Hi -
When will version 2 be released of the .NET Framework. I am starting a new
project that will take around 3-4 months. Would it be worth my while to
start using version 2 and if so when does version 2 go public? - thanks -
any advice would be gratefully received



Cheers

Hi James,

I'm guessing that Framework 2.0 will be released with Visual Studio.NET 2005, which as the name says probably will be released in 2005.

Chances are it will not be released before your project is due, and developing on beta would not be a good idea as the final solution might change enough for the beta project to not work. It would probably be better to develop for v1.1 and then upgrade it to 2.0 in time.
 
I belive version 2.0 is highly connected with Visual Studio 2005, and the
expected release for that is "first half 2005".
This could mean anything from January to June. I have heard rumours that
beta 2 is comming out soon and that should be feature complete, only leaving
bug fixes and optimization before the release. "First half 2005 isn't
looking to bad then, but you never know, it could still be delayed for som
unforseen problem.

The license for .NET 2 beta doesn't allow you to distribute it, you can only
develop and test, so running the code on a beta at your client is not an
option.

Another thing to consider is what type of application are you making.
Winform or Webform? .NET 2 will include a lot of stuff for WebForms, the
stuff in Winforms you can compensate using third party controls.

With the uncertainty of .NET 2.0, I would stick to .NET 1.1 for the time
being, especially since you have a short timeframe.
