Re: Have you upgraded to VS 2005?

Hi,

I have upgraded to vs 2005. There are a lot of new controls
like the toolstrip and the datagridview which are really nice. Edit and
continue was brought back. Code snippets are awsome.

Just wondered if you have found some distinct improvements that are worth
mentioning.

I have found that I have spent a lit of time recently coding things that I
wonder may be improved in VS 2005 - I wonder if any of you have found that
they are better in VS 2005?

Oh and do can you produce a forms app in 2005 without having the user
upgrade from .Net 1.1? I am concerned that some users won't want to update
their dot net yet.

The items I would hope are improved are:
i) deployment [help system authoring, bootstrapper, serial
numbering/licensing system, etc]
ii) GUI [menu design(icons etc)]

I've lots more but those are the main ones that are bothering me at the
moment...

If there's anything you more experienced prgrammers feel is worth
mentioning about VS 2005 to convince me to part with money to upgrade,
then please mention it.

TIA

JJ
