Guy showed us how to create a simple plugin that creates a task pane which opens via a custom Excel Ribbon button, fills up from a database, and then fills the selected cell with some info. There is now no more the need to install add-ins to create VSTO addins, support for Office 20 is now included out of the box. That gave me the opportunity to test XLinq, by the way :) VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office) I'll discuss that in an other post, but I wrote a small tool that converts every csproj file it can find to a. At that point, this is a good feature but if you have a solution that contains 100+ projects, this can be a repetitive task to migrate each and every one of them.

The target framework can also be changed afterward, upgrade or downgrade. NET CF 1.0 and forces the conversion of projects to.

The only downside about the multi-targeting is that Microsoft dropped the support of. Some developers can run VS2005 and some others VS2008 without any difficulties. Solution and Project files don't change much, which means a smoother transition from VS2005 to VS2008. NET 3.5, and leaves a choice of targeting. VS2008 does not enforce the migration to. NET 3.5 are not interesting, far from it, but this will probably be the point of another session. On the menu, an overview of only the tooling that can be found in Visual Studio 2008. This was my first time there and I met a former distant colleague of mine from Winwise, Laurent Duveau.

The room was a bit crowded but there was a pretty good ambience. This last Monday, there's been a presentation for the GUVSM of Visual Studio 2008 at Microsoft Montréal by Guy Barrette, a Microsoft Regional Directory.
