my first .net 3.0 question

[Pete]

Sorry if this isn't the place to ask, but I can't locate a more specific NG
to post this in.

I grabbed the SDK and Visual Studio 2005 add-ins for .net 3.0 and decided to
take a look at it. First thing I've noticed is the behaivior of the
Menubar(was menubar, then went to MenuStrip, now MenuBar again). It seems
you can't add items to the menubar in the designer like you can in 1.x and
2.0, by just clicking and typing in the text you want.

Is this true, or am I missing something? Will i need to manually code all
my MenuItems in 3.0 ?

Thanks!

Hi,

to post this in.

WPF related questions (.NET 3.0 is more than just WPF, but your question
is WPF specific) can be asked in
microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.avalon (avalon was WPF's
codename). Even though that newsgroup has less traffic than the current
one, it would be more on topic.

Also, you can ask WPF related question in the MDSN WPF forum, available
over the Web at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=119&SiteID=1

Keep in mind that Cider (WPF visual designer for VS2005) is in a very
early stage. It's not possible to do much in Cider yet. According to
what I heard, Cider should be released together with Orcas, maybe in a
year or so. In the mean time, you can code XAML manually, which is
fairly easy thanks to Intellisense.

Is this true, or am I missing something? Will i need to manually code all
my MenuItems in 3.0 ?

Thanks!
