Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 is available for download. You can download specific edition of VS or get the full Team Suite. There are separate downloads for Team Foundation Server and Load Test Agent. You can also find VPC images with VS 2008. The release includes .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 and Silverlight 1.0 RC. What makes it even more appealing to us is the Go Live license. It means that you get full support from MS Support on this beta software and you can start integrating it into your production systems. Remember that team editions are renamed and instead for Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Developers you should say Visual Studio Team System 2008 – Development Edition. Find more info at Somasegar's blog. Labels: Visual Studio Orcas

Service Release 1 (SR1) update for Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals is available for download today. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936612/The following issues are corrected in SR1. These issues have been found through customer and partner feedback.• Cross-database references
Support is improved so that you can reference objects within different databases by using database project references or by referencing a database metafile (.dbmeta). This support reduces or eliminates the cross-database reference warnings within a database project.
• Improved file support within SQL Server file groups
You can define files within file groups as database project properties instead of having to create files and file groups within the pre-deployment storage script.
• Variables
A Variables page is added to the database properties. This new page enables you to define setvar variables for use in the deployment scripts.
Additionally, SR1 supports the latest service pack release from Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Currently, the latest service pack is Service Pack 2 (SP2). SR1 also supports the Windows Vista operating system.Labels: Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals

Scot Hanselman is joining Microsoft as Program Manager at the Developer Division. He will be mostly responsible for getting in touch with developer community and talking about .NET 3.5 and later, as well as WPF, Silverlight, CLR, DLR, IIS and more. It is good that Microsoft managed to get him on board, still it is bad that the community lost another one independent MS supporter :) Labels: Rants

Recent changes in my life affected my blog posts rate but I will try to keep up in the next weeks. The news is that I am no longer associated with the National Academy for Software Development. I really tried to make everything I could to make it work, but I only find complete misunderstanding from my partners. From this time and after I am not behind and do not support any activities of the Academy. Looking in the future I can only say that many exciting things are just on their way. I will keep you informed. Labels: Rants
