.Net Framework 3.5

[RFH Reseller: davidbending]

Microsofot have announced that .Net framework 3.5 (and VS2008) will be released by the end of November.

When can we expect Framework 3.5 support at RedFox?

I can't answer for RFH, but given the fact that many people are already developing with VS 2008 and .Net v3.5 I would expect RFH to add the v3.5 Framework quite quickly.

Personally I don't think VS 2008 is going to be ready by the end of November as the last Beta still had a lot of things outstanding, but then again I have been wrong in the past.

Yep, we will get .NET 3.5 installed shortly after its release.

That's great news! VS2008 was released earlier today - I'm installing it as I type

Apart from speed improvements + LINQ is there much to be excited?

[RFH Reseller: davidbending]

A lot of the stuff that was bolted-on to VS 2005 like AJAX support is now properly integrated. There's also the WCF and Workflow and WPF built-in.

It should also be better for writing Silverlight apps, although the Silverlight add-in has yet to be released.

Is there an ETA for installing the framework on RF now?

Will be done at or before the weekend.

Warren, you're a star.

That's great news, just need to get on to some suppliers now so I can get a brand new system to get the most out off things (I'm still running Windows XP).

Hmmmm, guess I'll start another thread about what I should get

Any news on this Warren?

P.S. When did the "run html files as" functionality get added? Which is a great addition by the way
