Is VB.NET Stable??I'm using Version 8, learning the language and writing some
code. It seems every session, especially when programming Crystal Reports, the program stutters and sends a message off to Microsoft. Sometimes I've lost code, other times the system sets off on a build that never finishes. Very time consuming and unproductive. I am alone in this? I like VB.NET but I'm worried about losing important stuff. I don't work with crystal reports, but I have not experienced anything like
these. That's not to say that the IDE doesn't have some bugs, but they're not things that really get in the way of getting things done for me. 99% of the time everything is just fine.

what you call unstable. The forms designer problems alone are enough to doubt the stability of VS 2005. I like the features of VS 2005, and hopefully Microsoft will fix the problem of sometimes having to wait a minute or two when making a trivial code change in a large project (I was on one that was 80,000 lines of code and it was very frustrating). The performance on small projects is very acceptable though, although the designer issues and random forms corruptions are annoying. -- Show quoteHide quoteDavid Anton www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com Instant C#: VB to C# converter Instant VB: C# to VB converter Instant C++: C#/VB to C++ converter Instant Python: VB to Python converter "Robinson" wrote: > VB.NET is VERY stable.

VS 2005 is especially sluggish on large projects. There now much more going
on behind the scenes on every single code change you make. The SP should fix it, but it's in beta right now, so you probably want to wait. -- Show quoteHide quoteDavid Anton www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com Instant C#: VB to C# converter Instant VB: C# to VB converter Instant C++: C#/VB to C++ converter Instant Python: VB to Python converter "Tony Van" wrote: > I'm using Version 8, learning the language and writing some > code. > > It seems every session, especially when programming Crystal > Reports, the program stutters and sends a message off to > Microsoft.

doing forms development, made a simple change to the form and thereafter found I could no longer open the form in design view. I could access the code, but not the form layout. In one case it took me well over a week to recreate the form. Needless to say I was some p... off. This occured most frequently, I thought, when I made changes to the datasets being used by the form without removing the controls bound to the old data first. I consider Vs2005 to be no better than a beta product. In theory the features are fine. In practice its another story. The problem above has not happened lately and I keep my fingers crossed. The configuration file XML format has changed between 2003 and 2005, which is a pain, although I found that you can use the old appsettings - add key tags in 2005 as it was in 2005. You can not save your application change application scope settings, you can more easily change user scope settings. They 'improved' the control over the application by being able to easily add applicationsettings, but its difficut to debug the most important of all, the unhandledexception event. Nonetheless I use it for development because I don't want to be using a product that is near the end of its support lifecycle, hoping that the inevitable service packs will resolve the reliability problems. What I do like is the easier deployment if you write everything in managed code and getting away from dll hell. Also, if you use third party components, make sure to test every single one of them before you commit. I was using a third party telephony component with Vs2005 VB.NET that I ad been using for years in VB6 and found that one of the most important ones in VB net 2005 could not be added to a form and that the next release is not yet scheduled. So I'm up the proverbial creek without a paddle and learned not to assume that because the advertising said it was compatible, it ain't necessarely so. Unfortunately its buyer beware!

in the app.config file appsettings section. VS2005 stopped responding immediately as I hit the save all button. I had o close the app with the task manager. Then when I reopened it, it stopped responding as soon as it loaded the app.config file and stayed stuck with Saving autorecovery information in the status bar. Yeah its reliable all right, reliably unreliable.

and compiler theory has been pretty stable for decades. And since compilers don't directly interact with the human element, writing them is a little easier than writing other programs. Visual Studio, on the other hand, does have some issues, as other posters have alluded to. I have had repeated problems with graphic resources that seemed to have no solution other than deleting and re-adding. Lock-ups do occur sometimes. But it's understandable. Visual Studio is a massively complex application. I wish the service packs would come out on a more regular basis, but even without them, there are workarounds for most of the issues that come up.

Depends, if that trouble is in the bomber area I would not have any problem. In my idea is nobody writting what part of Visual Studio is used, while it is in fact a toolbox with a lot of tools already in it. There is done if all tools have troubles.

favour and give anything that ends in ".NET" a wide berth, every version of this garbage continues to get worse. If you feel you need to move away from VB 6.0 (not a nice thought I know), then you could consider Delphi - a more stable product than any MS offerings.

you'll end up at a TechNet article describing the crash. This article will probably say there is a Hotfix available. Call PSS for Visual Studio and give them the TechNet article id.
