In the last post I hinted that the Visual Studio 2008 SP1 RTM would be available today.
It is required by the SQL Server 2008 when you want to install it on computers with Visual Studio 2008. Be sure to install the VS2008 SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008 on the same machine.
Of course, besides SQL Server 2008 support, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 includes lot’s of other exciting features like ADO.NET Data Services, ASP.NET Dynamic Data, Entity Framework (loved by many, hated by even more;) ) and much more.
You can read about the new SP1 features from here. Oh, and the SP1 for the TFS 2008 is also available
