0 anog Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 This is free cause it's a beta. the final might not be free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sn1p3t Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 What ever it is it is free and it is really good looks professional. Finally we get something for free. It's not free. Just the Beta is free. But the full version will be dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 apoc_xp Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Just because M$ is making something available for free to the public, doesn't mean that it's the final product, or that the final product will be free. I guess people are having a difficult time grasping that concept. They're shell-shocked! I am too! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prince21 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Who cares man the beta version is working excellent for me no bugs so far the final one must have something very extra as to me this beta version is like the final one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should still avoid releasing bits based on a beta version of the framework. You never know what's going to end up breaking on the way to the final.

0 Sn1p3t Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 And BTW: ASP.net 2.0 in Beta 1 status has only about 75% of the features implemented. There's more to come! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sn1p3t Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Head over to Windows Update and download BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Services). You need it for the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Large Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 This is great for testing what new things Microsoft have up their sleeves, but you can't really make any programs and distribute them until version 2.0 of the .Net framework is made public on the Windows Update website. Its great for building programs for your own use though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Winston Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 It's very nice both VB and C#, they've improved on it alot, and it looks like they're trying to make code look as simple as possible, help files are nice as well, it's very clear and succinct.

0 Cody Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 if we develop something in this, for anyone else to use it they are going to have to have the 2.0 framework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Winston Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 if we develop something in this, for anyone else to use it they are going to have to have the 2.0 framework? Yep... .NET Framework 2.0 is required, I don't think this supports compiling to a specific framework version, but wow i just discovered you can configure the options to compile to different CPU platforms, sweet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Large Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Beta 2 will have a Go Live licence, meaning you are allowed to distribute your applications commercially.

0 Prince21 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Well i think the net package should be in the next service pack so everyone has it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in beta.But how can we distribute an app to someone that doesn't have the .Net 2.0 Framework installed ? Commerically, you can't legally. If it's just for private use, get them to download and install just the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
