vs2008 or notHi
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? 2. Is 2008 stable enough, at least as good as vs2005? 3. For infragistics users, is Infragistics NA for Winform 7.3 compatible with 2008? Many Thanks Regards Hello John ,
I am currently "still" using 2005 for my production apps this is because i create inhouse production applications and our infrastructure needs to be updated first In my opinion VS.Net 2008 is one giant bugfix to VS.Net 2005 so the answers in my opinion to your questions are > 1.

SP1 for .NET will have to be deployed on your target machines. That probably is a good thing.

Do you know of a fixlist for SP1? I cannot seem to find one on KB.

I am wondering which security fixes are
included in it? We have an issue with MS07-040 so I wanted to know if this might fix the problem?

VS 2008 allows you to target .NET 2.0 (SP1), 3.0 or 3.5, so you can continue work on existing VS 2005 projects with ease. Of course, newer technologies (like WPF, WCF, LINQ and Windows WF) will require some learning. > I've been working with Beta 1, Beta 2, RC and now RTM since last August. I'd > 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.

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. -- Show quoteGregory A.
