More Microsoft Madness

2008-06-12 22:58:38.593409+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

In the "things I shouldn't have expected to work in the first place" department, simple Windows Forms apps created with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 will not compile and run properly in Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2005, even though the forms layout and such shows up nicely in the Visual Studio interface.

Oh, and C# on Linux and Mono don't have the "Generic" collections classes (may even be missing templating altogether?), and are also missing may of the Windows Forms controls.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
