How was your upgrade to VS.NET 2005?

[Brett Romero]

I'm using VS.NET 2003 with Framework 1.1. I want to upgrade to VS.NET
2005 and Framework 2.0. I'd like to hear comments from people that
have moved to the new platform with final releases of VS.NET and the
framework. I'm interested in any installation and code migration
issues you may have had.

Thanks,
Brett

Brett,

So far I have seen the following:

1. Some comments after the #region statement that included a \ caused a
compile problem (easy fix)
2. The use of AutoSize as a property name for some of my own custom
controls is a problem since this is a new property of the base class in 2.0
3. Several deprecated warnings

Nothing major.

What do you mean a "browsable" attribute "broke" all of your code?

The Browsable attribute can used to mark a property so that it will not be
displayed in a PropertyGrid. You put [Browsable(false )] on the property and
it no longer shows up in a PropertyGrid control, just like the documentation
says. That worked fine in V1.1, but, in V2.0, adding [Browsable(false )] to
a property prevents any data binding to the property.

Almost all of our objects have at least one property that is marked with
[Browsable(false )] so all of our data binding is broken (for no good reason
I might add).

What exactly are you using the PropertyGrid for?

Thanks,
Brett

That's ugly. That must be a bug, no?

I reported it as a bug, we'll see what Microsoft says.

Fortunately, we aren't using PropertyGrid for anything but, we have plans to
so we made sure that our objects work properly in a PropertyGrid. Plus, our
customers could be using our objects together with a PropertyGrid.

Keep in mind that a PropertyGrid is a very awkward way of setting
properties/ dealing with settings. For example it doesn't support TAB
to jump to a next line and is often a small part of the screen, forces
you to open a new editor often modally, etc.

If possible, write a more properly way of offering the data to change
to your users.

I upgraded my VS2003 C# application to VS 2005 .Net 2.0.

I got an upgrade report that said it Converted some files (mainly
project files) and did not convert others (no need to convert). It built
the exes and dlls[ although I got 133 warnings). So, I assumed that
the upgrade went thru successfully.

The app is a service and I am getting a Type Initializer exception when
the service comes up.

What could be causing it? The same app works fine in VS2003 and .Net FW
1.1.

Thanks in advance for your help.
