vs2005 vs vs2008

[John]

Hi

What are the benefits of developing asp.net apps with vs2008/.net 3.5 over
vs2005/.net 2.0? Are any improvements been made in vs 2008 to the
authentication provider mechanism?

Many Thanks

Regards

Hi

First, the IDE is a bit more responsive. Second, you have a better surface,
if you have to design. There are also additional bits to simplify your
development, like LINQ, etc.

Are any improvements been made in vs 2008 to the authentication provider
mechanism?

None that I know of.

Silverlight 2.0 (in beta).

Check some samples, it rocks the suburbs.

There are benefits in VS 2008,
A lot of new features in .NET 3.5 over 2.0

But VS2008 is not ready yet.... I used VS2008 Express version and had bunch
of problems that make it hard to work with...
Like hanging for 10 minutes occasionally..

Got frustrated and reverted my project back to VS2005.

We went back to vs2005 because vs2008 was "going mad" and clobbering the
html in our aspx pages. The specific behavior was when using the wizard
interface. It actually moved fields around. If you throw a table onto the
design surface and then drag the columns and rows around in visual mode to
size them it puts your whole table on one line, capitalizes the tds, trs,
etc. Makes a mess of everyting. We will look again after a service pak.

....and here's a handy list of new features in VS 2008 SP1 :

http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/archive...udio-2008-and-net-framework-3-5-sp1-beta.aspx

Foremost on my list :

Visual Web Developer Express 2008 SP1 now supports
Web Application Projects (WAP) and Class Library Projects.

This enables both ASP.NET MVC as well as Silverlight 2 development from Express!

....and Classic ASP development is back!

Neat !
