Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
Are you using Visual Studio 2002 or Visual Studio 2003? Do you plan to
migrate to Windows Vista when it releases in a few months? You might want to
reconsider. While the Visual Basic 6 IDE and runtime will be supported on Vista,
Visual Studio 2002 and 2003 will not be.
You heard correctly – Microsoft will not be supporting 2002 and 2003 on
Windows Vista. Rather, you will need Visual Studio 2005, or more importantly,
Visual Studio 2005 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). Not to totally worry, you can use
the 2002 and 2003 versions on Windows XP to create solid Vista applications. The
1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 versions of the .NET framework will be supported on Windows
Vista. However, if you have trouble running Visual Studio 2002 or 2003,
Microsoft support is not there for you.
Granted, if you are going to move to Vista, then you are likely using the
current version of Visual Studio anyway. If not, you should be. Additionally,
you’ll want to apply the Service Pack when it is fully released. The Service
Pack 1 actually released on the Microsoft Connect site today as a beta. If you
want to get a jump on seeing what has changed in this SP, then you can go to http://connect.Microsoft.com/VisualStudio
and register. Be aware that this is a beta and that all the issues are not
resolved.
Microsoft released the beta so people could get a jump on what is coming. The
final product should release soon after Vista releases.
Until next week…
Brad!
