I started to develop an application using C#2005Express ...
Although Vs.net 2003 is on the market some time now it
looks to me more "beta" than 2005. The worst part of it
are the Windows Forms and its controls which i found
very improved in 2005. It's crucial for me because my
software from its definition requires a lot of user interface.

Do You think that the 2005 beta will heve a many changes
comparing to finall version? Doe's anybody than me stated
to work with 2005 seriously? I'm trying to write espacially
code-behind methods by now because I assume that Windows
Forms are still an object of some changes and improvements
is this correct approach? How about You'r experiences with
2002beta and finall version?

Sorry my Englisch :-) Jacek
 
Hi,

Well, 2005 is still beta 1 IIRC, if you have to ship the project this year,
start of the next I advise you to not use it, it may change before the final
revision , beside 2003 has all you need to develop a rich interface.

Finally I don;t know if there are any licences limitation with it, I do
remember that when the CF was in beta there was a restriction that you could
not ship a commercial application until after a date.

Cheers,

Jacek,

C# Express 2005 is a "release candidate". Typically those are fairly
feature complete and you would not expect significant functional changes
before release. From here on in it should be mostly bug fixes and
performance enhancements.

Of course there are never promises when it comes to beta software.

I would feel comfortable developing a solution with C# Express 2005 or VS
2005 provided that I don't have to deploy it until some date that should be
comfortably after its official release.

Not sure where you got this from, but this is wrong, all Express 2005
products are Beta1 not a release candidates.
