Visual Studio 2003 or 2008
-
My company has been using VS2003 for several years. We keep talking about upgrading to 2008, but because of time constraints have never done it. I have a project I need to get done in a week and suggested I go ahead and use VS 2008. Will there be any major learning curves that could impact the length of the project? What are the major difference between 2003 and 2008. By the way, we program in VB if that makes any difference. My supervisor has already said that creating the new application is 2008 is not a reason to miss this deadline, so I need to know if this is doable. Thanks in advance for any opinions. I appreciated any feedback that is given.

Although there have been some improvements to Visual Studio, I don't recall anything that would delay a new project. The major question however will be what version of the .NET Framework to target. If you still need to target a version lower than 3, then there really is no reason to use Visual Studio 2008. If you want to use version 3.5, then yes, there will be a learning curve.

Then I would suggest you stick with the tools you know. Every upgrade tends to require some time to get familiar with anything that has changed, and you do not seem to have too much free time available at this point. When you have a less tight deadline is the time to switch to VS2008, so if you do run into any problems, it will not impact your project too much.

Given the time constraints stick to VS 2003.
