New features in vb.net 2005

[tshad]

Is there a place to see the new features in the VB.Net language in 2005?

I know that you can have nullable variables for one and in strings:

Dim s10 As String() = Regex.Split("Each word in this string will end up
being an item in this string array", " ")
For ktr As Integer = 0 To s10.Length
Console.WriteLine("s10 = {0}", s10(ktr))
Next

The "s10(ktr)" works in 2005 and doesn't in 2003.

Thanks,

Tom

Make that (s10.Length - 1) and it will work in both 2003 and 2005. As is, it
won't work in either.

Try the What's New index in MSDN. They give details of what's new in
the .NET framework 2 for VB.NET, C#, C++, etc

This month's Visual Studio Magazine has an OK article on some of the new
stuff. But, yeah, in depth, non-cursory, discussions on what's new is hard
to find. Most chatter centers around LINQ (enough already!) while details on
other improvements (like improvements in the designers etc.) is hard to come
by.

In the January column of OnVB,
http://visualstudiomagazine.com/colu...olumnistsid=69 , I
focused on the new XML features as I thought that was the biggest and most
significant feature. The more I use XML in VB9 the more I love it, and it
really does change the way you work with XML.

A lot of the other 2008 features I had already covered in earlier columns.
The quick reference guide :
http://visualstudiomagazine.com/list...st.aspx?id=252
provides an over view and links to earlier columns that drill down on more
detail of the features.

We do love to get feedback, so please do email me or the editor, or leave a
comment online :)

Bill McCarthy.
