If you are building .NET 2.0 applications, you really should take a look at all of the above.

Hi Pieter,

The last weeks have been filled with holidays and introductional days at my new employer ;). Because of that, I haven't had the time to realy dive into Visual Studio 2008. I played around with it, but since this week I've been writing some serious code in VS2008 for my personal site. I can only agree with what you said in your post: "If you are building .NET 2.0 applications, you really should take a look at all of the above.". I'm already loving it, and am looking forward to doing so for our customers!

Kind regards, Rick
