Whidbey Support

[Rob Lorimer]

I know I can't expect much support for a beta but I'm struggling to find a
community that is discussing shared addins for Whidbey.

I've been using it since it was released and love generics, in fact I've
written extensive code targeting framework2.0 features ... this helps the
microsoft development team when I find bugs, but where do I get support for
myself?

Should I continue to post VS2005 questions here as this will utimately be
where its addins will be discussed when it's finally released? Maybe my
questions at this 'early' stage will help others?

Does anyone know how to get on the beta program? ie receive builds later
than beta 1? ie CTP?

Hi

For CTP issue, you may take a look at the link below.
http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronbrethorst/archive/2004/10/19/244815.aspx

Also since VS.NET 2005(Whidbey) has not been released, so far for Whidbey
issue, we have a definitely newsgroup about Whidbey.

Welcome to the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Newsgroups
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&slcid=us

Or post in the newsgroup below.
microsoft.beta.whidbey.*

Thanks for your understanding!

The CTP link takes you to the latest CTP, not the October version.
The October version has the VS2005 links whereas the current CTP only has
express versions!

No one has replied to any of my questions at the Visual Studio 2005
Newsgroups!
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=whidbey&slcid=us

The new forum site seems more worthwhile

I'm trying my questions there

Hi

BTW: since the Whidbey is still in beta test, it is not official supported
so far and the newsgroup is not monitored by other now.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
