Visual Studio 2008 Software Development Kit (SDK)

Visual studio's role is to improve the process of development and make the work of achieving breakthroughs easier and more satisfying. With visual studio "software development tool", parties will find it easier than ever before to capture and examine information to help them make effective business decisions. It also provides developers with all the tools and framework support required to create convincing, easy-to-read, Ajax-enabled web applications. The "software development companies in South Africa" are not behind in accepting this technology.

The new release visual studio 2008 (SDK) software development tool is required for development and testing tools and programming languages that target the visual studio 2008 shell. Basically, in order to install SDK, you must have visual studio 2008 standard edition and remember that express editions are not at all supported. SDK not only opens the door for those who extend VS, but also to all the VS developers worldwide who will be able to extend their existing development experience.

Some of the important features in the VS 2008 SDK include;

* Visual studio shell development support: You can now add packages to your visual studio shell isolated solution and register them with your shell project by using the dialog box.

* Visual basic is now supported for visual studio package development. Almost all C# samples are now also available in visual basic.

* Run as normal user (RANU) support has been added for package development and DSL tools. AS before you're no longer required to log on as administrator.

* Importantly support for windows vista: No need for the users to have administrative certificate to open and build most samples in the SDK.

* Addition of code samples and documentation covering toolbox controls, general IDE combination, team foundation server extensibility and many other areas.

* Help studio lite is no longer included with the VS 2008 SDK.


For development and testing of your visual studio shell (isolated mode) based application, please download the visual studio 2008 SDK. Also, the visual studio shell (integrated mode) does not contain any programming language; hence it provides the perfect foundation to organize a development environment for your own language. Any tools and programming that run inside will run together with SDK if they are also installed on the same machine.
