Splitter control in VS2005?

[Dean Slindee]

Will there be a VS2003-style splitter control in VS2005 when it gets past
Beta? I am not referring to the new splitter container in VS2005, but the
original splitter control in VS2003.

If not, then a lot of forms designed with splitters in legacy VS.NETs may be
more painful to port/upgrade into VS2005? Should I be concerned?

Thanks,
Dean Slindee

Dean,
The VS2003-style splitter control is currently in Beta 1 of VS2005, however
by default it does not appear in the toolbox, you can customize the toolbox
to add it back if you decide to continue using it.

I would not be concerned about them removing it in VS2005, if anything they
will mark it as Obsolete (via the ObsoleteAttribute), then possible remove
it in .NET 3.0 or .NET 4.0. NOTE It was not marked as Obsolete in beta 1.

Hope this helps
Jay
