I installed Orcas Beta 1 Professional on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit machine. When it was completed installing, I ran it. It started fine, and then I created a new WinForms application project, which succeeded. When I try to view the form designer for Form1, I get the following error: Microsoft ...
I know what the usual policy is with respect to redistributing applications using a beta version of one of the compilers, and ordinarily I wouldn't even broach this subject. However, because Orcas can target .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 I'm going to ask... If I want to use Orcas to develop a .NET ...
Hi, I am testing Visual Studio Orcas (WEB express for the moment, because I am not an MSDN subscriber), and I would like to send feedback and submit bugs (the first thing that appears to me, is that System.Web.Extensions assembly does not appear in the Object Browser). Where can I send my ...

Hello, Just watching the Channel 9 video with Soma. He mentioned how he is really excited about Multi-Targeting, and I have to say - so am I. For this version its great because it supports all the versions of the framework currently released, however what happens with .Net 4.0? It must be on ...
Hey Orcas folks!My Orcas install went great and all seems to be working right.What is troubling me greatly though is Add Reference Dialog in the macro IDE which after installing on two different PCs remains empty not allowing the addition of any refs whatsoever. This is extremely limiting when ...

Running Orcas Mar CTP under Win XP on vpc 2007. When output window is set to auto-hide mode and re-start Visual studio, toolbar on the output window will disappear. The auto hide mode has to be disabled to bring back the toolbar. For Visual studio 2005, the toolbar seems to be always visible. ...
Is Orcas going to allow for referencing Master pages and User Controls in multi-project web apps? Or, will you still have to use the workarounds presented in this blog entry: http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2006/08/15/701642.aspx Thanks, BOb BTW: I didn't see an ASP.Net section ...
Will Orcas be a native 64-bit app... and/or have a 64-Bit version. My plan is to get a 64-bit, 4 core, 4gb RAM machine Christmas 2007 and I would love to run 64-bit apps (dev tools) exclusively at that time. Thanks, BOb

Out of curiosity, has anyone installed the March CTP, and found it to be alot more quicker and responsive than both January and Visual Studio 2005 in general? I was pleasantly surprised... now if only they get the project property pages fixed! Chris
I am attempting to upgrade a solution I created with the May 06 CTP of LINQ so I can use it with the Orcas March 2007 CTP. I had made some use of the AJAX Control Toolkit 1.0 and it was giving me some problems because of differing versions of referenced assemblies. I have tried to re-compile ...

Can anyone seem to add user controls (WPF) to a window? They dont show up in the toolbox and all I see is a single "UserControls" item which cannot be added either. Currently I have to edit the XAML or use Blend (which has its own issues with Orcas files)
There are several issues with SLN and .cs files made in Orcas to use in Blend. I realize why some of these chagnes are made, but the changes will also require a Blend update to work which seems like a bad idea. Is this known and intentional?
add new item, Custom Control (WPF) An error appears about a module not being trusted and to consult a "Customizing project templates" in the help, which does not exist that I can find. Is this feature not functional yet?
