Ungrading from VS2005 to VS2008?

4 New Member
I have upgraded some of my projects (C++ & C#) from VS2005 to VS2008. I have noticed that all my executables have increased in size by about 50% in release mode.

I have examined project properties and cannot see what could cause this to happen. Even a simple "Hello World" console app compiles into a larger EXE in VS2008 compared with VS2005.

This is kind of important for frequently downloaded components.

Has anyone else observed this? Will appreciate any help or insights.

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

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.

Hi. This is my scenario that I hope I can find a solution for: A VS2005 solution containing a web app project, a web service project and a simple client library project that only consumes the web service and is used by the web app. A VS2008 solution containing the same web service code as in the VS2005 solution above. How do I construct a solution so that at runtime the client library in the VS2005 solution properly exposes the correct...

Hi, After installing SP1 for VS2008 and SP1 for .NET 3.5 we get the following warning in a VS2005 build: error CS0618: Warning as Error: 'System.Windows.UIElement.BitmapEffect' is obsolete: 'Avoid using BitmapEffects as they have very poor performance characteristics. They will be deprecated in a future version. Consider using the UIElement.Effect property and ShaderEffects where appropriate instead.'

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...

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.
