There's going to be more features added, but it's going to be 100% backwards compatible. .net 2.0 framework isn't due out till later in 2005. Beta 1 is coming soon.

0 Patrick_ Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 It's only the development environment that costs money Ok, gotcha. Now, T've never programmed (going to start very soon) so, can you actually MAKE an application and run it in the command line, and it will show up with a UI, or no?

Yes, but you will have to create the UI by code instead of in the designer. bwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
