WSPBuilder Extensions is the tool used to develop SharePoint applications using Visual Studio 2008. This tool made the development of SharePoint applications much easier, and stopped the manual deployment of the assemblies and manually creating the manifest.xml file.

Using this tool, all you need is to build, deploy and run your SharePoint application via Visual Studio 2008. For more details about the WSPBuilder, please check this website http://wspbuilder.codeplex.com/
