Essential Studio 2010 Vol 1 Has Problem working with VS2008

Question

I took a few hours to install Syncfusion Trial version and went through the controls and samples of Essential Studio 2010 Vol 1. The UI looks great and they offer comprehensive controls.

I'm impressed by splash panel/control and also Grid performance samples. The dock panel works just as what I want.

My machine only has VS2008 and .NET 3.5. So I experienced a few issues, it stopped to explore the beauty of Essential Studio 2010 Vol 1 :

1. Crash Visual Studio when click on Toolbar tab

I tried to create an evaluation WinForm application by using the controls, but it's failed. As soon as I clicked on Toolbar tab, the Visual Studio crashed and disappeared.

2. Sample project is still in VS2003 code style and Not able to run debug build in VS2008 directly

I took a look at the sample source code in VS2008. For example, ~\Syncfusion\8.1.0.30\Windows\Grid.Grouping.Windows\Samples\2.0\Grouping Grid Layout\Employee View Demo\CS.

The demo project can be opened in VS2008 directly without any problem. But the code style is still in VS2003.
Also, it's not able to run the debug build from Visual Studio directly.

3. When I ran some samples, they are either crashed or hanging.

Please let me know which version support in VS2008 nicely. I can download it and give it try asap.

Thanks a lot!
