Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2008

I've now been using Windows 7 Beta since release to MSDN subscribers, and am pretty chuffed with it. The new Taskbar is a joy to use, and the whole thing is very stable :)

I've only one niggle with it and that is that when I'm trying to add 3rd party controls to Visual Studio via the browse assemblies dialog, VS2008 has a think, throws a silent fit and disappears. This doesnt happen when adding references.

Has anyone else had experience of this? I shall do some digging and see if I can isolate it a bit more :)

VS2008 SP1 and the missing Toolbox controls

I recently upgraded my VS2008 installation to the new SP1 release, I found that several of the .Net controls disappeared from the ToolBox, including the Button.

A new Toolbox also appeared labelled "#13119" with nothing in it.

To resolve this issue I had to delete the cached version of the Toolbox in my User profile, then when restarted VS2008 recreated the Toolbox and my missing controls reappeared.

Sorted :)
