Visual Studio Extension for Windows SharePoint Services (VSeWWS) 1.1

Microsoft just keeps on raining goodies at Office Developer Conference 2008 that I am holding back notifications to my partners/ developers until it’s over. No wonder they got extra activities on weekends for sleepless attendees!

The new VSeWWS 1.1 just got release and there is a host of new features besides bug fixes. You still got to run it on Visual Studio 2005 but already confirmed that VSeWSS 1.2 will support Visual Studio 2008 and aimed to be released June 2008!!

1. My favorite feature – Visual Basic support !!

2. WSP view for WSP Editing – Not possible previously where you can modify features.xml before deploying to SharePoint server

3. New item templates

4. F5 no longer do IISReset but only app pool refresh, so faster debugging :)

You can download the installer and the user guide here. More details at SharePoint team blog.
