visual studio 2005 beta / visual studio.net 2003
-
Hi, I am currently working with VS .NET 2003 Enterprise. I got the new CD's from Microsoft containing VS 2005 BETA a couple of months ago and would like to start using them (I develop using ADO .NET,C# .NET,VC++,MFC,VB .NET ,pocket pc, and ASP .NET so these are the ones I'm most interested in my questions). I have a few questions regarding the VS 2005 beta: 1.Is it possible to install it on the same PC with VS .NET 2003 or should I uninstall VS .NET 2003 first? 2.Can I open and compile all C#,VB,C++ MFC projects that where created and used with VS .NET 2003 on the VS 2005 BETA with no problems? 3.Why is it called VS 2005 and not VS .NET 2005? 4.when is the VS 2005 release version expected? 5.What are the general improvements to VS 2005 BETA compare to VS .NET 2003? 6.What is the download from the Microsoft MSDN Subscriber Downloads site for the VS 2005 BETA, which is equivalent to VS .NET 2003 Enterprise developer? Thanks in advance for the response. Aviv. avivhal

Hey Aviv.. I think i can help yo with some of your questions. 1. I Succesfully installed the 2005 C++ demo, alon with Visual Studio 2003 .NET pro 2. I have succesfully opend some projects from this site in 2005 VB edition, they have created some kind of project converter. BUT when the project is converted, you wont be able to open it in the older versions of .NET 4. They are expecting to release it in the first half calender year of 2005. hope you find this useful :)

Thanks for the reply. I dug a bit info from the msdn, and didn’t find any significant changes ( apart from when the new window OS version will be released...) I think I'll wait for the release. Thanks again. Aviv. avivhal

Answers to some of the questions that are yet unanswered: 3. Because the .NET moniker has become a bit of an embarasment for Microsoft (101 different unrelated things got labeled as such-and-such.NET meaning nobody was really sure what ".NET" actually meant anymore)( 5. One big improvement is the introduction of version 2.0 of the .NET framework, which adds lots of extra stuff - have a look here[^] for lots of info 6. There's a download link for the beta in the link above -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Phoenix Paint - back from DPaint's ashes!
