Changes have been announced to both the naming of "special" directories (i.e. resources, data, bin ... ) and the compilation model of Asp.net in beta 2 of vs 2005. [0]

Personally I would have preferred a single root for the 'special'-directories, which has been considered, but rejected.

The single root approach was rejected because it did not enable us to support directories located in arbitrary locations in the application tree, such as the local resources directory. 

The default compilation model is changed to keep the markup outside of the compiled binaries. I'm not sure what to think if it, but certainly during development it's a lot easier to work with.

Instead of writing my own reports on DevCon 5, I'm just going to point you to Rory's blog, since he's doing an excellent job in not only reporting on the talks, but on the facilities as well

Yet Another Community Technology Preview

Yesterday Microsoft released another CTP on MSDN Subscriber Downloads, this one specifically targets the associated SQL 2005 CTP.

This makes the 4th version of VS 2005 available for download:

• Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Architect Beta 1
• Visual Studio 2005 Community Technology Preview May 2004
• Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 Refresh with Visual Studio 2005 Team System
• Visual Studio 2005 for the SQL Server 2005 CTP

The version that no longer seems to be available is the PDC 2004 version which worked with that version on Windows Longhorn.

While I like the interval with which these CTPs are released, I really hope that by the time of the next beta, or CTP, it will be more clear which works with what, e.g. can I use the team system stuff with the current CTP of VS and SQL 2005.

I do think this version of VS2005 does support E&C for C#, but I'm not sure, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
