Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 is on MSDN

Just thought you might like to know.

Where's the Visual Studio patch for .NETCF2 SP2?

Back in March the redistributable for the .NET Compact Framework v2 SP 2 was released. As usual the team blog listed the various er, variations and so on with links to be added as the appropriate releases became available.

These have all now been filled in - with the exception of the patch for Visual Studio 2005.

As a developer this is a big deal for me - I have been delaying installing the refresh of the Windows Mobile 6 SDK (which lists .NETCF2 SP2 as a prerequisite) precisely because I don't want to find myself with a version which I have to uninstall and replace in order to be able to test and deploy correctly from Visual Studio.

With SP1 a big deal was made about having to apply the VS2005 patch and how you would have to uninstall the redistributable if you'd installed it first, and the fact that a patch is listed at all on the blog page implies that the same is true (or intended to be true) for SP2.

 

So Compact Framework Team, where is it?
