Shipped: Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5

  • Artikel

A new prerelease version of the Windows SDK has shipped. This SDK coincides with the release of Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 Beta2 and Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.5 Beta2. If you want to be on the cutting edge of .NET Framework 3.5 development, the Windows SDK for Windows Server® 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 is the one you want .

What’s new in this SDK:

· The latest set of documentation and samples for .NET Framework 3.5 development.

· New and updated tools for .NET Framework 3.5 development

· New C++ compilers and associated CRT (matching the VS 2008 Beta 2 compilers)

· This SDK will install side-by-side with Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 Beta2.

This SDK is compatible with the RTM release of Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 SP1 and the Microsoft® Visual Studio® Express Editions, which are available to download, free of charge.

As always, we strongly recommend reading the Release Notes for a description of known issues with this SDK. A few items worth calling out are the following:

· To take advantage of .NET Framework 3.5 features, such as new samples or tools, you’ll need to install the Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.5 Beta2 (or be running Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 Beta2)

· If you want to use Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 with existing SDK C++ samples you can. If you want to take advantage of and try out the latest C++ command line compiler that ships in this SDK on those same samples, you’ll need to upgrade those sample projects as described in the Release Notes.

· This release of the SDK is an ISO-only download. This means that you will need to download the entire ISO and then either burn it to a DVD to use in your local DVD drive, mount it virtually as if it were another drive, or copy the contents locally, in order to run the SDK’s setup.exe. More details about how to work with the DVD ISO image can be found at the download page for the SDK

We encourage you to install this SDK on a test machine and let us know what you think.
