What’s New in "Visual Studio 2005" (Brief)

Introduction Hi to all, after a long time since my last article, I am back again. Actually I was busy in my MCA (Master of Computer Application) exams. But now the “TechAhead Express” is back again on the track. So here I am going to give a brief introduction about the new features in VS2005 in brief. Actually these all points are displayed when you installing the VS2005. With setup there is a presentation going on, those are very good points. So I have decided to put those points for all of you. VS2005 released 2 years back, but I think these are some points which everyone wants to read. It’s like a brief introduction of VS2005. So let’s take a look,
