Today we’ll look at a few new goodies on the web development side of Visual Studio 2008.  You may have heard that we finally get split view so we can see the designer and the HTML at the same time.  Or maybe you want to know just how well that JavaScript intellisense works.  Have you seen the new CSS integration?  This is really cool.  And frankly, it does something Dreamweaver should have been doing years ago.  So, let’s get started.

One of the features the CSharp guys have had for quite a while is Intellisense everywhere.  Want to create a private variable?  Just start typing private and hit the tab key as soon as the word is highlighted.  This, combined with code snippets have made coding in CSharp a bit faster than coding in VB.

What about the VB guys?

Sorry.  All the VB guys got was the ability to see methods an properties hanging off of their objects.  They have had to type out  the whole word for things like public, private, dim and class. 

Until now.  Watch the following video to see the new Intellisense for VB 2008 in action.

It’s such a little thing.  But, how much of our CSharp code looks something like this:

    private string _propertyName;     

    public string PropertyName
    {
        get { return _propertyName; }
        set { _propertyName = value; }
    }

One of the big new features that have been advertised with Visual Studio 2008 is this thing called Multi-Targeting.  This lets you write code for .NET 2.0 (or 3.0) even though 2008 is written to work with .NET 3.5.  So, the theory is, you can still work on existing projects targeted for .NET 2.0.  Does this work?  Watch the video to find out.
