VS2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1

Yes, now it is released and you'll get it at: http://www.asp.net/downloads/3.5-sp1/

Interesting point regarding some old posts of mine e.g

Potential solution for "Validation of viewstate MAC failed"
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/joteke/archive/2007/08/14/Potential-solution-for-_2200_Validation-of-viewstate-MAC-failed_2200_.aspx

In SP1 is included a fix for ASP.NET 3.5, which lets you control if the hidden fields are rendered on top or at bottom of the form. There is a new setting in <pages> element of web.config, as follows:

<pages    renderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm="[true|false]"   / > // Defaults to true in 3.5 SP1

Note that this SP also adds SQL2008 support for VS2008, so be sure to install it.

SP1 adds background compilation to c#. Which is great, but it totally kills any asp.net project you have. If you open an asp.net project, VS gives you a bucket load of bogus errors. These are the direct result of the background compilation feature not working! When you click on each error message, the error disappears. So no big issue, right? WRONG, i have a big asp.net project and see frigging 300+ bogus errors. I need to build the project to clear the error list. But each time I open another asp.net page, the 300+ errors show up again. Thanks a lot for the Service Pack, I recommend NOT DOWNLOADING IT.

Twinky,

unfortunately I haven't released the Sp1 :-) but I surely can forward your message, if you share a bit more details. Use the contact form here, if you have more details to send about the issue. If you have serious troubles, you can also use connect.microsoft.com to be sure you've been heard of

Twinky, I have the same problem, except in my case, is it more than 600 errors that are shown at startup. This SP1 is evil!
