SharpDevelop .90 is now out and has added Code Completion back in and the form Designer now generates code in C# and VB .NET. The limitation is that you have to copy and paste the generated code into a .vb or .cs file in your project and cant just directly refernce the .xfrm file. But you can still save your form layout to change later if need be. Still a very handy tool for those that cant get Visual Studio or want to develop on a Win 98 or ME machine.
umm you're a part of this csharp develope thingie cander? you own it or it owns you perhaps?:D
it 0wnz me! LOL
I have no afiliation with the project, I talk alot about though because it is a great free tool..especially for those who want to do .NET programming but cant because either they cant afford VS .NET, or dont have NT, 2000, or XP to isntall it on. SharpDevelop will instasll and work on 98 and ME with just the 21 meg .NET framework. And I know it is acommon complaint of people with 98/ME that they cant install the full SDK or VS.
:)
I tried the C# thingie, worked fine.... but for vb.net, it runs the program via a console app, weird!
umm, so there's not design environment yet? are they gunno make one for it?
and btw how does it compile? does it use the MS's compiler?
The framework has all the compiling stuff built in. That is what it uses. Well there is a design environment in a sense. The form editor is there but kind of limited. If you goto New, Add File. Select XMLForm and you can open a new form editor. You can drag controls and all that on it and it generates the code, but you have to copy and paste it into a .vb or .cs file and continue coding it from there. This is just the first release with a working form designer, but they are working to make it better and more powerfull
