Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 shipped!
Earlier today, we shipped Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0!
This is by far the best Visual Studio and .NET Framework release that we have ever done. I am very proud to be a part of the team that did a phenomenal job of delivering this fantastic product. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the community and early adopter customers for their incredible help and invaluable contributions in helping us ship the right product.
Later in the day, the final bits will be up on MSDN for our MSDN subscribers around the world to get access to the product.
I am looking forward to the product launch on November 7th and all the subsequent launch events around the world.
Namaste!

To RJL: We’ve reconfirmed that VS2005 RTM works on the latest Vista October CTP (bld# 5231) and is also working on the latest internal builds as well. Previous Vista releases (Beta1 and PDC) still require VS2005 Beta2. We cannot find any issues regarding the “SP2” error you noted; if you could supply more information on this error I will make sure the right folks investigate it.
Thanks!

Soma...congrats to you and all the team members involved in the release of the product. good job done folks....keep it up. hope to see the product in our development environment here and explore the same. One of the requirements that i expect from .NET Framework 2.0 is offering the FTP class for uploading and downloading the files from/to the remote systems. i read on internet somewhere that the FTP class is available in Framework 2.0 version. hope to see the FTP class available with this product.Anonymous

Sorry to rain on your parade guys but...
Having been amazed at how fabulous VS 2002 and 2003 were, I expressed major concerns about this product while using the CTPs and the RC.
My concerns were well founded. It is the most painful Microsoft product since Vizact. We've installed it 3 machines and every around hour the VB compiler fails with a send error report (on different projects!) We then have to sit through 6 or 7 submit reports before it finally drops out of memory with a feeble apology.
Even the CTP didn't do this!
You have implemented some amazing things guys, but when the basics no longer work it kinda makes the whole excersize pretty pointless.Anonymous
November 04, 2005
Hi Nag,
Here's a sample app that ships with V2.0 that demonstrates how to use the FTP class:

You use FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse to do the work.

Hi guys,
Now that we have the final version of VS.NET 2005, my question is can we have VS.NET 2005 installed and safely working along-side VS.NET 2003 that I already have (which is my current production environment)? Has anybody had a rough experience in doing this?
I want to develop some projects in VS.NET 2005 and keep developing some projects in VS.NET 2003. To do this i will need to install both the environments (and the relevant Framework version as well) together in the same production environment.
Is it safe to do this - or should i use the Virutal PC to install VS.NET 2005?
Note: I have the final VS.NET 2005 version (production reelase, not the Betas or RCs), since I am an Universal MSDN subscriber.
Thanks.Anonymous

Core information related to vs.net 2005.
I read so many articles related to vs.net 2005..
But it would be much helpful, if i can get as a download link.
Thanks,

Hi Vasudha,
You can download the Express editions of VS 2005 from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/.

Can you confirm that having VS.NET 2003 and VS.NET 2005 (final release version) together in one production machine is safe.
Thanks.Anonymous
November 19, 2005
Hi .NETUser,
Having VS.NET 2003 and VS 2005 in the same machine is absolutely supported. Having these two reside side-by-side is one of the key configurations that we support.
