Markus,

One thing to keep in mind here though is that "Everrett" is still in
beta as well as the 1.1 .NET Framework, so this may not be an issue with
RTM.  It would seem short sighted and quite out of sync with the whole
concept of .NET if this was still a problem with RTM.  Nevertheless, I
use QuickCode all the time, and to all those who don't have, go download
it!!: http://quickcode.dvxp.com/

Strongly-Typed Collections

Hi Oren,

It turns out there is an incompatibility in the SOAP serialization of an
ArrayList between the .NET Framwork versions 1.0 and 1.1. To be
precisely,
1.0 uses "version=1" for, 1.1 uses "version=3" and an extra element. And
ArrayLists serialized with 1.0 can NOT be de-serialized with 1.1! (Makes
you wonder where "version=2" went...)

Quite bummer from our point of view - we now have to do some pre- or
postprocessing on the XML produced by the SOAP formatter to preserve
compatibilities between versions and we had hoped SOAP would save us
from
that...

We have posted a message on http://quickcode.dvxp.com/ requesting users
NOT to copy from Visual Studio 7.1 "Everett".

(You know what's funny? We abandoned the 'internal' XML-format we use to
write the QuickCode list on the local PC in favor of the 'portable' SOAP
format to cut and paste, mainly for the forum, anticipating a web
service,
of course. Now it turns out our internal XML format doesn't suffer from
the versioning problems! What was it again? Don't plan for the future?)

Sorry if this caused you guys trouble - but we're glad we spotted the
problem before 7.1 is rolled out big time!
