3.0 CTP and .NET 3.0/3.5 features

    3.0 CTP and .NET 3.0/3.5 features

    Reply Quote
    In the XNA 3.0 CTP ReadMe, it mentions that : "not all features new to the .NET Framework 3.5 are supported in the preview version.", but it is not clear which features are available, and whether all features will be supported in the final version.

    Is there an official word on this? I know that for now, everything I tested works on Windows : LINQ, Lambda Expressions, Auto-Implemented Properties and Extension Methods. But I know that the Compact Framework limitations do not allow all of these to be supported on Xbox... Or is it a temporary "preview" limitation?

    Thanks for any details,

    Renaud

    The CTP isn't available on Xbox at all, so none of the C# 3.0 features are available there yet!

    As for Windows and Zune, the reason we haven't given more detailed guidance is that we don't know for sure. C# 3.0 support was not a major goal for the CTP, so we didn't spend any time investigating or testing this stuff.

    We hope to have full support in the final 3.0 release.

    From what I've found, you can use all C# 3.0 and .NET 3.5 features on Windows. That's sort of a given, though. On the Zune you can use implicitly typed local variables, object/collection initializers, and auto-implemented properties because all of those are just compiler tricks. Extension methods I haven't tested, though I believe I was told they don't work on the Zune at this point. But if you test it out and it works, let me know.

    I wrote some blog posts covering those that you can find here: http://www.ziggyware.com/news.php?readmore=726.

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that LINQ To XML was supported in the 3.0 CTP when targetting the Zune.

    I can't find that article anymore and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with LINQ yet.
