|  Thoughts on VS 2005 Beta 2?
Currently installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and was curious if anyone else has tried this and what you think about it? I am in my 3rd year of schooling for Software Engineering and I do alot of C++, C# and ASP.NET programming, curious to what others think about this 2005 beta. |

I haven't tried it yet, being as I'm not an MSDN subscriber. Hopefully one of the companies I work for will want to try it out soon enough  | |

Finally got it installed, it is AMAZING, there are so many options and environments to program in. Microsoft definitely took their time on 2005, I can't wait till the actual product comes out. If you can get your hands on VS 2005 Beta 2, do it.

Something Sexy: Don't use VS 2005 Beta 2 for C# and C++ programming, use a Linux dist. As for ASP.NET, don't use it at all.
Iron_Cross: If you really want VS 2005 Beta 2, download BearShare or Kazaa and search for it or google for a free copy of it.

| Can I get a reason why before you just denounce it? I have used Visual Studio for all my projects and pretty much everything I program and it is a easy to use environment/interface and has everything I need, I don't see me changing my tools any time soon. And am I wrong to say that I would probably have to use Visual Studio .NET to program in ASP .NET? | |

I like VS also. I'm sure there are other good IDEs out there, but VS seems to be one of the best. Unfortunately, it comes at a cost. a BIG one, too. Rrrgh. That's mostly what I hate about it.

Yea cost sucks but I get it through school and work, I love VS, and what other tool would I want to use to program Windows Forms?

C++ has taken on a whole new level of power in the Visual Studio suite with all the new .NET managed code stuff. I'm an old-school C/C++ programmer and I learned Windows programming on WinAPI and MFC... I'm just moving to .NET-managed stuff in the VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 environment and I love it so far.
I can't imagine what it would be like walking into programming at this point though... talk about a muddled mess... I do like the new enhancements they made to the language though.

I cringe at the thought of MFC, I hated learning and doing MFC in school it was horrible, I thank God for managed c++ and the new C# windows forms.

MFC wasn't all that bad to learn back then...
