataSet or Stored Procedure does not exist in VS2008. This is definitive or in next dates there will be more templates?

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

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

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'm working on a small Web project in VS2008. In VS2005 it was recommended that DataSet be placed in App_Data folder (the framework did that automatically). In VS2008 the framework does not give me that option. The Add.New Item in the App_Data context menu does not even list the DataSet. Does anyone know what is behind the change and what the recommended practice is? Thanks.

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,...
