.NET 3.0

[Guest]

Hi

I just thought of writing my MCTS exam, which targets .NET 2.0. However, i
also came across many info on .NET 3.0, now this just makes me to think,
whether should i go ahead and do MCTS? Any idea when is 3.0 getting released
and is there any new IDE again going to be launched for it?

.NET 3.0 is the .NET 2.0 CLR + WinFX, so it actually simply is .NET
2.0 core with additional libraries.

There won't be a special IDE version for .NET 3.0, the next vs.net
version (Orcas) will be released in h2 2007 (or later) and will target
..NET 3.5

Hi,

In addition there will be no any changes in the 3.0 runtime itself.

Thank you,
Andrei

The best I've heard is that the 3.0 framework will be released in the Vista
timeframe (end of this year, start of next). This will not include Visual
studio integration. The next version of visual studio is currently code-named
Orcas and there is no published date for it to be released at this point.
If you want the MCTS, go for it. If you wait until the next technology is
released, you will constantly be waiting. It's similar to waiting for X computer
to come out before you purchase it. PC's are obsolete before they come off
of the assembly line. .Net technologies are at a similar speed at this point.

There is plenty .NET 3.0 support for VS 2005: Project templates for WPF and
WCF, the Cider UI editor for WPF, VS Workflow Extensions...
