people talking about it alot here? what is it? a new ide for the .net framework?

**Edneeis** · Oct 19th, 2003, 03:47 AM

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

**DevGrp** · Oct 19th, 2003, 09:30 AM

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

haha I kept thinking evrette is 2004

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

aah I feel behind now

**persianboy** · Oct 19th, 2003, 03:25 PM

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

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

**DevGrp** · Oct 24th, 2003, 01:04 PM

**MrGTI** · Oct 24th, 2003, 02:28 PM

2004 is correct. If you doubted us, check for yourself - Microsoft Timelines

Why India ?

The guy is Iranian, and GITEX was in Dubai. Anyway in Iran everything comes before release

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.

**Edneeis** · Oct 25th, 2003, 01:46 AM

I thought I read India my bad. I can always play the dumb American card since we never really pay attention to other countries.

So you mean those attacked Iraq were not Americans ?

**Edneeis** · Oct 25th, 2003, 02:16 AM

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.

**Lunatic3** · Oct 25th, 2003, 02:40 AM

I think totally understand what you mean

**wossname** · Oct 25th, 2003, 07:08 AM

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.
