Your Number 1 Feature in .Net 2.0

Published Friday, June 04, 2004 2:34 PM

I attended the Sydney Deep .Net User group meeting last wednessday night and Chuck Sterling of Microsoft (see “Ask Chuck“ column on ZDNet) asked me what my favourite feature in .Net 2.o was. It got me to thinking about what others thought on the subject. So here is an informal poll. Let me know what your absolute favourite feature is in .Net 2.0, and I'll post the results in about a weeks time. You dont have to explain why, (ofcourse you can and that will help me qualify the results) but at least let me know what the most important/favourite feature in .Net 2.0 is for you.

 

We have operators standing by ....

In this order:
No doubt - Generic!!
plug in provider paradigm
ASP.NET, mapping objects to grids

Provider Model is my Favourite.. it saves me a lot of time, even in 1.1 now..

Hmm, everyone seems to like Generics... not a big fan myself, I haven't found anything they do that I don't prefer writing an interface for... but maybe I'm just ignorant :)

Anyway, I found this URL which I think sums it up nicely for me: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/whidbey/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vs2004_intro.asp

Anyway, I think my favorite has got to be the refactoring, ESPECIALLY autocreating properties in C#. I can't even express how tired I am of writing the same stupid block of code a million times. All the other refactoring stuff will be nice too.

Now if only they would add realtime code analysis/error-highlighting and better keyboard shortcuts, I could stop talking about how Eclipse has (some) better features than VS.NET.

...and some kind of checked exception support (ala Java) would be really really nice.

Definitely the new hosting interfaces - they are some much richer than the V1.x interfaces (though generics will probably have more of a beneficial day-to-day impact).
