If you’re ever running a web app locally in Cassini (Visual Studios built in web server) and FireFox is really really really slow, but IE is fast like it should be, then you probably need to turn off IPV6 in FireFox.
To do this, type “about:config” in the address bar and filter on “v6″. Turn off IPV6 and FireFox should be fast again.
Microsoft’s launch of these products is entitled "Heroes happen {here}". There is a community, trial software, and a launch event in most major cities. They are giving away copies of each product, so you can take them home to play with after learning about them.
I converted a 2005 solution over to 2008 and hit build. I received this error:
MSBUILD : error : Invalid settings passed to CodeAnalysis task
I figured out that the problem was Visual Studio was calling FxCop from the "Visual Studio 8" directory instead of "Visual Studio 9.0". To fix this I had to change an environment variable called "FXCOPDIR" to point to the 2008 instance of Visual Studio.
I’m not sure why the install of 2008 didn’t do this. Oh well.
Visual Studio 2008 has a lot of great new features to make programmers lives easier. There are several new code editing improvements made. Scott Guthrie touches on a few of these; Transparent Intellisense, VB Intellisense Filtering, VB LINQ Intellisense, Organize C# Using Statements. He also has talked about Javascript Intellisense and CSS Style Intellisense.
All the new features are making the 2008 release quite exciting. I think this is more anticipated than the 2005 release for me.
