Are we able to develop Silverlight 1.1 apps with VS 2008 Express? Or do we need a paid edition?

just tested, VS2008 makes a lot of things a lot of easier compare to VS 2005, it's faster as well.

When we ship the Silverlight tools for VS, they will be an addon to the free VS Express as well as the VS Pro, and above..

I have .NET 3.0 installed (so 2.0 as well) and all the patches/security updates for both. Now, I want to install .NET 3.5. To reduce the MSI/%windir%\installer footprint/size taken on the HDD, should I uninstall .NET 3.0/2.0 and then install 3.5? Also, I noticed SP1s for 2.0 and 3.0. Does 3.5 include all the latest updated SP1 files for 2.0/3.0? Also, while uninstalling, should I uninstall .NET 2.0 and 3.0 separately or just uninstalling 3.0 will also remove 2.0? Also, .NET 3.0 was around 50 MB. In .NET 3.5 (dotnetfx35.exe), I noticed all the 64-bit versions are also included in the redistributable. Why doesn't MS keep 32-bit and 64-bit redistributables separate? Downloading 200 MB is a bit painful, and the bootstrapper/internet setup is not convenient/resumable for slow dial-up connections.

I like the product and appreciate Microsoft shipping a powerful and free version.

Still, I am disapointed by the DataPager. It is, according to the introductory video, intended to support paging in the ListView Control--which in the beta version at least, already has paging! (True, the DataPager is a bit more flexible.)

Due to its speed, the Repeater is still a useful and important control, especially for those blog-like applications produced so readily using PHP, Ruby, and other ASP.Net rivals. And yet, the Repeater (and Datalist, which has been somewhat superseded by the ListView) still do not have built-in paging--which is required if they are to prove useful in working with large volumes of data. The DataPager is really not that useful--but it could have been.

Still, I'm grateful for the wonderful free product.

Will it cause any problems installing visual web dev exp 2007 and .NET 3.5 on my vista workstation with visual studio 2005? Will they work side by side ok?

Kyle — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:18:50 GMT

Carl,

I have Visual Studio 2005 and Web Developer 2008 running side-by-side on Windows XP and everything seems to be okay. It may be different for you on Vista, though.

In the Express version, have you opted to include unit testing support? Or is that only for real developers?

re: VS 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 RTM

Mark Sowul — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:49:22 GMT

Sadly, even "Professional" developers don't get unit testing; only the expensive Team Suite gets Unit Tests, Performance Analysis, and Reliability Analysis (FxCop).

Apparently only those willing to spend $5000 need to develop fast and reliable software.

I just upgraded to VS2008. I was very excited about the Javascript debugging, however, I find that it is absolutely no different than what I could do in VS2005?? I still have to turn on Script debugging in my browser (a major pain since almost every site out there has javascript errors and I get the annoying popup when I browse to them about debugging).

I could alway set breakpoints in VS2005 and look at variable values, change values, etc. I never needed the likes of Firebug, Web Development Helper, Fiddler, etc., as this blog states.

I don't see where VS2008 has added anything to my Javascript debugging experience.

Is it just me or is the IDE a bit slow? For me it seems slower than beta 2, especially when switching between opened files

Hi Brad.

It seems that JavaScript intellisense does not work for us.

When we have a prototype based class and we write the word "this." it gives us just the 6 generic methods of the object instead of listing all of the class methods. This ofcourse also makes the ///<reference> tag not to work.

It happen also with the Client Behaviour template in VS so it's not because of problems in our JavaScript files.

We installed VS08 RTM on a Vista Machine that had VS2005 installed on it, but no previews/beta versions of VS2008.

When we open any JS file, it seems that for two seconds we get full colors for the file (the ///<reference> tag for example is colored in red and blue), but than everything goes to the normal black and green experience we had in VS2005.

I also checked the registry hack that was posted for Beta2 and everything is seemd to be registered OK.

Any way how to solve this?

@Noticiax externas - If you still need it, there's an offline version here:

It's rather large (197mb), as it includes all versions (x86, x64, etc.).

I upgraded a project ( VB and C# ) from VS2005 to VS2008 release version. The code is so slow now it is unusable. Program startup that used to takes 5 seconds now takes over 5 minutes. Simple 'next row' operation now takes 3 minutes as opposed to < .5 seconds.
