Confused: vs2k5, 3.0 framework, wcf/wpf and orcas

SteveW

Now that vista and the 3.0 framework are gold, I'm a bit confused, so any
clarification would be very helpful.

The 3.0 framework is gold and is downloadable etc. What is not 'gold' and
'supported' is the WCF/WPF addons to vs2k5. But here's where I get confused.

If I have vs2k5 source code. which contains 3.0 'code', on a pc which does
not have the WCF/WPF addons. It compiles, runs, has intellisense etc. etc.
etc.

So what exactly does the WCF/WPF addons do for me? And is anything I do
supported in this manner?

Thanks!

Steve :)

WCF and WPF are part of .NET3.0. The add-on you are talking about is add-on
to VS2005, so that you can develop WCF/WPF applications with VS2005. Users
of you app only need to have .NET3.0 installed to run your WCF/WPF app.

"ORCAS" is the next version of VS that fully capable of WCF/WPF and more
development.

But... .without the addins, I can compile/build wcf solutions? So what do
the addins bring to the table?

They bring the skeleton code which gets generated when you create a new
project in VS for wcf.

Hello SteveW,

SNow that vista and the 3.0 framework are gold, I'm a bit confused, so

SThe 3.0 framework is gold and is downloadable etc. What is not
S'gold' and 'supported' is the WCF/WPF addons to vs2k5. But here's
Swhere I get confused.

Only extention is not released, because they are working on the editors,
intellisence and other IDE stuff to give u really good tool to design and
create your app

SIf I have vs2k5 source code. which contains 3.0 'code', on a pc which
Sdoes not have the WCF/WPF addons. It compiles, runs, has intellisense
Setc. etc. etc.

it doesnt matter, the most important is that WCF/WPF already released

SSo what exactly does the WCF/WPF addons do for me? And is anything I
Sdo supported in this manner?

Addon means IDE support, which a little bit weak just right now. But from
the framework perspective everything is ok

So what new suprises are in store for us with Orcas? I am downloading the VPC now to try it out myself.

Microsoft has made it clear that backwards compatability is no longer a priority. The question is, just how long will developers (and the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
