Hi
I need to start a new win form project and I am wondering if I should
choose 2008 at this stage. My questions are following;
1. Is 2008 much different from vs 2005 in terms of skill set to prohibit
smooth development of application ie is there a steep learning curve for
common app development tasks?
It looks and feels the same. And, since you can target different versions of
the framework, you have the best of both worlds.
2. Is 2008 stable enough, at least as good as vs2005?
From my personal experience over the past week or so (and in the betas), it
is more stable. It boots up faster and runs compile and debug faster.
3. For infragistics users, is Infragistics NA for Winform 7.3 compatible
with 2008?
I would imagine so, but I did not have Infragistics installed on this
machine prior to installing. It is primarily add-ins that people are having
problems with, not controls.
NOTE: VS2008 can still compile 2.0 applications. The 3.5 Framework is set on
top of 2.0, so anything that works in 2.0 or 3.0 is fine.
