"CSS Properties Window" Download Available for VS 2005

One of the process things we've been doing on our team lately has been to provide an opportunity for team members to spend time building and shipping personal projects that enhance the core shipping products.  On the updated www.asp.net site that we launched last month, we created a "Sandbox" tab that provides an outlet for team members to make these projects available to the public.  Over time you'll start to see more and more projects appear there that you can take advantage of with web development.

Today we posted the first download of a new CSS Properties Window on the Sandbox tab that you can install on top of VS 2005 to get richer CSS editing and management support.  Much richer CSS designer support is a big investment we are making for the next release of Visual Studio.  The CSS Properties Window download provides some early support that you can use today, as well as an opportunity to give feedback on the exact feature-set you'd like to see with CSS going forward.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Is it posible to use it with Express Editions?

Well,
that's very good.
MS should enable it for Web Dev Express as well.

Kind regards

Hi Monroe/Lucian,

Unfortunately the CSS Properties Window is only available with VS Standard and higher. It uses some VSIP extensibility APIs that aren't enabled on express.

Sorry about that,

Scott

if the project will continue and bring some more goodies(online help or xml snippets or templates) that is the definitive way of buying VS2005 standard.

any info when ORCAS is schedule to release? End of 2006 or 2007 so I don't buy VS now and wait for Orcas :-)

Hi aspnetcoder,

Orcas will probably not come out until 2007 -- so I'd definitely recommend getting started with VS 2005 today instead of waiting.

Hope this helps,

Scott
