Smart Client Software Factory for Visual Studio 2008

Smart Client Software Factory for Visual Studio 2008

I've written in the past about Software Factories Support for Visual Studio 2008, and mentioned that currently there is no support for Smart Client Software Factory for Visual Studio 2008.

During the time that post was written, project Acropolis was alive and there were no plans to enable working with CAB and Smart Client Software Factory in Visual Studio 2008. Recently, when project Acropolis was stopped and the Composite WPF started instead, the plans were changed. According to Glenn Block, the team is now working on supporting Smart Client Software Factory for Visual Studio 2008. We can expect this support in January or February.

If you are want to use Smart Client Software Factory with Visual Studio 2008 today, follow the instructions here (written originally for Beta 2 but should work the same).

Enjoy!
