difference between C# 2005 and C# 2008?

On Fri, 22 May 2009 20:37:01 -0700 (PDT), S Claus <...@temporaryinbox.com

Hi all

I have MS Visual Studio 2005 and have been thinking about taking up
C#. The "Illustrated C# 2005" and "Illustrated C# 2008" books (by
Daniel Solis) seem to be quite good for this, but would there be many
differences in the code and explanations written for C# 2008 and my
version of C#?

Thanks,

Many? I guess that depends on your definition of "many". VS 2008
provides support for C# 3.0, which in turn introduces the ideas of lambda
expressions, LINQ, and extension methods. You may also see examples
related to new features in .NET 3.5, especially the framework side of LINQ
(e.g. the Enumerable class, the System.Xml.Linq namespace, etc.)

I don't know anything specific about those books, but one hopes that the
2008 version would call out the examples specific to VS 2008, so you
wouldn't waste time trying to get something to work that won't in VS
2005. Note that if you do want to check out the new stuff, you can
download the Express version of Visual Studio 2008 and do the examples
with that.

In addition to Peter's response, why not simply upgrade to Visual Studio
2008...?

Hi,

You are probably a MVP

For the OP as you think about upgrading, do then think too for an MSDN
subscription, it gives you more flexibility.
