This is an short quote from ScottGu's blog
VS 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express can be installed side-by-side with VS 2005. .NET 3.5 Beta2 also includes a go-live license which allows you to build and deploy applications into production.
Very Important: Please read my "Installation Notes" at the bottom of this blog post for a few post-installation steps you must make to ensure everything runs well. One of these steps fixes a side-by-side issue we found with ASP.NET AJAX.
Quick Tour of Some of the New Features for Web Development
Over the last few months I've written several blog posts that discuss...

If you were as shocked and disappointed as I was when you found, after installing Office 2007 and installing the Desktop Search 3.0 to enable "Outlook Instant Search," that the default Search behavior in Explorer had changed without asking you, you'll want to change this registry key.
In RegEdit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS and set "ShowStartSearchBand" to 0, and you'll get the default search behavior back.
And while you're at it and poking around in the registry, you might as well go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex and set FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions to DWORD with the value of "1" in order to enable full-text searching of files (like...
SQL Server Express Edition
When we started looking at what to do for “MSDE” in SQL Server 2005 we changed our approach and some of our fundamental assumptions. First of all we created a dedicated team derived mostly from the SQL Server Mobile team in Redmond (up until now MSDE had been a virtual/part time team). This team did an in-depth analysis of the overall space and also the desires of our partners in this space, mostly ISVs and Visual Studio.
One of the first decisions out of this group was that the Governor had to go. It was simply...

This is just a re-statement of a forum thread that discusses the fix, but since gotdotnet is not going to be around very much longer I thought I'd post this little tidbit here as well. Basically, when I upgraded one of my sites to .net 2.0, skmMenu got upgraded right along with it. The only issue was that all of my menus would show up at the far left corner of the screen, and when you try to navigate to them over there they disappear thanks to the menu items between the cursor and the target. I think I only saw...
Sometimes, you may need to change the owner of an object. This article contains a code sample that you can use to change ownership of objects.
If you have numerous objects that require an ownership change, you can use the following SQL Server stored procedure to ease the process:
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[chObjOwner]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)
drop procedure [dbo].[chObjOwner]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
CREATE proc chObjOwner( @usrName varchar(20), @newUsrName varchar(50))
as
-- @usrName is the current user
-- @newUsrName is the new user
set nocount on
declare @uid int ...
