Migration to Visual Studio 2008

[IStandAloneToo]

Visual Studio 2008 (NOTE THIS IS NOT VS 8/2005 THIS IS VS 9/2008) as been out for almost a year now and appears to be very stable. This past year has given everyone an opportunity to become acquainted and prepared for the transition to 2008. Dawn of Light will be migrating to Visual Studio 2008 Saturday July 26, 2008. This gives you approximately a week to do any upgrades or code freezes that you see fit. I will lock SF (assuming we're back online then), perform the upgrade, and commit the change. This shall not take long at all.

Note that VS 2005 may still be used to build the project (a VS2005 solution will remain in the root folder) however, Dawn of Light will no longer support VS 2005 solutions.

Please use http://www.microsoft.com/Express/ as your resource to download/upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.

Bah. VS2008 upgrade report show 0 errors, should be easy.
More, Storm runned in debug mode in VS2008 for 3 days.

The important key is the target framework. I can understand we stay on 2.0, and i find this good.

Right, I have talked to a LOT about this point, saying we should go to 3.5. However, 3.5 does not add anything substantial like 2.0 did. Nothing that we would ever need.

yes, i think it is good for vs2005/mono compatibility. And accessoiry, i've compiled it on 3.5, i find it slower when starting. I fear it could be the same when running, even if actually the perf issue is dol to db accesses.
