Visual Studio® 2008 and the underlying Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.5 offer new tools and support for Windows® Communication Foundation (WCF). They don't change the basic capabilities of WCF 1.0 (released with the .NET Framework 3.0); rather, they extend and complete it. Visual Studio 2008 automates manual WCF tasks, which includes updating proxy references, and eliminates repetitive tasks such as creating simple host projects. Visual Studio also addresses some tough problems such as cross-targeting and data contract type sharing.
