Questions tagged [visual-studio-2008]

This tag refers to the Visual Studio line of software development products from Microsoft, the 2008 version. Do not use this tag unless you have a specific question about Visual Studio -- not just a coding issue. Questions should be specific to the 2008 version of Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop console and graphical user interface applications along with Windows Forms applications, web sites, web applications, and web services in both native code together with managed code for all platforms supported by Microsoft Windows, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, .NET Framework, .NET Compact Framework and Microsoft Silverlight.

Visual Studio does not support any programming language, solution or tool intrinsically, instead allows the plugging of functionality coded as a VSPackage.
