We switched all of our major projects over to Visual Studio 2005 today at work. Overall the switch to VS 2005 seemed to go a little more smoothly than the switch from VS 2002 to VS 2003, so that was a nice surprise. All of our projects converted over without any problems and it only took about three hours to get everything to full compile again. So at this point all of our projects are now “error” free, and we’ll take the next few days to get rid of all of the new “warnings” that have appeared with VS 2005.
From the brief time I have spent with SQL Server 2005, I don’t think that transition will go as smoothly as the Visual Studio transition. We rely heavily on SQL Server scripts and the scripts generated by SQL 2005 are signiticantly different from scripts generated by SQL 7 or SQL 2000. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how that changeover pans out in the coming weeks.
