Which version of VS .NET do you use for C

Hello all, we are trying to get an idea of witch version of Visual Studio .NET C# and VB.NET developers are currently using.  Does anyone still use Visual Studio 2002?

What features do you expect from a .NET component?

Thank you for your participation

Definitely VS2005 and .NET 2.0

I'm also not sure if I'm interested in a WinForms toolkit, I would only switch from MFC to WPF, from MFC to WinForms is pointless in my eyes.

Also what is with C++/CLI?

Using VC 6!  We switched over to CodeJock from Infragistics specifically because they stopped supporting their ocx controls...

No, it won't happen here

I would expect a control suite with same functionality of XtremeToolkit to ease porting ! Design time designers would be great !!!

Docking is the most important feature since that is missing in WinForms

Hi,

Visual Studio 6.0

Yes, I'm still using VS2002.

We didn't renew our maintenance because Codejock couldn't make any statement about 64-bits and we desperately need it.

Use VS 2005 to compile in 64 bit.  It will work.

VB 2003 & now using VB 2005

I'm using VS 2005 but I have some strong feelings on this issue. Companies that don't HAVE to use 2005 (for Unicode debugging or something) are wise to stick with 6.0. 2005 was a HUGE step backwards, and ultimately decreases efficiency. Many key features that worked great in 6.0 vanished sometime before 2005 made it out the door and made things much worse.

We are using VB6.0

VC 6

Pure C++ using VS2005

You can do something like this, just make sure the styles folder path is correct:

  Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    Dim skinFolder As String
    skinFolder = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\..\..\..\Styles\"

    SkinFramework.LoadSkin(skinFolder + "Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalAqua.ini")

...
...
...

End Sub

  Private Sub frmMain_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.VisibleChanged
    If Me.Visible Then
      SkinFramework.ApplyWindow(Me.Handle.ToInt32())
      Me.BackColor = SkinFramework.GetColor(XtremeSkinFramework.XTPColorManagerColor.STDCOLOR_BTNFACE)
    End If
  End Sub
