Can anybody tell me the site from which I can download Visual Studio 2008? Because Visual Studio 2010 is now able to be purchased I can't find Studio 2008.

Microsoft doesn't seem to want you do use VS2008 anymore. Here are some currently valid links (for express), though.

web installers:

VB express 2008:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vbsetup.exe

C# express 2008:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vcssetup.exe

C++ express 2008:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vcsetup.exe

web developer express 2008:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/c/3/dc3439e7-5533-4f4c-9ba0-8577685b6e7e/vnssetup.exe

Note that the registration page for VS2008 404's. To get around this, see my answer here.

And grab the web installer according to what version you want:

vbsetup.exe - for visual basic

vcsetup.exe - for c/c++
