VS2008 - what do i need to install to develop?
-
So I've had the original release version of vs2008 installed for a while, but havent actually got a chance to use it. Now I've got a pet project that I want to develop using the new C# features (LINQ, et al). And now I'm remembering that there's a service pack for the vs2008, as well as a service pack for .net 3.5. Is there anything else? Could somebody who knows supply a list of updates (service packs and all) that I need to install? Thanks in advance ^^
"impossible" is just an opinion.

Firstly, you don't need the service packs to develop. vs2008 works fine, and .net 3.5 works fine. This site gives an overview of what is added in both service packs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/products/cc533447.aspx[^] If you decide you want the service packs, the VS2008 SP1 full download[^] includes .net 3.5 sp1 as well as everything else.

Well thats great news I guess :) Thanks for the links, will check them out. [random_note] I tend to look for these kinds of things as soon as they are released, to know about them. But I missed it this time, and after a while, the intertubes become full with varying opinions, which makes it hard to realize the benefits/otherwise of installing something. So thanks ))) [/random_note]
