My latest in a series of the weekly, or more often, summary of interesting links I come across related to Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2008 KB: Also applies to VS 2005. Workaround for 'getaddrinfo' could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32

Hi Anthony,

>On Monday, June 30th 2008, the license for this CTP will expire

Does this means that I will no longer be able to install/use the VS extensions?

Thanks,

What a stupid decision !!

Indeed, we are working with BizTalk 2006 R2, now instead of generating using Visual Studio 2005 the WCF proxies by right clicking and adding a service, we need to use in a command line svcutil !, we need to do this every time the WCF code changes.

Upgrade to VS 2008 bla bla, we have BizTalk Projects running in production of more than 2000 Man/days, and migrating to BizTalk 2009 is not an easy task, because we need to conduct an extensive non regression testing.

I am disapointed with this decision of not providing VS 2005 with the correct WCF tools. I am sure that there are absolutely no persons working with VS 2005 and WCF, who addressed the BizTalk issue.

Stefan
