WOOH! WOOH!

Great productivity tool. Great tool for learning the BCL for sure. By any chance, you guys integrate MSDN Help into this tool?

Please try to focus in the next videos! I don't mind all the obliquous plans on the cam, pointing to nowhere and left the code on the side and jump on to it fast... I realy don't care and I do love the amateur style of channel 9 (honest!) but focus is the main aspect of any video. This video has alot of un-focus scenes... I stoped at 20%. Can't handle it. Sorry.

One does not thank logic

Ahhhh, the seeds of Reflection bear many useful fruits...

If the synchrony between Class Designer and Code is truly harmonious, this could indeed be a powerful step in the direction of 'codeless' rapid prototyping, especially when refactoring the entire architecture.

It's great to see generic support as well and as the static case becomes complete one naturally wonders about visualizing the runtime, particularly as the static boxes shift and morph due to late-binding.

Could the next stage be a Class Visualizer Animation thats provides a snapshot of the object states during debug?

Adelino: Yeah, I'm slightly embarrassed myself. Though I never went to film school this is probably lower than my average for capturing these things on film. I don't have that experience that Scoble has and I went to school as a developer so this is going to take a while to perfect.

There were just soo many cool things to see here. Smiley

Orbit86: There are no changes to the C# language itself. However there are new concepts like Generics, Partial Types, Iterators, Anonymous methods etc. C# Developer Center on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/) is a good place to look for info on C# 2005. You may also want to check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/2005/ for more information.

DuNuNuBatman: Class Designer is available in VS 2005 Beta 1 and on subsequent CTPs. We have added some new features for the upcoming Beta 2 release (and of course the quality will be much higher). Class Designer will be available in all VS editions Standard and above. The class designer team has a team blog - http:\\blogs.msdn.com\classdesigner where you can look for more info, give feedback etc. I also have a blog dedicated mostly for discussing class designer - http:\\blogs.msdn.com\r.ramesh.

if they added new stuff for C# in 2005 and my book is 2003..outdated it sounds like

Yes your book is outdated, but be glad that it is!!! They added so many nice things in .net 2.0, start reading blogs (and channel9 of course!) to get you up to date again!

By the way, the 2003 version DOES HAVE windows forms, and so does the original 2002 version...
