The only problem is that you cannot build ObjectARX with that version..... :-(
per quote from kean walmsley in his site http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/
As for AutoCAD development: there should not be a problem writing .NET applications for AutoCAD with Visual Studio 2008 - especially as it allows you to build applications for prior versions of the .NET Framework - but you should not attempt to build ObjectARX applications. The supported C++ compiler for ObjectARX in AutoCAD 2007 & 2008 is Visual Studio 2005

Hi Kerry
Im just using the express editions as I haven't gotten far enough into it yet to warrent the Pro version. Someday soon, I hope to be using C# enough that I need to buy the Pro version

As far as I know nothing much has changed on the C++ front. From what I heard, MS is waiting for the new C++0x standard. I also heard that a new killer MFC is in the works. :kewl:

Hi David,
it's a 'use it or lose it' skill I'm afraid .. I'm back where I was 12 months ago .. but I'm comitted to push on now.
It's great to hear that you're picking it up again too.
Read lots and post often :-)

I bought Jerry Winters VB.Net book which Im going through now. Using the reflector you guys talked about, I "cheat" when I have to, and convert VB code to see what Im doing wrong. Basically I read a chapter and look at the VB code. Then I try and re-write it in C# and test it. If it fails badly, I open the CD and use reflector to convert it to C# so I can see where I went wrong.

Thanks Daniel.
But is not officially supported by the adesk guys.... as per Kean comment - Will see what they end up using for A2009 [to me they will keep using the arx's] or when they do the jump for a new Compiler as they did from VS2002 -> VS2005 and previously VS6

I think translating algorithms between different languages is a highly underrated and beneficial exercise; good on ya.
-
heh ! That's a great idea !
I'm trying to hit the keyboard a lot more too, rather than just reading.
Just in case you don't know .. On the Debug->Windows menu there is a command to open a Locals window ( or Ctrl+D,L ) .. very handy when stepping through code.

Yeah, we will just have to get Owen to include VS2008 in his VC Hook utility
