VS 2008 New Features

ScottGu summarizes the new web designer and web development features in VS 2008. It uses the same HTML designer as MS Expression does and HTML and CSS support is far broadest as never before. The cool thing is that you can use these new designer features on any ASP.NET 2.0 also because of the new multi-targeting support.

If you use ASP.NET AJAX, the new version for .NET Framework 3.5 includes many improvements.

And finally – there is nested master pages support.

Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Go Live

Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 is available for download. You can download specific edition of VS or get the full Team Suite. There are separate downloads for Team Foundation Server and Load Test Agent. You can also find VPC images with VS 2008.

The release includes .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 and Silverlight 1.0 RC.

What makes it even more appealing to us is the Go Live license. It means that you get full support from MS Support on this beta software and you can start integrating it into your production systems.

Remember that team editions are renamed and instead for Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Developers you should say Visual Studio Team System 2008 – Development Edition.

Find more info at Somasegar's blog.

Orcas March 2007 CTP

Visual Studio “Orcas” March 2007 CTP is now out. It is a VPC which you can download and run right away.
This edition includes a lot of new features that you would love. Important thing to have in mind is this CTP updates almost all editions of Visual Studio Team System. There is something for everyone. Here are some items that I found interesting at first glance:

LINQ over XML (XLinq) - Event Model - This allows LINQ to XML trees to be efficiently synchronized with a GUI, e.g. a Windows Presentation Foundation application

Extended, more powerful data APIs with the ADO.NET Entity Framework

Parallel/Multi-Processor Builds

Performance tune an enterprise application - … users can save a baseline profile and then, if the performance degrades, compare up-to-date traces to identify the source of the regression

Web Test Validation Rule Improvements

Better Web Test Data Binding - This feature allows users to data bind .CSV and XML files, as well as databases to a web test, using a simple databinding wizard.

Team Foundation Server - Continuous Integration – There are many components to this, including build queuing and queue management, drop management (so that users can set policies for when builds should be automatically deleted), and build triggers that allows configuration of exactly how when CI builds should be triggered, for example – every checkin, rolling build (completion of one build starts the next), etc.


And much, much more…
