Yep, one more VS 2008 post - an overview link..

For those checking into VS 2008, Scott Guthrie has a new blog post of a good overview of 2008 and a warning for those developing Silverlight 1.1 to wait a couple of weeks before upgrading: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/11/19/visual-studio-2008-and-net-3-5-released.aspx[^]
Rocky <>< Blog Post: LINQ Scores a Yahtzee! Tech Blog Post: Cheap Biofuels and Synthetics coming soon?
I can't wait to start developing applications with plug-in functionality. They all them "addins" in the class library. I believe there are a couple of namespaces and numerous classes (I found a lot using a .NET reflector) devoted to it. It also appears that two of the assemblies are executables with a .exe extention. The one of them had a "32" appended to the name, so I assume there is a different assembly for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. How does it work? I'll find out when I get my hands on a copy of Visual Studio 2008 (not that I need to use it).

Thank you for that, I'm surprised there is so much in .net 3.5 that was apparently never discussed here. After reading through some of those changes like automatic properties, extension methods, anonymous types etc I'm starting to see that .net 3.5 is a pretty major change for people used to .net 2. There are a *lot* of implications in there for a business software developer such as myself. There's way more to .net 3.5 than LINQ.

No idea, I'm working only in .net 2 right now.

me too.. :) Microsoft is the only one who wanna move one version after another.. The most of software companies are still enjoying with .NET 1.1 or 2.0.

No, .NET 3 is just .NET 2 + WPF. .NET 3 is the new one being released right now, which includes a new .NET framework, new C# features (e.g. C# LINQ syntax, automatic properties, anonymous types, lambda expressions, ...), and new Visual Basic syntax for similar things, plus special VB syntax for dealing with XML. Note that .NET 3.5 does *not* require a new CLR. Everything in .NET 3.5, and indeed in .NET 3, are either new libraries added to the .NET framework and new language syntax candy. The CLR hasn't changed since 2.0 with generics. That means one can theoretically use these new features of C# 3.5 and still run on .NET 2.0.

I saw those things in C# 3.0 specification.. So, C# 3.0 is for .NET 3.5? I'm very confused with those versions.. Can you please clarify this? .NET 1.1 = C# 1.0 , VB.NET 8.0 .NET 2.0 = C# 2.0 , VB.NET 9.0 .NET 3.0 = C# 3.0 ?, ?? .NET 3.5 = C# 3.0 ?, ??

Funny that, I find myself rarely ever using a for loop anymore and using foreach instead with almost the only exception being cases where I need to modify the collection being iterated inside the loop.

I found myself almost being reacquainted with for in a recent project. I did a lot of work with correspondences between collections, for it was either foreach and an extra index variable, or a for loop and just use one index variable. Yes, I know lots of people would tell me that 'smells funny', and it is a prime target for refactoring, but it was more important to have it working than smelling like roses.

We are waiting with baited breath for VS2008, to continue working on our 2.0 project, but with the promised IDE enhancements.

Technically yes you could do that and we all do I'm sure with static helper methods. It does seem cleaner in a way to use an extension method but as I was reading it I was thinking about the case where you're coming in cold to look at some source code someone else wrote and you see something like this: string s=arg1; if(s.ValidURL()) { //blah blah; } Which can be all kinds of confusing versus: string s=arg1; if(UrlChecker.ValidURL(s)) { // blah blah; } Or what happens if you add an extension method to object and it conflicts with something you've written in a class derived from object?

In that case, class methods have precedence over extension methods. Extension methods require you to put the cursor on the call and look at the tooltip to see what's really being called, so I agree, they should only be used when they really help simplify the calling code - for operations that are likely to be chained (e.g. LINQ). Most extension methods examples I've seen so far tend to focus on extending the built-in types with unrelated methods, so I thought I should mention that the main benefit of extension methods is the infix syntax. Avoid extension methods if you don't need infix notation.

Yes, the C# language is at version 3. The .NET framework library is at version 3.5. .NET 3 had library changes (WPF, WCF, and others). That's it. The languages didn't change, so you still use C# 2 or VB 8 for that, just like you did for .NET 2. People get confused when they try to think of the .NET framework, the languages, and the CLR as kind of an "all-in-one" package that all get updated simultaneously. They're not. Instead, each gets updated in its own course of time. That's why we have CLR 2, .NET framework 3.5, C# 3, and VB 9.
