Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Released

Article
07/26/2007

Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 was released to the web for download today. The releases are available both as regular installs and as VPC images. If you choose the regular installation, you should run this script to "ensure that the installation of .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 will not affect the development of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications."

The C# Language Specification Version 3.0 is now available for review.

There are samples and hands on labs available to help you explore this release:

The samples ship with the product. You can find them by choosing Samples from the Help menu. We are, of course, unable to update the samples that ship with Beta 2 after the product as been released. As a result we make the latest versions of the samples available from the link shown above. These links are maintained on the Visual Studio 2008 Samples Download Page.

Additional documents relating to the Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 will be added to this post as they become available.

Where do you get the customers.xml that "LINQ Hands On Labs" says is attached?

Not sure where Customers.xml is, but you can just copy and paste this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Customers> <Customer CustomerID="ALFKI" City="Berlin"/> <Customer CustomerID="BONAP" City="Marseille"/> <Customer CustomerID="CONSH" City="London"/> <Customer CustomerID="EASTC" City="London"/> <Customer CustomerID="FRANS" City="Torino"/> <Customer CustomerID="LONEP" City="Portland"/> <Customer CustomerID="NORTS" City="London"/> <Customer CustomerID="THEBI" City="Portland"/> </Customers>

And here's one with contact names for the "Transforming XML Output" task. You can just ignore my previous post and use this one: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Customers> <Customer CustomerID="ALFKI" City="Berlin" ContactName="Kent"/> <Customer CustomerID="BONAP" City="Marseille" ContactName="Mark"/> <Customer CustomerID="CONSH" City="London" ContactName="Gavin"/> <Customer CustomerID="EASTC" City="London" ContactName="Cherie"/> <Customer CustomerID="FRANS" City="Torino" ContactName="Belinda"/> <Customer CustomerID="LONEP" City="Portland" ContactName="Tempany"/> <Customer CustomerID="NORTS" City="London" ContactName="Melanie"/> <Customer CustomerID="THEBI" City="Portland" ContactName="Kent"/> </Customers>

This a big relief on my family - the gas in my stomach makes a strong pressure, it is not a good thing. I want to be an ice skater in the Olympics!

I've been working with the Hands On Labs for Linq and Orcas beta 2 all afternoon. I can't get the Xml Linq stuff to work. It compiles, it runs, but no results are ever returned. I've confirmed the XDocument is successfully loaded with the Customers.Xml data, but the query never returns any results. I tried breaking it down a little like this, but still no results (see below). Anyone else run into this? Too bad, I'd really like to use this feature. XDocument xd = XDocument.Load(@"c:Customers.xml"); // verified, loading // this didn't work for me IEnumerable<Customer> lc = from c in xd.Descendants("Customers").Descendants() where !(c.Attribute("City").Value.Equals("Portland")) select new Customer { City = c.Attribute("City").Value, CustomerID = c.Attribute("CustomerID").Value }; // lc is always null return lc;

Charlie, I'm debugging the linq hands on lab, the xml stuff. It's all just wrong. page 6, the example should read like this: static IEnumerable<Customer> CreateCustomersFromXml1() { return from c in XDocument.Load("Customers.xml") .Descendants("customers").Descendants("customer") select new Customer { City = c.Element("city").Value, CustomerID = c.Element("id").Value }; } what's wrong?

case of listeral element names in the example is wrong and won't work
id, not CustomerID
.Element("city") and .Element("id") is correct based on the provided xml, not .Attribute("City") and .Attribute("CustomerID")

this works for the XmlQuery() example on page 7 public static void XMLQuery() { var doc = XDocument.Load("Customers.xml"); var results = from c in doc.Descendants("customers").Descendants("customer") where c.Element("city").Value == "London" select c; Console.WriteLine("Results:n"); foreach (var contact in results) Console.WriteLine(contact + "n");

my version of the XmlQuery with transform, that works: var doc = XDocument.Load("Customers.xml"); var results = from c in doc.Descendants("customers").Descendants("customer") where c.Element("city").Value == "London" select c; XElement transformedResults = new XElement("Londoners", from customer in results select new XElement("Contact", new XAttribute("id", customer.Element("id").Value), new XElement("name", customer.Element("name").Value), new XElement("city", customer.Element("city").Value))); Console.WriteLine(transformedResults);

on page 12 of the Linq Hands On Lab LINQ to SQL File should be LINQ to SQL Classes and on page 13 Top Most Extensive Products should be Ten Most Expensive Products

Michael, thank you for these great comments. I'll try to roll them up into a single file and get them incorporated into the document.

Apologies if this has already been caught, but the instructions from number five of exercise four don't make sense: "Recall your query printed out all orders for each customer that lives in London. This time, instead of printing all the orders, print the number of orders per customer." All in all, a really gentle introduction to a formidable topic.
