    What’s New in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1?

    Birmingham, United Kingdom

    “Service Pack? We’re calling it a Service Pack? Are you kidding??!?!” Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 will release later in 2008 alongside .NET Framework V3.5 Service Pack 1 and, together, they represent a significant upgrade to Visual Studio 2008. There are enhancements across many areas of the .NET Framework such as data access, windows application development and web development and there are also corresponding changes in the development environment to support the new framework features.
