WhidbeyC - Other tidbits

• MSDN Chat
• Q What about refactoring support in the IDE?
• A We are very excited about refactoring. Thats
  all I can really say. J
• Q Will C 2.0 be reported to the ECMA, ISO, ...?
• A Yes. In fact, we have already submitted
  specifications for Generics, Iterators, and
  Partial Classes to ECMA
• Q Is Edit-and-Continue going to happen in C at
  all?
• A EnC is an important scenario for the VB
  customer, but from customer feedback its not
  clear that it is a high priority to our
  customers. We continue to look into it.

So youre thinking what about Windows Forms?

• It is different as programming paradigm and
  prowides a lot more features than the current
  Windows Forms. It should be used instead of
  Windows Forms for native Longhorn apps. I don't
  know what the plans for Windows Forms are, but
  it's quite possible that on Longhorn they will
  lay on top of Avalon to support "legacy" .NET
  programs. I don't think Windows Forms will go
  away though, as they are the managed UI for
  Win2K, XP and Windows Server 2003. And I don't
  know (but i highly doubt) whether Avalon will be
  ported to older platforms. You realize that i've
  already said more than i can, especially
  considering the fact that i am not on the Avalon
  team and the information above may not be totally
  correct, right? -) (Put standard disclaimer
  here...)
