eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has released a new version of its software development kit for Visual Studio 2005, the last release that will focus on Visual Studio 2005, also known as Whidbey.
The next version of the SDK will target Microsoft's next version of Visual Studio, according to Joe Marini, director of the Microsoft VSIP program. Microsoft released the new version of the SDK on March 1.
Version 4 of the SDK "takes the Visual Studio SDK and makes it easier for people to start building integrations into Visual Studio," Marini said. And it "provides a more broad set of capabilities focused on commercial ISVs."
With Version 4, the SDK is "more approachable to new users, such as academics or community developers," said Rob Brigham, program manager for the Visual Studio SDK.
