VS 2005 for Gadget development?

Hello,

I am confused. We have an elegant tool for program development, VS 2005, but it seems that we cannot use it for Gadget development. It is hard to understand why the Gadget development team did not use VS 2005 as the way to create Gadgets. There are Express versions of VS 2005, so even beginners can use VS 2005.

Is there a way to create Gadgets using VS 2005

Thanks

Tom

    Cool thanks, i just went to download that, and wondered why it was going so slow, its a 3.7GB Download!

    Just got the full March Orcas CTP and it does indeed have better javascript intellisense. Ill see how useful it is on my next gadget :)

    You might try the Orcas CTP that was recently published. I haven't tried it myself (yet), but it claims to have better JavaScript intellisense.

    I use it to edit the files, but it's not much help with javascript files, it only really highlights functions and things in """.

    Some more functionality would be nice
