• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF config schemas not updated in Feb 2006 CTP

  Hi, On all my installations of WinFX Feb 2006 CTP VS Extensions ('Orcas') the main WCF config schema is not updated.

We’re working on fixing it soon, certainly for the Beta2 release. -Thank you Madhu ...Show All

Once a projct is converted, there's no going back: you either work it in 2003 or 2005. But there is a difference between 'development' and 'production' (or deployment). Are you saying your developers or deevelopment team don't have 2005, or are you saying the machines that you wil deploy the application to doesn't have the .NET 2.0 Framework If it is the second case, it's fairly trivial ...Show All
