Visual Studio 2008 extension for SharePoint to be released in June 2008

Hi,

Today I have a very bad news for those who work on SharePoint 2007 and want to work with Visual studio 2008 and take advantage of the latest feature in JavaScript debugging etc. The visual Studio extension for SharePoint Visual studio 2008 is being planned to be released in June 2008. This is way far down the road then what I would have expected.

For current its best to forget about it and work on the Visual Studio 2005. For those of you who are thinking on working on SharePoint 2007 do not throw away your visual studio 2005 (after getting the multi targeting feature in VS 2008) for next 6 months or so.

 

Note you can use STSDEV tool for SharePoint development in Vs 2008 with dot net frame work 3.0 or 3.5
