My test project from Beta1 loads fine in Beta2, but when I try to open a Form in design mode I get the folowing error :
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Microsoft.VisualC.CppParserResources.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Microsoft.VisualC.VSCodeParser" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.
And when I try to compile I get a lot of error from the form.h file like :
------ Build started: Project: Test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...

Is there a special import function to use or some settings to alter. I seams odd that a simple project with a couple of labes and buttons can't be ported.
Best regards.

There has been new changes in the C++/CLI...
Some namespaces have been removed or renamed, newly once are created and the other marked as obsolete...
eg.
stdcli namespace has been removed...
typeid<object> has been replaced with object::typeid
new declaration of dispose function:
virtual void Dispose(Boolean disposing) override
{
if (disposing && components)
{
delete components;
}
__super:
}
And so on...
you'll just have to manually debug the project....

Well, first things first "it is still a beta". Though having a tool or such would be a great relief. I think microsoft is quite busy on focusing on some language enhancements to be able to catch-up on their estimated release date of VS 2005...
In your second question, IMO, yes it (Beta 2) is suited for developement.. but again it is still a beta... I think that's just part of the gamble (in which i would gladly bet)...

Thank You for the help.
I created a new project in Beta2 with some of the same controls and copy/pasted the code to my old project. It worked but would be a nightmare with a large project.
Are the Beta releases not suited for development because of insuficient compability, and wouldn't it be a nice feature with an import possibility
Cheers.
