Does anyone know where i can find a decently thorough list of the language
changes in VB2008, such as the new If() function?
All i can seem to find through search engines, most of the articles all talk
about LINQ, with only cursory mention - at best - of any other new features.
Thanks in advance, ...
Arthur Dent.

Thanks for the link. It *does* look like one of the better articles, but
still doesnt really cover the new features to the actual _language_ of VB.

Hi Arthur,

seems to be pretty well.

I am not able to find any reference to an If() function in VS2008. Did you
mean Iif() function?
The most compeling thing about VS2008 is that it is a major bug fix for
VS2005. I am not experiencing all the hangs I used to get in the previous
version (when working on a large solution). Further to this 2008 loads much
faster, projects load much faster and the IDE is much more stable. Help also
loads much faster.
If you like VS2005 you will love VS2008
Yes, i've been using the Express version until the product actually ships...
for us non-MSDN people. ;)
If() is a new function in 2008... it has two overloads,
If(booleanCondi tion, resultIfTrue, resultIfFalse) this works
basically like Iif() but with lazy evaluation (FINALLY!!)
If(object, defaultValue) this returns the value of object if possible,
otherwise it returns defaultValue. Sort of a VB implementation of Sql
Server's IsNull function or ORACLE's NVL.
Then things like the shortcut for creating a nullable value...
Dim var As Nullable(Intege r) can now be Dim var As Integer?
Those are the little things i'm looking to find out about... some sort of
thorough listing of those kinds of changes.
CheerZ! :)

I am trying to make a VB2008 Express winforms project, and edit the form.
However, when i try to open the form, i get this error:
..NET Framework 2.0 update not found. The win32manifest will not be embedded.
It considers it a fatal error, and will not let me edit the form, either in
code or design view.
I have frameworks 1.1, 2.0, 3.5 installed, and all Windows Updates (sans
DreamScene).

Looking to migrate from VB2005 Pro to VB2008. Can anyone
suggest/recommend a VB2008 book that highlights the changes from

totally from scratch? I suspect that this may be asking too much in

there still may be something out there that is written with existing

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.
