SQL and Visual Studio 2005

Why SQL Server 2005?
Whether you recently decided to incorporate Microsoft SQL Server into your solution, or you have been developing on SQL Server for many years, you'll find that SQL Server 2005 provides new and enhanced features that can make your product development easier, faster, and more profitable.
SQL Server 2005 has enhanced integration with Visual Studio and the .NET Framework. Developers can now leverage their existing programming skills by using their favorite .NET language, such as Visual Basic .NET or C#, directly in SQL Server. In addition, native support for XML and Web services enhances interoperability with other platforms and applications.

Why Visual Studio 2005?

The software industry is moving towards service-oriented architectures, resulting in application development increasing in complexity. At the same time, software development organizations are becoming increasingly specialized and geographically distributed.
Visual Studio 2005 enables developers to focus on the more complex aspects of a solution by reducing the amount of code they need to write by about 35%. This enables ISVs to get solutions to market more quickly. Visual Studio 2005 also provides a more efficient team development and testing environment, enabling ISVs to ship products that require less customer support.
