VS2008

[GaryDean]

Is there any possible downside of completely replacing VS2005 with VS2008
willy-nilly? Shouldn't it work with all of my 2.0 projects and websites?

(I have MSDN vs2008 DVD (disk 4400))

Thanks,
Gary

RE: VS2008

the only downside is the 2.0 projects will be converted to vs2008 format, and
will be unusable from vs2005. if the whole team (or your solo) has vs2008,
no problem.

also if you use addin's there may not be a vs2008 version yet.

Install it side-by-side and see if you are happy. There is a known problem
with the VS2008 HTML designer. Some developers consider it as a showstopper
and reverse to 2005. See http://forums.asp.net/t/1194031.aspx for details.

Heh, that's nothing. Vista routinely hangs for up to a minute for me, so I
wouldn't even notice something like this. :-)
