Visual Studio SP1 is Released!

I'm happy to announce that VS SP1 (including Visual Studio Team System) has released.  It's been a long time in the making and I know it's been frustrating waiting but it is finally available and there is a ton of good stuff in it.  I've blogged about some of the great TFS improvements here and here.  My understanding is that we'll be producing a similar list of all improvements for the entire SP1 at some point in the not too distant future.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you find it to be a real improvement in your development experience.

Brian

it would be a good idea to clear up the fact that the Team Suite is the one you download for versions standard and pro as well, because it took me forever to find that out!

The line on the download page says:

Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 (includes SP1 updates for Standard, Professional, and Team Editions of Visual Studio 2005)

I'll ask what they think about making it clearer.

The line:

Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 (includes SP1 updates for Standard, Professional, and Team Editions of Visual Studio 2005)

is clear.  The confusion comes from the fact that you can get to the download pages without going through this page.  What does it say on the download page:

Team Suite

This download installs Service Pack 1 for Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite.

No mention of being compatible with Pro anywhere.

After installing SP1, Properties window stopped working in the Source view of an ASP.NET page. The Properties window used to display properties for selected item (though slowly), now it is just blank window with empty list of elements. I am thinking about uninstalling SP1

BTW, some of the links, the GDR, etc availability have been horked for the last few days due to the storm that hit Seattle on Thursday night.  Power was out to about 1 million people in the area and to the entire MS campus.  I'm told the power went out just as they were preparing to upload the Visual Studio Vista patch beta.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I expect things will regains some semblance of normality early this coming week.

I've been forwarding on the feedback about the working confusion for the VS SP1 description.  We'll see if we can get it cleared up.

o3APA3A - Here's the feedback I got from Scott Guthrie about the property window for the source view of an ASP.NET page.

"We made some optimizations in SP1 for HTML source editing performance, and one of them was to turn off the property grid in source view by default (since it wasn’t super useful and our sense was that a lot of people don’t use it at all there).  You can re-enable it within tools/options.  It’s under Tools/Options/Editor/HTML/Miscellaneous and I believe it is called “Enable property grid in source view” or something along those lines.

I’ll try and put together a blog post to talk about it (and other source editor improvements) later this weekend.  BTW -- here is another blog post I did about SP1 on Vista this weekend that might help some people on Vista: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/16/installing-vs-2005-sp1-on-vista-and-how-to-uninstall-the-vs-2005-sp1-beta-on-vista.aspx"

There is a Team Foundation Server SP1 that is like 40+MB is that only for server or should that be installed on clients also?

Which SP has updates for the VS2005 Source control plugin for VS2005?

Thanks

Monday, December 18, 2006 11:30 AM by bharry

That's just the server.  The client updates are in the really big Visual Studio Team Suite patch.

How can I uninstall Visual Studio Web Application Projects?

I couldn't find the information at all.

Thanks.

Kenny.

# VS SP1 Shipped!

Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:22 AM by Visual Studio Team Edition for DB Pros: The What, The Why, The How

VS SP1 shipped, which includes some big updates for Visual Studio Team System. See Brian Harry's post

# re: Visual Studio SP1 is Released!

Tuesday, December 19, 2006 3:30 PM by bharry

Kenny, if you are referring to the version that shipped before SP1, then there should be an Add/Remove Programs item with the name “Web Application Projects” that you need to uninstall prior to installing SP1.

With power slowly being restored in the Seattle area, the "Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista Beta" is now available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fb6bb56a-10b7-4c05-b81c-5863284503cf&DisplayLang=en

This is only needed by people who want to preview a Beta of the fixes we have made to make VS2005 work even better on Windows Vista.
