We all know that "Whidbey" was a codename for Visual Studio 2005. But recently watching some old presentations I found some references to .NET Framework "Whidbey" (probably an interim release) Microsoft planned to release before WinFX.





Does anybody know what`s happened with this prodouct, what .NET Framework version it`s become or was it canceled?

It was just the .Net 1.2 /2.0 beta that Longhorn used. Some of it's technologies went into 2.0 and later 3.0 and 3.5, but as far as I know, the "Whidbey" name was dropped with Longhorn.

Also, an Installer was made available so you could Install .net "Whidbey" on Server 2003 or XP. I have this and I could upload it if you are interested

Btw, It also accompanied Visual Studio "Whidbey" which allowed users to create Longhorn-native applications and sidebar tiles, and SQL Server "Yukon" which could be used in conjunction with the Visual Studio.

No, thank you . I just wanted to know what this .NET "Whidbey" is. Thank you for the explanation.

Whidbey was the codename of the VS2005 and the .net 2.0 framework.

It was bot - the Framework Codename and the VS Codename

Im interested, please upload it!

OK, I am just uploading it now

Its labelled .net 1.2 and its the same .net included in the Longhorn 4051/4053 builds
