Released! Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5

  • 项目

Some days it felt like we’d never reach the end, but we got there and the RTM release of the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 is live on the Microsoft Download Center. The Windows SDK contains documentation, samples, headers, libraries, and tools designed to help you develop Windows applications. Personally, I think it’s the best SDK we’ve ever released. Keep checking back here or on the Windows SDK blog and the NEW Windows SDK MSDN Developer Center for more information, tips and tricks, and troubleshooting for the Windows SDK.   If you have questions about developing with the Windows SDKs, the MSDN Windows SDK Forum is a great place to ask. ****

Late Breaking News:

Late-arriving issues and lots of helpful information is posted in the online Release Notes, so check there before you install, especially if you plan to do a custom install to a non-default location.

· Get the ISO Download of the SDK

· Get the Web Install of the SDK

Compatibility:

This SDK release supports Windows Server 2008, .NET Framework 3.5, and Windows Vista SP1, and is compatible with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 SP1; including Visual Studio Express Editions.

What’s New:

The following is a small sampling of what’s in this SDK, with a more complete list available in the Getting Started section in the Windows SDK documentation. I'll be writing more about new features over the coming weeks.

 

· Supports development for .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista (including SP1), and Windows XP

· Supports building on and targeting all architecture platforms: x86, x64, and Itanium (check out the new Visual Studio 2008 C++ compilers, for IA64 that you can't get anywhere else)

· Visual Studio 2008 C++ command line compiler toolset (with /analyze support) and matching CRT

· The SDK headers, libs, and tools integrate with VS2008 when both the SDK and VS2008 are installed. (Check out the new SDK Configuraton tool that lets you switch between multiple versions of the Windows SDK and multiple versions of Visual Studio. It's cool.)

· New tools such as XPerf, SqlMetal, xsltc, gc, topoedit, aspnet_merge, and wsdcodegen

· Documentation and samples (2200+ sample projects) to explain usage of new Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 features, as well as previous platform features
