Office 2007 Microsoft issues first SP1 betas for V

Microsoft is making out there to testers a first beta release of Company Pack (SP) one for Visual Studio 2008 and also the accompanying .Net Framework 3.five.
On May perhaps 12, Microsoft produced out there to any/all interested events the very first beta bits for both VS 2008 SP1 and .Net Framework three.five SP1. These might be downloaded from Microsoft;s Microsoft Developer Network web site. Microsoft is warning testers that you will discover some compatibility issues involving the VS 2008/.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 betas and Expression Blend, the Silverlight two Beta one software program development kit (SDK) and Silverlight Instruments Beta 1 for VS 2008.
New to VS 2008 SP1, according to Microsoft,Office 2007 Keygen, are “new features for targeting Windows, Office, along with the Internet. Developers building .NET-basedapplications will enjoy improved performance in the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) designer, new components for Visual Basic and Visual C++, too as an MFC-based Office 2007 Ribbon. Internet developers will see continued enhancement in the client-side script tooling including JavaScript IntelliSense.”
And new to the .Net Framework 3.five SP 1 are “more controls, a streamlined setup, improved start-up performance, and powerful new graphics features for client development and rich data scaffolding, improved AJAX support, and other improvements for Web improvement.”
The .Net Framework three.five SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 also both add support for the ADO.Net Entity Framework. The framework company pack also adds support for ADO.Net Data Services, and the VS 2008 1 adds support for the still-in-beta SQL Server 2008 release.
Microsoft has been building an entity data model framework around its ADO.Net technology that is designed to raise the level of abraction for database programmers. Originally, the ADO.Net Entity Framework was slated to be part of Visual Studio 2008.
ADO.Net Services, the technology codenamed “Astoria,” is a RESTful interface for data. Astoria is designed to enable applications to expose data as a data service that may be consumed by Web clients within a corporate network and across the Web. Microsoft released a first test build of Astoria in December 2007, with officials saying the final release should be ready around mid-2008.
Microsoft officials declined to provide a target date for delivery of the final SP1s for Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework three.5.
