Windows Vista marked the release of the .NET Framework 3.0. This release included many great new features for the Windows developer. Among them was the initial release of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF). However, Visual Studio remained unchanged. You could use these new features but they were not “built in” to the IDE. Instead, you had to use extensions to build applications on these .NET Framework elements and Visual Studio 2005.
Visual Studio 2008 represents a re-synch of the development tools and the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework evolves from 3.0 (released with Vista) to 3.5, an incremental release that ships with Visual Studio 2008. The IDE now natively supports WPF, WCF, and WWF out of the box. In addition, there are many other new bells and whistles including direct Office application support, CardSpace, LINQ, a large revision to ASP.NET, the CLR add-in framework, and more. In addition to Visual Studio, SQL Server will get an update in 2008.
If you’ve been doing this very long, you’ve come to expect a new release like Visual Studio 2008 to come with new programming models, unfamiliar terms, fresh dialog boxes, and new ways to view code; it can be hard to find your footing on what seems to be unfamiliar ground.
