| Been playing a lot more with VS2008 and I likey 
I have migrated a lot of my non-SF 2.0 projects to 3.5 successfully to start implementing new features and am wondering when you guys plan to support 2008, it currently is in "go-live" status which means MS does support it in production environments.
I would appreciate any info you can give me when I can start using 2008 with SF.
Thanks. |

| We haven't loaded the SF AddIns within VS2008, but it should be backward compatible, so it should be a matter of moving the .AddIns file to the desired location. As for the enhancements to SF for .NET 3.5 support (LINQ, etc.), we don't have an official time frame.

| | Ben-- Would it be too much to map out the process of installing SF manually under VS 2008. Is it as simple as copying the .addin folder over? Jerry |

| | We will be providing this as part of the install in the next update. It is not that difficult, however, there are a few type editors that behave funny in 2008. These seem to be small tweaks here and there, but all in all it is a simple migration process. First, to get the StrataFrame menu to appear in 2008, you will have to copy over the StrataFrame.AddIn and change the version within it: C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\StrataFrame.AddIn to C:\Documents and Settings\tltaylor\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\StrataFrame2008.AddIn Once this is done, open the 2008 AddIn that you just copied over and change the two version entries to 9.0. Close the file, close Visual Studio 2008, go back in and you will see the StrataFrame menu. However, all of the templates will not be installed. To get the templates installed, you must copy them over from the 2005 folders: Visual Studio 2005 Folders
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\CSharp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\StrataFrame
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\StrataFrame
Copy all of the templates that begin with SF to the 2008 folders of the same names in the Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 folders. Visual Studio 2008 Folders
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\CSharp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\StrataFrame
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\StrataFrame Once they are copied over to the 2008 folders, execute this command (be sure VS2008 is closed): C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup This should get you up and running. As with any migration forward, there are few type editors that are acting up in 2008. However, this will be resolved and a new build posted in the next couple of weeks which should resolve any of these issues.

| | Hey Trent! Hope all is well - been busy with other things and now it's time to get back to programming... If I've got VS2008 installed - and have not installed any previous version of VS on this computer (and no StrataFrame of course), am I out of luck until you get the install updated to VS2008? Thanks - HB |

| | I am actually testing the installation and finalizing our new build process this weekend....though thie build will not be released at large for another few weeks. What I might be able to do is allow you to have the new install early next week so that you can test it out and I will help you work through any problems that you may have. Obviously I can't do this with every customer so that is why we are working hard to get the build out the door. |

| | Trent, I'd be happy to test the new build. However, I wouldn't want to slow anything down - so - if it will help, send it on. Otherwise, I'll just be patient and wait. Thanks - HB |
