Are there any definite advantages of VB2008 over VB2005?
Thank in advance.

Michael,
There are tons of advantages, but even beside those, in my opinion works
version 2008 smoother.

I second Cor's opinion. Lots of bugs gone. The ability to target .Net 2.0,
3.0 or 3.5. My impression is that 2008 is faster, more stable and "smoother"
in general. Fully supported in Vista. etc.
You do lose J#, but you can add F#.
Besides the UI improvements, esp. for ASP.Net developers, http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/134/orcas/
you might want to check out this video (16 minutes): http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=328382
Even if you are still targeting CLR 2.0, you can still take
advantage of many of the improvements in the IDE.
I once tried upgrading a 150,000-line project from VS2005
to VS2008 and I could continue working on it (targeting
CLR 2.0) and compile it without any problems.
There is an SP1 on the way for VS2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstu.../cc533447.aspx
For ASP.Net developers it should be a no-brainer. For small,
client-only WinForms applications, not so sure. In a team
environment where everybody is not ready to make the
jump, maybe not a good idea either.
But "definite advantages" is a relative term and depends
on where you are now and what you want to do.

Joergen Bech

In addition to the other replies, note that VB 2008 (the IDE) provides
design time support for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and other
technologies introduced with .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5, which are not available
for VB 2005.

However, when i try to open the form, i get this error:

It considers it a fatal error, and will not let me edit the form, either in

Someone told me it can't be done.
Is there a way of doing that?

Looking to migrate from VB2005 Pro to VB2008. Can anyone
suggest/recommend a VB2008 book that highlights the changes from
earlier versions of VB.Net (VB2003/2005) rather than describing VB2008
totally from scratch? I suspect that this may be asking too much in
that few books will focus exclusively on migrating/upgrading, but
there still may be something out there that is written with existing
users of VB.Net in mind. I'm obviously looking...
