It's time to download VS2008 Beta 2. While I've done plenty of coding in .Net 2.0, for the past couple of years I've been heads-down on a project that is a little bit stuck in the past. We have millions of lines of code targeting version 1.1 of the framework, running 24x7 in our production datacenter - which means much of my day-to-day work has been in VS2003. After VS2008 releases we're going to make the big upgrade to v3.5 and VS2008.
Here's what I'm looking forward to trying out tonight:
-
Multi-targeting support - not having to start up a completely different toolset just because I'm maintaining an older app will save so much time.
-
-
LINQ - we have a great solution for generating stored-procedure wrappers, but I look forward to be able to concisely express data logic in my applications.
Let's give it a run!

At long last, Mischa and I got Community Server installed. Woo-hoo! After one failed SQL installation on XP, repeated failures to install CS on Vista, I broke down and upgraded my GoDaddy hosting account with CS 2007... and here we are.
