Woohoo! Congratulations, Frans. Great job!

Jeff...

Congrats Frans.

I must be honest, i havn't been keeping up with all the requests, changes and new features but i do know that there has been some serious development going on at the office of LLBLGen for the last few months.

Congrats again.

Now let me go and look at the new cool features that you have added.

Thanks guys!

Gooooooooooooo Frans!

Well done and thanks. I can't wait for the version 2 at the end of this year, as I have now started to play with VS2005 BETA 2.

If we start using the new VS.NET 2005 beta, can we expect smooth sailing with the current LLBL

BEta 2 of vs.net is still a beta, so smooth sailing is a subjective thing . BUt it should be relatively painless. The 1.1 runtimes do work ok with the 2.0 code, it has some problems (I still have to reproduce) with webprojects and design time code.. Winforms and design time code is ok.

I will put out a .NET 2.0 native build of the runtime lib code, to avoid problems, perhaps in the next week. I've installed beta 2 this afternoon, and tried some simple winforms databinding thingy and it worked ok.

Though keep in mind that we don't officially support .NET 2.0 yet.

When generating code, please select the generator configs which don't say '2003', so you will be prompted and you then can select vs.net 2005

Great job Frans, and congrats on the release! By any chance will you be attending TechEd this year?

I've subscribed to the ask-the-experts for teched europe, but I'm not sure if I'll be elected. I think you're talking about teched USA, and I won't attend there

Ahh, that's too bad, hehe. I mean c'mon, Disneyworld is in Orlando, man!!

We have one in Paris here too and I haven't been to that one either!

Congrats Frans, this is truely fantastic news. Can't wait to get home now from work

The MS Petshop port is truely amazing and i'm learning tons from that.... I know, I know it's not a good example in showing you how to code a 3-tier app but it's good to see how separated LLBLGen code looks in a 3-tier app.

Geoff.

Thanks Geoff!

Great! Thanks Frans!

Like Wayne - I've been busy with "other stuff" recently - back on ASP for a while But, I am going to get stuck into the new version soon and see just how cool it is

Woo hoo!
