Whats new in .NET 2.0 for VB?

Is there a listing out there anywhere that lists what is new in .NET 2.0
mainly in VB? I've seen simple lists like oh we have all these new controls,
but I want a class list and such also. thanks!

It's all there and in links therefrom. Personally, the stuffs I find
myself using the most are: generics, the Using block, and the new
dataset designer. The My namespace makes a lot of things 'one liners'
that were tedious or impossible before.

That is handy. It doesn't seem to work for secondary projects in the
solution though. I haven't looked into it too much but E&C only seems
to work for the main project.

From a VB 6 perspective - having the compiler work in background and
generate a list of code errors is near the top. This one item has
significantly reduced my debugging time.

>> generate a list of code errors

Is this even new?

Michael,
From a VB 6 perspective - having the compiler work in background and
generate a list of code errors is near the top. This one item has
significantly reduced my debugging time.
As for me, however "Edit and Continue" has now again significantly increased
my debugging time. The option above was more than enough for me.

However, in my opinion is the without few knowledge about VB.Net talking VB6
advocacy strong.

TableLayoutPanel isn't that bad either (although it's buggy).

Steven,
Its been there since VS 2002, however I find it one of the significant
improvements over VB6. Especially when compared to VB6's one error at a time
in a modal dialog box...

I tried VS 2002 and hated it. When VS 2005 Beta came out, I gave it a try
and started switching.

>> I tried VS 2002 and hated it.

All comments seem to be about Visual Studio rather than VB as the OP
asked for.
Hating VS2002 is like saying "I hate HTML because I didn't like
Dreamweaver 3".
Or I don't like to drive cars because once I drove a '74 Escort and it
handled really badly!
Or I don't eat vegetables because I don't like Peas.

You get the idea....

That's indeed a pain in the *ass, Visual Studio 2005 is much slower than
2003. It really eats RAM (200 megabyte for only openign a solution), and it
takes minutes to open a form.

Visual Studio 2005 itself is really buggy also Really a shame :-/

Who is among those who have screamed that it should be there while others
like me asked let it be there as soon as is working well?

The current version looks likes that it was impossible to give the release
some more time just because of that screaming. In my opinion should
developers not feed marketing guys to hit other developers.

Sorry, but it is ridiculous to blame users (I mean us, developers) for
a buggy software.

I suppose that the folks that develop VS.Net (and VB.Net by the way)
are the best payed developers in the world, I'm sure they're among the
best of the best, but maybe they should review their internal
regulations or whatever rules thay have to follow that is maybe taking
out their senses: the current state of edit & continue, is -- forgive
my french -- a *laughable* example of software, let us be honest... (of
course, that's just my opinion).

Regards,

Branco.

I used the Beta's and Release candidates, and actually I really
wanted/thought that Microsoft would postpone the release, but they didn't...
