Inherited Forms

[=?Utf-8?B?RWRC?=]

VS 2005 seems to have ditched Inherited forms (from VS2003). They
work....sort of, when you port over an app.....but it is pretty fickle. Is
there a white page somewhere about what Mr Gates intended for us to do in
lieu of removing this feature?

I have similar issues, but all in all the Windows Forms editor is actually
more stable in VS2005 now that SP1 is out.

But longer term, mr gates wants us all to use WPF. And after looking at
XAML and WPF for a while now, that is actually a good thing. Its deep and
complex and different, but remarkably well architected for a Microsoft
development. If you are a design-pattern inclined person, which is why you
use inherited forms, I would embrace WPF as soon as feasible.

Well.....ok, but WPF is a .Net framework 3.0 thing, right? VS2005 is 2.0.
So why drop it now without a replacement?
