.NET v2.0: FTP Classes are now Provided

• What other new classes are there? I heard there is going to be a new toolbar for win forms that has more functionality? Have you had a change to look at that? I see a lot of information about new stuff for asp.net, but what about new windows controls?
  
  
  
  thanks for the great information!

• I haven't really spent any time looking at new Windows features, although I'm sure there are many. I noticed several new namespaces under System.Windows for instance, but I don't have my Whidbey machine with me right now to look them up.
  

• The name FtpWebRequest suggests that its related to ASP.NET. But if I want to use it to ftp files across systems from Windows Forms or Services I could still use this. Right ?
  

• Yes, its in the System.Net namespace, so it doesn't even require a reference to the Web stuff, and it suspect it should work on XP Home as well.
  

• Strange naming. FtpWebRequest?
  

• Hi,using FtpWebRequest class can you write code to connect to remote FTP server and fetch files??????
  

• Yes -- that's what FTP is all about.
  

• hi, do you know when the .net 2.0 will roll out? I need FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse now and I am wondering does it worth to create a version of my own?
  
  
  
  Thanks!

• Late 2004 hopefully. So no time soon.
  

• Damn, I saw your post and was relieved that they were finally adding that so I wouldn't have to create my own. Unfortunately I need it now rather than later, so I'll have to build my own anyways.
