But now that the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions have also been
officially released, what are the plans to migrate PowerSDR to .NET
2.0?
I know a lot of folks are always very apprehensive of "the latest
thing from Microsoft" whatever that may be. But having chosen C# as
programming language and .NET as platform for PowerSDR development,
this surely can't be FlexRadio's position.
Visual C#/C++/J#/Basic 2005 Express Editions are available as free
downloads from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/
Note that "free for one year" doesn't mean that these are limited-time
trial versions. The products will keep on working after the one-year
period.
There are other development tools out there, but I think the new
Express Editions would be the obvious choice for many people.
Especially the ones with little or no previous programming experience,
who don't want to spend time figuring out how to use some slightly
incompatible non-MS tool. Or don't want to spend money for a full
version of Visual Studio.
Disclaimer: I still haven't written a single line of .NET managed
code. I have only tested VC++ 2005 with some good old-fashioned
unmanaged C++. Maybe I have to count myself among the "apprehensive
folks" I referred to above!
