Anyone played with it? will it affect my vs 2008 and 3.5 installations?
no (at least not yet) .... and it shouldn't, and I don't see why it would. Just like previous, it should install side by side quite nicely.

Yay! Im going to download it shortly and see how I fare with it!
It .... Is .... Amazing!!!
And the WPF designer support is everything you would expect it to be. you HAVE to TRY IT!
Dont install it on your production system or a system with other VS versions. There are some issues still.
Thanks rob, I backed up everything in case I needed to reinstall. Have you tried it yet? It's pretty good. I really like the addon interface it will make custom tools much easier to build and get a hold of when it hits general release!
I downloaded it onto my Windows 7 RC virtual machine yesterday but havent had chance to look at it yet (was too busy discovering all the things I hate about windows 7 :) )
Just had a quick look at a WPF in it, first thing I found was that when you type this:
and then press Enter, the "End Property" and the Get and Set blocks are not automatically inserted for you :(vb Code:
EDIT: haha my bad, thats the new "auto-implemented property" feature at work :) It doesnt stick the rest of the property stuff in for you because it has already done it in the background. In fact, if you try to define another variable that has the same name as the property you just defined but with an _ before the name then it tells you that it conflicts with the property name, im guessing because it uses that name behind the scenes somewhere to implement the local variable to go with your public property. Clever stuff :)
I dunno If I like auto properties. At first I thought I did as the saved you from implementing blank properties but if a property is blank I'm starting to thing that maybe a global variable would be just the same.
Yea I started using it a few months ago. But my last hd died so I'm currently reinstalling everything under Window 7 RC now :DQuote:

Window 7 RC came out last week but if your itching and if the link is still up you could try to the Beta 1 version for free. RC is only available to MSDN subscribers.
Bugger! hey rob, you wanna buy your auld buddy DeanMc an MSDN subscription?
The RC is available to the public now Dean ;) I've got it installed on a virtual machine already
So Chris do you like 2010?
I've not spent enough time with it yet really to decide. I might install it on my work laptop in a minute and have another look at it... but it will probably take the rest of today to install the damn thing
