We have not yet tested the use of .net 3.5 with Vegas 8.

Although I have only built a simple hello world application so far, I have gotten a script developed with VS 2008 Express to build and debug when executed with Vegas 8 Pro. It wasn't easy.

The main problem I found is that the instructions found in the Vegas 8 SDK FAQ about how to tell VS 2008 to launch Vegas for debugging your .dll project no longer work for VS 2008. Microsoft has removed the fields that allow launching an external .exe. (In the Express version of VS 2008.)

Fortunately, it is possible to set the the configuration file to get the correct functionality. I found the answer to my problem here:

I'll be building a simple batch render derivative script in C#. I'll post here to let you know how it turns out.

shoot... I just started trying to create my first custom command and I'm using VS2008. Is there any reason I should try to find an earlier version of Visual Studio? I got the Hello World script to run okay too, after some messing around. Thanks for the tip on getting the debug functionality to work.

How did your batch render script come out?
