Hidden Gems - Not the same old 3.5 SP1 post

Folks were hassling me in the comments for not posting the picosecond that .NET 3.5 SP1 came out (or, as I like to call it, .NET 3.6 - although levitra the bosses really don’t like that).

First, the obvious stuff.

Should I fear this release?

I wouldn’t. The SP1 Framework is full of goodness. The VS Installer is slow (it was for me) but I just shut everything down, ran it, and was patient. It’s POSSIBLE. It’s way better than the beta installer was. There’s a metric buttload of little VS fixes and tweaks that make the IDE a more pleasant place to spend your day. ScottGu lists a bunch of new stuff, like JavaScript intellisense, formatting, editor performance improvements, and on and on.

If you want to see some crazy interesting statistics, go check out Patrick Smacchia’s updated 3.5 SP1 Changes Overview.

You can get it here:

If you’ve ever installed anything wacky or beta, be sure to run the important Preparation Tool and also R’ingT*M.

Now, why should I bother?

What’s it got for ASP.NET?

There are lots of details here http://www.asp.net/downloads/3.5-sp1 including stuff on things we used to call ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions (in case you were wondering where all that went.)

You can find further information on ASP.NET Dynamic Data here as well as instructions on how to convert applications written using the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions December 2007 CTP in the readme. Piles of Dynamic Data videos here.
