Hello all,
I ran into a couple applications written in c#, but we do not have
the
full version of visual studio.net 2003, so I thought they were most
likely written in the beta version. After some research, I found out
that sooner or later the applications written in beta would just stop
working. This is going to be a major problem and I was hoping that
there was some way I could find out if they were in fact written in
the beta version. It would be a great help to find this out before
they mysteriously stop working, so any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Your post is somewhat unclear... Are these applications that have no source
code? If so what would you need Visual Studio 2003 for? To run a .NET app,
all you need is to have the .NET Framework installed, and that's a free
download.
If you want to look at source code, you can get the appropriate "Express"
version from Microsoft as a free download also, or you could use
SharpDevelop, also free.
Please explain.
Peter

These applications DO have source code and we have .NET 1.1 framework
installed.
These applications were written before the current staffs time and we
can't find out where they came from. They were not contracted out, so
we're assuming that whoever built them internally must have built them
in the beta version of .net 2003 as we do not own .net 2003, now or
ever. Since we found out that apps written in beta will someday just
stop working we are worried that our apps are going to fail soon and
would like to avoid that. Is this a warranted fear or should we not
worry about it?
Sorry if I'm unclear, but these apps are not what we usually code in
so I may be a little newbish in terminology and what exactly needs to
be explained. Thanks for your help, regardless.
Ok well let's set some facts straight:
1) A compiled application requires only the .NET Framework, which doesn't
"expire".
2) Unless the author put some sort of "Time bomb" into these apps, there is
nothing to stop them from running at some date in the future. Plus, since you
have the source code, you could find it if they did and take it out.
Bottom line, your fears are unwarranted and not based on the facts.

Hi chaps,
Does anyone know if the beast is going to release Visual Tools for office to
work with Visual Studio 2002 and not just 2003, or are they quite happy to
shaft those that supported them when their product just cam out.
I can't see why the tools shouldnt work with 2002 seeing as its almost
identical to 2003.
