I was having a bit of trouble last night with Atlas.
Here is why.
You will notice on the Atlas site a note saying that the currently available VSI’s for Atlas run only on VS2005 Beta2 right now.
I read that but inferred my own interpretion. My bad. Here’s what you need to know:
Beta2=Beta2
Beta2!=June CTP
Beta2!=July CTP
Beta2!=August CTP
Beta2!=RC Bits distributed at PDC
Hopefully this will save someone else some time.

Ahh – I had such good intentions and lists of sessions to see but ended up talking with lots of people yesterday at TechEd which is such great fun. I also picked up more swag for my lucky user group! After seeing Ray Chen’s 10am session I went to the “big room” where the expo and track lounges are, just for a few minutes in between sessions, but I ended up in there for many many hours. At some point I headed back in the direction of lunch but never quite made it in – too many people to see! [read more, much much more … 🙂 ]

I have been trying to do some of the Atlas Hands on Labs.
First, I tried them on my newly set up Vista machine. I had problems getting the file system (aka ASP.NET Development Web Server – so is that called WADWSF now?). Finally I decided that there is just something WRONG with Vista and the file WADWSF. Even with a simplistic web site that did not involve Atlas, the web server would not consitently start up. I don’t seem to have IIS installed on this box, but Plip has a solution for using IIS on Vista over here (first post, second post).
Next I decided to use my regular laptop (WinXP). Dumb me, I installed the brand spanking new RC bits that I got at PDC, and then discovered that the current Atlas bits only work with Beta 2.
Aargh. So tomorrow morning, I’ll just plug my external USB hard drive in which has Beta2 on a VPC.
I am so hoping to give my user group quick looks at Vista, Atlas and LINQ tomorrow night at the VTdotNET meeting.
A tragic hiking accident has stunned the FoxPro community this weekend.

I’m sitting in Raymond Chen’s “5 Things Every Win32 Developer Should Know” talk. Ray is one of those “oh my god” Microsoft big brains, however, his blog has definitely made him feel like an old friend.
Ray is talking to the packed room about being conscientious about your environmnet when you are writing applications – how is your app working with memory paging? [read more …]

Today has been an amazing day at PDC, and a very long one at that.
I think this morning’s keynote was four hours long. I have 16 pages of handrwitten (Tablet PC Journal) notes of this and as so much has happened since [read more …]

This tool is part of the PAG VB6 to VB.NET Migration Guide that is being developed and is on GotDotNet. It is still a work in progress and they will be happy to have people test it out!
Though there is an enormous amount of detail in the report, the most interesting was it’s assessment of man hours and cost to migrate your application. There are caveats on the assessment of course.
The one I tried, which is a big app that has been evolving for 7 years, would take 9 months and cost $86,000.
