I would like to get some other feedback from anyone else using the latest Visual Studio 2008 with the new C# 3.0. I have been using it for the last two weeks and I am absolutely thrilled with some of the new features. So far the feature I love the most is the Auto-Implemented Properties. It saves so much time. No more waisted time writing Gets/Sets for simple properties. The other bonus is that you can still compile the code to run on the .Net Framework 2.0. This means you can upgrade your projects to 2008 but you don't necessarily have to upgrade to the latest .Net Framework.
I am interested in seeing what others have found.
Thanks, Bobby Cannon
Here is a list of the new features: dotnetwithme.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-new-in-csharp-30.html
I find it interesting that even when you target 2.0, you are still using the 3.5 compiler. What this means is that features that are just syntactic sugar that is converted by the compiler, such as the Auto-Implemented Properties and some level of LINQ, can still be added to an application that will run on a machine with only the 2.0 Framework.

I am now reading 'Microsoft Visual C# 2008' by John Sharp. It is an awesome study into C# for 2008. I have used Visual Basic since before it was visual, but thought it is time to get on the C# bandwagon!
I never "dis" on the VBers but C# is definitely the way to go. I started out in VB6 but it simple wasn't powerful enough. VB.Net is another story because it is way faster than VB6 but it just "feels" wrong to me. I really hate the syntax now that I have been programming C# for years. I think C# is a beautiful language.
