Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
S. Somaseger, corporate vice president of the Developer
Division at Microsoft Corporation, states in his blog that Edit & Continue
will be added to C#. This is great information since this was not expected in
2005’s version of Visual Studio. DevX has posted more on this at:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,16lb,1,3zq1,adyq,jorm,i5r0
It had already been stated that Visual Basic would
include Edit & Continue. In fact, this is one of the points I mention in the
recent article I posted called “When They Rip It from My Cold, Dead Fingers”. In
this article I present some of the discussion from VBForums in regard to reasons
for sticking with VB 6. I also provide some feedback based on conversations I
had with members of the VB and Visual Studio teams at Microsoft. You an find the article on CodeGuru at:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,16lb,1,coz8,fk13,jorm,i5r0
As always, I appreciate any feedback. I know that most
of the people who post article on CodeGuru also appreciate any feedback you might care to provide on their article as well.
Until next week!
Brad!
