Visual Studio 2005, still locking assemblies

posted Friday, February 17, 2006 5:29 PM by brian

VS 2003 Style Web Projects Coming to 2005

posted Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:05 AM by brian
Scott announced that the team is working on an additional project type for VS 2005 that brings back the VS 2003 web project development and compilation style. . I have done my share of complaining, but I take it all back now. Not only will the new project type support the VS 2003 model, you can also use 2005 features like precompilation and running a site from an assembly only. Awesome... Just freakin' awesome. Read More
