Update Your VB...

It seems like just yesterday when it was brand new and ... perfect? We all know that software is never perfect. Enough bugs must have been accumulated to justify the Service Pack 1 (SP1) update for Visual Studio 2005 because Microsoft has now made one available. The update applies to both the retail versions of Visual Studio 2005 and the free Express versions. There's a separate update for Visual Web Developer Express if you have that installed as well.

It's worthwhile to browse the release notes available at Microsoft.

If, for some reason, you're still running Visual Studio 2003, a Service Pack 1 is available for that too!

Links to all of the Service Packs (much more convenient).
