    This is a great addition to the VS environment - don't forget the x64 development community in your work.

    Dasher, thank you for the comment. You can find more information about the x64 (and IA64) work we've done for Visual Studio so far at http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/search.aspx?q=x64.

    Having to wait till Q3 for VS 2005 SP1 is a long time to deal with some extremely bad bugs in Visual Studio. I hope some hotfixes come out shortly for the VB background compiler crash problem as well as debugging issues that are prevelant.

    Good day,

    We have developed in house a software for internal usage using Oracle forms 6.0.8.22.1 and which is connected to a back-end oracle 9i database . We are using Oracle report builder 6.0.8.22.0 for reporting. We want to move to .Net technology and standardize our application and to be implemented in our branches. What front-end .Net tool and reporting one do you recommend and what is the recommended platform to be run on? Appreciate your support

    I have a major problem with VS 2005. I have a Vb application that was originally written in VS 7.1 and migrated to VS 8.0.5. It has WinForm with a TabControl. Each Tab provide a full screen page with other WinForm Controls on it like Command Buttons, Labels, Radio Buttons and the like. Periodically the Tab Pages will appear in Design mode but all of the WinForm Control on the Tab Page are not visible. They are not deleted, just not visible. The Visible property is still set to true, but I can not see the controls. If I use the Properties page to select a control, an empty select rectangle will show up. The only way to get the control back is to exit VS and restart it. It is difficult to work with the forms without the control Visble. What is happening? Why do the controls dissapear? How do I fix this?

    I think this portal is a GREAT idea and look forward to announcements regarding bug fixes, etc. I think if we would have had this with previous IDE releases it would have made finding fixes and updates much easier than having to Google and dig through waves of KB's, etc...

    to Kristof and Andy Maggs,
    as regards to performance, I am using Visual Studio 2005 with SQL 2005 Developer Edition on a 2 year old desktop. Desktop didn't perform well until I gave it over 2GB ram. Is there a connection?

    Please, please can you release a hotfix for the vs2005 VB compiler crash. It is really annoying!

    I would also ask for SP1 sooner than Q3.

    A quicker and more focused release should deal with making Visual Studio 2005 stable. The project template features are a great technology adoption accelerator but has problems.

    By getting project templates working sooner the community could learn/test/harden the rest of .NET that much sooner.

    Also thanks tons for the great 'service status' (servicing) site. It should bond the community and the dev team in a good way.

    Shawnk, what project template features do you think have problems and what are the problems? I'd like to see if I can help sort them out.

    I've just been looking for a KB article on the VB 2005 compiler problems and can't find it. Is it that you aren't aware of the problem, or just haven't issued a KB article yet?

    When can we expect a hotfix for this problem?

    [Background: I'm using mixed VB and C# for a large-ish project using WinForms. Relatively often I get a crash dialog informing me that the vb compiler has faulted and I should restart VS. When this happens it often causes a cascade of errors that can take as much as 2 minutes to cancel my way through. Restarting does help in the short term.]

    Hello,

    Some of the bugs you are interested in seeing fixed may be on the MSDN Product Feedback Center (PFC) (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/).  We will announce which product feedback center bugs are included in Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 through each bug’s PFC description.  You will see comments arrive as we mark bugs for inclusion.  You can receive a notification about the inclusion of a specific bug by adding it to your tracking list.  To add a bug to your tracking list, search for it in the product feedback center and then click ‘Add’ beneath ‘My Tracking List’.  Please continue to give feedback as we are returning to the bugs and suggestions throughout the construction of this service pack and the next versions of Visual Studio and .NET.

    -Keen, PM - Product Feedback Center

    I am having a great deal of problems installing my new MS Visual Studio 2005.  Every time I try to do it, it comes up with the following: could not start the installer...and...could not start Visual Studios 2005. Then, it throws me to the error (I think its 1603) and asks me if I want to report it.

    I really need Visual Studio. Please help.

    Whats the deal with VS2005 seeming to just stop everything for a few seconds.  It seems to happen all the time especially when switching between toolboxes.  The larger the project, the worse the problem is.  Any hotfixes on the horizon for this?

    i'm not sure if it's the right place to post my problem.

    After installing VS 2005 BetaVersion, i'm unable to open the program, it tells me

    "The beta period has expired. Thank you for participanting in our beta program.
    You can now safely remove Microsoft Development Environment from your computer"

    I haven't even use the program nor install it on other machine before. If there's a expiry date, it should have alarmed me during the long installation.

    Any clues? Thanks.

    Faith,

    The release version has been out since 11/7, and I believe all beta versions expired as of 1/1/2006.  You can get new trial versions here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/trial/

    We encourage all interested parties to sign up to participate in the Beta.  You will have the opportunity to use our pre-release product and notify us of any bugs you may discover.  You may apply for the Beta by going to http://connect.microsoft.com and signing up under “Available Programs”.

    Release Schedule:    (these are estimated dates)
    Beta Release        3/24/2006
    RTM                        6/1/2006

    Please, I will like to send this to express my appreciation for the nice and the great step by step info about your Visual Studio Software. Your explanation has helped me a lot for the computer Science course I am taking.

    I will like to know how I can download MS Visual Studio .Net Multi-language Compiler 2005, and MS Visual Studio Mult-language Compiler Version 6.

    Thank you for your corperation.

    Robert, the first thing that I always do when having software problems is to use the web: Do a search on the exact error message(s) I'm seeing. In this case, I don't come up with anything for the error messages that you posted above, but I do find a KB article describing a similar error message "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed." Is this the message you're getting? If so, try KB319624 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319624).

    That said, I really should emphasize that this blog is not a forum for technical support. MSDN Forums (http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn) and Microsoft CSS are outstanding resources for technical questions. Typically, you're first few incidents for each purchased product are no charge when you call Microsoft CSS. Also, the MSDN Product Feedback Center (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback) is a great place for customers to file product bugs.

    Good luck!
    -Blair.

    Thanks for the more precise release date for VS 2003 SP1.

    I am a bit nervous about upgrading to VS 2005 due to all the issues found here and elsewhere on the web. At the same time I appreciate all your hard work and hope that these service packs will address some of the stability issues with Visual Studio.

    There's nothing more frustrating than slow & buggy IDEs.

    Cheers,

    -Daniel.

    It just dawned on me.  With the release of Vista towards the end of this year, what is MS timetable for releasing Orcas (VS 2007 presumably)?  I know most of the development technologies are available for VS2005 in the form of CTP's, but I am curious as to potential release timetables for new VS.

    Thanx,

    Robert
