Whidbey
I installed (and played with briefly) VS.Next - codename Whidbey late last night. My first impressions are "I WANT THIS AT WORK NOW!!!". I built just a small page that takes input and displays it on the screen, nothing earth shattering or revolutionary whatsoever. But I like the IDE's changes so far, the integration of pseudo-IIS is great and the new ability to do inline coding ( YUCK ) and source only ( YEAH ) will help those poor unfortunates stuck in the 90's chained to "Classic" asp's hodgepoge of delimiters "<%" mixed with html tags make the conversion a little less painful. Converting to OOP from scripting cannot be helped though, sorry asp'ers :(
I will dig deeper this weekend and see if there is anything I don't love. Much thanks to
Kent Tegels for getting me rolling on dotnetjunkies.com..
