“The SP1 release of Visual Web Developer 2008 Express adds support for both class library projects as well as web application projects (previously only web site projects could be used with it).  This new support is useful in itself, as well as in enabling both ASP.NET MVC and Silverlight project support with VWD Express.  If you install the Visual Web Developer Express SP1 Beta you can start using ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 with it immediately.”

Its about time! I hated the fact that you couldnt create Web Application and Class Libraries in the express edition. Now you can do it all! You even get Asp.Net MVC support!

I dont even know where to start! There are sooo many updates and new features. I’m really excited for the new Entity Framework coming out as well as the new Asp.net Routing Engine (aka Clean URLs & URL rewriting)!!
