Question about .NET

Hi Nick,

A lot in my opinion by instance

With 2002
You can direct only make code for Net 1.0

With 2003
You can make code for Net 1.0 and 1.1
You have the folderdialog
You have more stability in your IDE
You have a better conversion from 6.0 to 2003
A lot of bugs are gone (absolute not all)
You can do some compacter code

However there is more.

I hope this helps?

I find this a very bad link for this, even the folderbrowserdialog is not on
this page.

I think it's a good link.

'FolderBrowserDialog' isn't important, IMO, because it's so buggy that I
wouldn't use it ;-).
 
Hi Herfried,

How many times do I have to tell you that I almost can write your answer
myself.

:-)))))

However, I find the 2003 version a big advantage over the 2002 with which I
had always problems with loosing controls on the form, not closing well and
when I opened 2 times got unexpected behaviour.

By the way, which version are you using now?

Hi Brian,

Yes there is a control you can use to have a dialog about folders something
as the old dirbox.
When you want to use it is the name is folderbrowserdialog.

As Herfried always stated it has a bug with paths which are longer than 128
characters, what I never see write him is that there is that as far as I
know there is also a bug in Visual.Studio with paths longer than 128
characters, so maybe that folder dialog it is used in Visual.Studio.

:-)))

ACK, there are some advantages, but if I take a look at the Windows
Forms groups, there are often reports about damaged inherited forms
etc. which are "new" problems for VS.NET 2003.

2002, 2003, and 2005 CTP.
 
2002, 2003, and 2005 CTP.

I did remember me a sentence from you last week, however you was probably on
another place, because it stated that you had currently access to 2002 and I
thought you had written *no* access to 2002.

Luckily I checked that before I did make a prickling message (not hard of
course only for fun).

On one machine I have 2002 installed only. I want to update to 2003,
but I am too lazy to do that :-). It's an old machine (my 350 MHz
machine) and I am not sure if an update makes sense.
 
Thank you everyone for your opinions. My computer has been down since
five minutes after I posted the question. I was just trying to see if
I can save some money on books (I am so very cheap) butl looks like
I'm going to have to shell out full price for current technologies
(duh!). Thanks again.
