Visual Studio 2005
Published 2.01.2006 by ~mattg
One thing I’m convinced about: keeping up with technology always pays off for a company in the long run. The application that I maintained at C1 was in VB6 (and probably still is). Most of what I maintained at Commersel was ASP/VBScript
Here, well, it’s a completely different story. When I started, the application was built in Visual Studio .NET 2003. We recently hit a HUGE release deadline, and about a day after that code was finalized, the senior developers began converting the code to Visual Studio 2005.
Now, the app is VC++, and most of the libraries used in VC++ haven’t changed. However, the managed to unmanaged boundaries have changed, and since our middle tier is in C#, all of that code had to changed.
But that is done, and as of Monday, the code built without too many warnings. That was until I started working on the web stuff. Both were in ASP.NET, which has made some big leaps between 1.1 to 2.0. And it is my job, in the next month, to do all the conversion, update all the controls, and fix all the bugs from 3 months ago. So I really won’t have much to do
