What is Visual Studio 2008?

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 enables developers to quickly create connected applications that deliver rich user experiences. Visual Studio 2008 delivers advances for developers in three primary areas:
  • Rapid Application Development
  • Break Through User Experiences
 

Visual Studio 2008 Features

 
  • LINQ - A key addition in VS2008 is support for Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which contributes to rapid application development.
  • New Web Design Interface - Visual Studio 2008 incorporates a new Web designer that uses the design engine from Expression Web. Moving between design and source view is faster and the new split view capability means you can edit the HTML source and simultaneously see the results on the page. Support for style sheets in separate files is added. In addition, a CSS properties pane which clarifies the often times complex hierarchy of cascading styles, so that it is easier to understand. Visual Studio 2008 has full WYSIWYG support for building and using ASP.NET Nested Master Pages which greatly improves the ability to build a Web site with a consistent look and feel.
  • JavaScript Debugging and Intellisense - In Visual Studio 2008 introduces client-side JavaScript Intellisense support. Not only does the Intellisense give standard JavaScript keyword support, but it automatically infers variable types and provides method, property and event support from any number of included script files. Similarly, the JavaScript debugging support now allows for the deep Watch and Locals support in JavaScript
  • Multi-targeting Support - In previous versions of Visual Studio, you could only build projects that targeted a single version of the .NET Framework. With Visual Studio 2008 supports "multi-targeting". Through a simple drop-down, you can decide if you want your project to target .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5. The builds, the Intellisense, the toolbox, etc. will all adjust to the feature set of the specific version of the .NET Framework which you choose. This allows you to take advantage of the new features in Visual Studio 2008, like the Web design interface, and the improved JavaScript support, and still build your projects for their current runtime versions.
