Taking the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 Plunge

I am thinking about installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 on my main machine (which of course has .Net 1.1/VS2003 on it).  I’ve had very good luck with VS2k5b2 on a secondary machine (sans previous versions installed though), to the point that I abhor going back to VS2k3 (VS2k5 is simply beautiful man).  Has anyone run into any issues with this?  I don’t want to get left behind…can’t have you guys knowing more about .Net 2.0 than I do ;-).

	James Avery said: I have been running both and haven't run into any major issues, a couple quirks, but nothing that was show stopping. There are a couple bugs out there for 2k5 but nothing that will mess up your machine (not that I am aware of anyway). August 11, 2005 5:27 PM

One thing to note though is that vs 2005 will take over as the default app for all the file extensions which were once defaulted to vs2003...i.e. .cs, .vb, .config... hasn't really bothered me though.

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
