people talking about it alot here? what is it? a new ide for the .net framework?
Everette was the pre-release name for Visual Studio 2003. Whidbey is the pre-release name for the next version of Visual Studio.
what will the new vs.net bring? and for when will we be able to work with vb.net 2 and c# 2?
they sure will bring a lot of exciting features
VS.NET Whidbey will be release in alpha stage to all attendees of PDC next week. Betas should go out sometime in December.
VS.NET will bring a slew of improvements. New controls (eg. blogging server control, a new asp.net grid control). Edit and continue is back in VB.NET, C# will introduce Generics (i dont know if VB.NET will have them), and anonymous methods. There will be a new namespace called My for easy access to common things. eg. My.Computer.Mouse and so forth.
I cant wait to get my hands on the beta version.
I hate betas, I am hanging on to a VS .NET that I got a year ago in last years PDC, I am so cheepy :p
haha I kept thinking evrette is 2004:D
btw, it seems like each year microsoft is adding a lot to the framework and to visual studio. This way, it's really hard to catch up with all the changes:D aah I feel behind now :(
interesting ... thanks to all
with this speed that microsoft is giving things out, it really will be hard to catch up, specially for people like me that are already way behind
Everett was the code name for VS.NET 2003 thats out now. The next version is code named Whidbey which will be released in 2004.Quote:

i just visited Gitex ( www.gitex.com ) in dubai, i asked the dude in microsoft ( special part for visual studio.net ) when Whidbey going to be out, he said 2005 :eek:
Whidbey will be out next year 2004
2004 is correct. If you doubted us, check for yourself - Microsoft Timelines
?Maybe it wont be out in India until 2005? :confused:
Why India ?:D The guy is Iranian, and GITEX was in Dubai. Anyway in Iran everything comes before release :D I remember well that ppl sold a CD that contained Win2K SP3, 3-4 months before it was released, ofcourse that was not a true SP3.Quote:

I thought I read India my bad. I can always play the dumb American card since we never really pay attention to other countries. :D
So you mean those attacked Iraq were not Americans ? ;)Quote:

I mean (be warned this is my personal opinion) that Americans seem to more self-centered than other countries. I mean it seems like a ton of people from other countries speak english but american's never learn other languages. Some even ***** about all the mexicans here that don't speak english, even though we stole the country from them. American's also seem to be bad at klumping everyone together, like all latins are the same to us, all arabs are the same. Although I am an American I try not to be like this but I do thing generally speak that American's are the worst about things of this nature. All most know is that America is better and nothing much matters past that, it kind of disheartens me. Ok I'll shut up now before I get this thread moved to chit chat or some such.
I think totally understand what you mean:)
The codename Everett was chosen because of uncle Bill's obsession with the late English comedial Kenny Everett.
If you look closely at a tape of the XBox launch party a couple of years ago, you'll see Mr G wearing a feather boa under his tux and he's definitely showing a bit of eyeliner.
Its all in the best possible taste.
This is definitely true. ;)
