Toolkit support for .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 Beta2
The next wave of Visual Studio products coming out from the Developer Division in Microsoft promises a richer development experience than its predecessors. Features that deserve special mention since they are particularly relevant to the Toolkit are Javascript intellisense and ASP.NET AJAX Extender designer support. The Beta 2 version went out of the door today and we backed it up with a nifty "Orcas" Toolkit that works very well with the new designer support. You can download it from the Toolkit releases page. Since Beta 2 comes with a Go-Live license there are no roadblocks preventing you from getting a cool Toolkit site up and running in Beta 2 right away and have it upgraded later on when Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 officially release. We hope to improve the designer experience for Toolkit extenders even more in the future hooking into the rich support provided by Visual Studio 2008. We look forward to hearing about your experience with the Toolkit refresh release for Beta 2 so do keep us posted.
