Getting ready for Vista

Hi All,

I am developing a program in VS 2005. Does anyone know what are the
things I need to lookout for to make this program compatible with
upcoming Vista?

Thanks.

HI,

AFAIK Vista ships .net 2.0 so anything you develop with VS05 will run in
Vista.

Another completely different thing is if you want to use the Aero interface,
AFAIK this is not supported in VS05

Note that this article doesn't talk about managed code, while this may look
strange it isn't that important, because one of the benefits of .NET is that
it virtualizes the underlying OS, that means that existing managed
applications should run on Vista just like they run on XP SP2.
