Visual Studio 2008 - Tuesday July 31, 2007

Today was another somewhat good day with Visual Studio 2008.  I was able to get my project and class library to run together.  Seems to be working fine.  Somewhere in the conversion process the associations between the two projects got mucked up, but these things can happen.  It could have been user error.  I found one annoying thing.  Back in VS.NET 2k5 beta, I went haywire when I figured out that double clicking on a Sql Server database table resulted in the table definition opening.  The VS.NET 2003 behavior where the table data was displayed was correct, why did they change it?  It was a really dumb thing to do.  I remember complaining heavily about this in an SDR in May, 2005.  Well, the behavior is still the same in Visual Studio 2008.  Change it back.  This is wrong.  Visual Studio is a tool for developers, not DBAs.  Therefore we need access to out data, not the table def.  Arrrggggg.

One interesting thing I have found is that hitting the "Goto Definition" on a method is taking me to a manifest file.  I think this should take me to the actual method definition, not the manifest which lists the methods within the class.
