The C# Teams Needs Input on VS 2005 SP1 Beta!

The C# Team needs your help! The Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Beta needs more testers doing more testing. We need you to download the beta and start pounding on this release.

This is an important release for the team, and for everyone who is using Visual Studio. The team needs lots of people testing the product, and lots of people submitting bug reports.

Testers are needed both for XP and for Vista. If you are running Vista, be sure to perform the install as an Administrator.

The team wants you to pound on all the features of this product. If you have big projects or small projects, open them up in the beta and test them out.

One area that needs focus is the code in the Web Application Project (WAP) that was offered as a download last March and was updated in May. It was designed to bridge the gap between Web development in VS 2003 and the improved code found in VS 2005. WAP will be included with SP1, so there is no need to install it separately if you try the beta. Scott Guthrie has a post on a fix for an issue that comes up with existing WAP installations if you install the service pack over them.

Thanks for downloading this beta! Your efforts will help to make Visual Studio more useful to developers everywhere.
