Content specific to VS 2005 Web and Load Tests

Many of the issues we wrote about for VS 2005 were addressed in VS 2008. I’ve decided to pull those articles that are no longer applicable to 2008 into a separate table below. Note that some links above were written to 2005, but partially or in whole still apply to 2008 so I’ve left them in the table above. Links below really no longer pertain to 2005. So if you are using 2005, you should also go through the content in both tables.
