C# 2.0 Status

[Hongjun Zheng]

I learned from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/team/language/default.aspx,
that there is C# 2.0 specification. I was wandering if 2.0 has been
implemented,
released in any production and Beta.

Any ideas? Thanks.

HJ,

C# 2.0 (and .NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005) are all in beta right now. The
expected release date for these things is sometime in 2005 (first quarter, I
would guess).

Hope this helps.

If that's the case, it seems to have the same "rough" projected date as Whidbey
(2005), if it's scheduled for the first quarter of 2005. Whidbey is due the
beginning of next year as well. Same goes with SqlServer 2005 :) (Forgot
codename for that).

Do we know if the upgrade will be as cheap as last upgrade ($39)?

Thanks

Mythran,

That's exactly right. VS.NET 2005 is slated to coincide with the SQL
Server 2005 release, which means that .NET 2005 would have to come out at
the same time as well.

George,

Pricing will probably not be known until sometime before the release
date.

I think that's unlikely - there's a lot more difference between VS.NET
2003 and Whidbey than there was between VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003.

I know it's a little confusing but Whidbey was the code name for both the
.NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 so:

C# Whidbey = C# 2.0 = C# 2005

right, $39 to upgrade a 3 year old development environment (when 2005 is
release).... I don't see that one happening.

2002 to 2003 was cheap because it was an incremental update, 1.0 to 1.1...

Rob,

Whidbey was actually just the code name for VS.NET, it was never the
code name for the framework itself. Since VS.NET depends on .NET and its
enhancements, the code name was given to VS.NET.

Also, C# does not have a 2005 version. It will be referred to as C#
2.0.

I have the March Preview of VS.NET 2005 and SQL Server Yukon, and Whidbey is awesome. Also, I'm prety sure its in the alpha stage, not beta.

I am a 14 year old C# developer, I am completely self taught, so please don't get mad if I ask a stupid question. Thanks.

I thought all the stuff that was based on the 2.0 version of the framework
(i.e. the CLR, FCL, languages and IDE) was part of Whidbey. It's not really
important.

As far as the naming goes, I was just looking through the TechEd sessions
(which are starting to come online at the link below) and all the C#
specific sessions use "Visual C# 2005" as the name of the product.

Rob,

Visual C# 2005 is the name for the development environment (there is a
standalone Visual C# product), not the language itself. The language itself
is going to be C# 2.0.

Like you said, it's not really important. =)
