VS.NET Whidbey First Impressions

First install of VS Whidbey, and what do I discover? Web projects are not considered normal “projects” anymore.  Under File->New, the first two are Project and Web Site. The only web project in the first option is Web Control Library. Also, upon choosing Web Services, Visual Basic and J# are there (as well as C#), even though I chose not to install VB or J# during the install.

  • When creating a new project with a pre-existing name, VS prompts you to see if you want to overwrite the project. Finally! I don't have to delete the old files in explorer, and try again in VS!
  • When trying to run the web service, it complained there was no Web.config.  It offered to create one for me.  Kudos again! No unwanted extra files!
