    at http://mymsevents.com/MyMSEvents/Search.aspx[^] The abstracts to each of the PDC sessions are available and offer more clues to new features of the OS. I have known about these features for awhile, but couldn't say anything because of NDA, but now that Microsoft has disclosed them. I'm telling you, this year's PDC is going to ROCK!!!!! For example, "refactoring" and "visualization" is mentioned as a new feature in the C# session. The C++ session mentions "deterministic finalization." Visual C# "Whidbey": IDE Enhancements for the C# Developer Track: Tools and Languages Code: TLS321 Speakers: Anson Horton, Joe Nalewabau Visual C# "Whidbey" includes improvements to the code editor and debugger that cater to the code-focused needs of the C# developer. With support for refactoring in the code editor, advanced visualizations in the debugger, and more, Visual C# "Whidbey" supplements its modern syntax and component-oriented features with new and powerful productivity-enhancing IDE features. Also, check out the section on Windows Forms with Office-style controls. Windows Forms: Building Polished Applications with the .NET Framework "Whidbey" Track: Client Code: CLI331 Speakers: Mark Rideout Learn about the new "Whidbey" Windows Forms features that enable you to build Office-style, professional looking, cutting-edge applications and user interfaces. Learn how to use the new toolbar control to make cool, rich toolbars and menus that behave and look just like Office. Next, integrate in the GridView, WebBrowser, and ActiveDocument controls to provide rich content. Finally, add dynamic application update checks to ensure your users have the latest and greatest!

            Nice! I'm looking forward to the new C#... but I won't be able to use it until SharpDevelop supports .NET 2.0. There's no way I will be able to go to PDC, but at least after PDC, people will be talking about it all over the place, and I can tune in.

              Refactoring is this idea of "garbage in, good code out." I also have some ocean front property for sale in Nevada. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                    [edited] ... refactoring and advanced debugger visualitization ... [/edited] That's about time !!!! Almost any good java ide (this 2 words together form a oxymoron, but I actualy like the Eclipse Ide , less heavy than any other pure swing java ide ...) supports to a decent degree code refactoring ... Good debugger visualization is supported in DDD about ages ... DDD is a open-source frontend to gdb (GNU debugger) and dbx(solaris) debugger ... albeit the conjunction DDD/dbx is a piece of crap ... too damn sluggish and unstable that I prefer to debug on the dbx command line :mad: ... unfortunately the debugger choice for programming c++ in Solaris(my day job) is a BIT restricted :(( BTW besides refactoring and advanced debugger visualization , I truly would enjoy that Nant and NUnit (or similar) would be incorporated in the product ... and a truly advanced persistent layer like CMP beans (container managed persistent enterprise components in J2EE) ... that works as an O/R database mapping layer ...

What's refactoring and what do they mean by "visualization"? [Edit] After looking around on google, it sounds like refactoring simply means rewriting pieces of code (i.e. something that has been done since the advent of programming languages). Nothing new, just a term for something that's always been done. What's new is that the IDE includes tools to help with development um - refactoring. Link[^] One refactory tool on the internet says, JRefactory is a tool that allows you to perform the following refactorings: Move class between packages (repackage), Rename class, Add abstract parent class, Add child class, Rename Parameter, ... Another refactoring tool: The Refactoring Browser is smart enough to rename every reference to your class, method or variable. If you've ever renamed a variable and broken classes in widely scattered parts of your system, you might be happier using a Refactoring Browser.

                                  what do they mean by "visualization"? Well you're now going visualize all your bugs away. This is sort of like optimizing your bugs away but more efficient.

Alternately you could try Smalltalk, Objective-C, Delphi, all of which have had this for a *really* long time now. And soon you'll be ablt to do this with the VCF! :) (Actually you already can but I don't have an IDE ready for it yet). ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

                                        [edited] ... refactoring and advanced debugger visualitization ... [/edited] That's about time !!!! Almost any good java ide (this 2 words together form a oxymoron, but I actualy like the Eclipse Ide , less heavy than any other pure swing java ide ...) supports to a decent degree code refactoring ... Good debugger visualization is supported in DDD about ages ... DDD is a open-source frontend to gdb (GNU debugger) and dbx(solaris) debugger ... albeit the conjunction DDD/dbx is a piece of crap ... too damn sluggish and unstable that I prefer to debug on the dbx command line :mad: ... unfortunately the debugger choice for programming c++ in Solaris(my day job) is a BIT restricted :(( BTW besides refactoring and advanced debugger visualization , I truly would enjoy that Nant and NUnit (or similar) would be incorporated in the product ... and a truly advanced persistent layer like CMP beans (container managed persistent enterprise components in J2EE) ... that works as an O/R database mapping layer ...
