Visual Basic 2008 Gems
The Visual Basic Team - Hidden Gems in Visual Basic 2008 (Amanda Silver)
"Yesterday I promised to post about the hidden gems in Visual Basic and Visual Studio 2008 that you haven’t read about in blog posts or seen at conferences. I forgot that I mentioned a few of my favorite features in the Beta1 announcement where I showed off the improvements in the Intellisense experience – statement completion for keywords, local variables, and expressions. In that post, I also cover a new language feature called Relaxed Delegates which allows you to provide alternate signatures for events. Both of those are pretty great features – but I promised to tell you about some new stuff.
I polled the team and we came up with the following top ten that weren’t mentioned in my previous post. There’s so much I could talk about – but you’re going to have to check back. But first, I have to start with a keynote feature…

11 Gems found in VB 2008.
I think #0, #10, #9, #3 are may favorites...
(Multi-targetting, Performance improvements and… Non-blocking operations!, Type inference for loop variables, Object Initializers)
Come the first of the year (to let the dust settle a little) we're SO upgrading to VS 2008... :)
