Standard Features:
Web Forms Designer:
- Easily create ASP.NET Web applications with an intuitive and productive visual forms designer. Creating Web-based applications is as easy as dragging and dropping components onto a form, and double-clicking to write code against those components
Windows Forms Designer:
- Use the Windows Forms Designer to design rich, interactive applications that leverage the full functionality of the Windows operating system. Features such as an in-place menu editor, control docking, and control anchoring reduce the number of lines of code required to build first-class user interfaces
Advanced Code Editor:
- An advanced editor provides features such as IntelliSense, code outlining, color syntax highlighting, and bracket matching. There are even editors for working with formats such as HTML and XML, so developers never need to leave the development environment
Improved Features:
Dynamic Help:
- A faster help system automatically provides context-sensitive help as developers write code
IntelliSense statement completion:
- Helps developers write code more efficiently with on-the-fly syntax and error checking. IntelliSense is now available in the Immediate Window and is also available when programming exceptions
IntelliSense statement completion:
- Now contains a "most frequently used list" that automatically highlights the most used properties and methods
IDE Startup time:
- Visual Basic .NET now offers a much more responsive IDE with a significantly reduced startup time
Debugger:
- Improved user interface simplifies obtaining and analyzing data to help track down errors in code
Full Access to the .NET Framework 1.1:
- Take full advantage of the rich functionality found in the .NET Framework, such as support for Web services, advanced string manipulation, hashing, encryption, sorting, HTTP access, and hundreds more classes that can be leveraged to build powerful applications with fewer lines of code. Version 1.1 of the Framework includes enhancements for scalability and performance, IPv6 support, and Oracle and ODBC connectivity
