I wonder how IBM revealed how my brain works (hint: it does not most of the time)...

A few months ago we announced the availability of the .NET Framework 4.5.2, a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET 4.x family (.NET 4, 4.5, and 4.5.1). The .NET Framework 4.5.2 was released only a few short months after the release of .NET 4.5.1 and gives you the benefits of the greater stability, reliability, security and performance without any action beyond installing the .NET 4.5.2 update i.e., there is no need to recompile your application to get these benefits. "Beginning January 12, 2016 only .NET Framework 4.5.2 will continue receiving technical support and security updates."

Quibble. Only 4.0, 4.5 and 4.5.1 are getting the plug pulled. Unlike with IE, 3.5 still has OS lifetime duration support.

I do have on question not quite answered in their FAQ though:
Quote: Will I need to recompile/rebuild my applications to make use of .NET 4.5.2?
No, .NET 4.5.2 is a compatible, in-place update on top of .NET 4, .NET 4.5, and .NET 4.5.1. This means that applications built to target any of these previous .NET 4.x versions will continue running on .NET 4.5.2 without change. No recompiling of apps is necessary.
Currently, if I build a 4.0 app my app.config file is created with the following line:
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
Will this line need to be changed to 4.5(.2?) to continue to work on systems that only have the newest version?

Nope. If memory serves, the only reason for that tag is to tell the CLR that it needs the full 4.0 framework, as opposed to the "Client Profile".
Since 4.5 is an in-place replacement for 4.0, telling it "4.0" really means "Whatever 4.x version is installed"

That's specifying the CLR version that's required, not the Framework version. .NET 4.0 and all 4.5 variants all use CLR version 4.0.
.NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 all use CLR 2.0.

Browse your source code repositories, share, discuss and review code that you and your team create. All your repositories are belong to them?
Hmm. No TFS support?

Probably because its so darn expensive almost no-one uses it.
I know they have versions available for free for a small number of dev's, but that would make it very expensive suddenly once your team expands beyond a certain threshold. And with very good free alternatives available...

Microsoft's Bing search engine has a long way to go to dethrone Google and while this will not happen overnight, by pushing out updates at a consistent rate, the company is finding new ways to compete with the juggernaut. To build on its feature set, Bing has been pushing out a plethora of updates over the past year for both consumers and developers. Need codez plz!
|
|
|
|

Yeah tech searches on Bing are always annoying. I always find better links (probably stupid SO) on Google.
|
|
|
|
|
Have you tried Bing's video search, it's rather excellent...

I usually just skip the middle man and go straight to youtube.
Hmm. That is pretty shiny. Thank you. I really do need to try one week on Bing one of these days.

In 1994, among the reasons Microsoft started a website was to put its growing Knowledge Base online. At the time, the company managed support forums for customers on CompuServe, one of the earliest major Internet dial-up service providers. Where do you want to go 20 years ago?
Edit: Oh, and I love looking back on the changes to a particular orange website[^]

Over the last few years, consumers and enterprise employees are using more devices than before which run different operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8. As a result developing apps for different platforms is almost a requirement now. With the release of the .NET Portability Analyzer extension we are integrating the ability to reason about portability of your existing code into your development environment. Those platforms being Windows... Windows, and, uhm, Windows?
Yes, yes. Windows Phone. And Mono. Whatevs. I don't exist, so complain to someone that does.

|
|
|

You're forgetting of course that Mono has itself been ported to other platforms than Linux too.
(This isn't a complaint).

The year 1999 may have been the apex of the dot-com bubble euphoria, but it wasn't the heyday of Web developers. At least, not according to U.S. state and federal Occupational Employment Statistics, which didn't even register that "Web developer" was a real job. So... I _am_ just a figment of Chris' imagination?

Microsoft announced today that it's dropping support, including security updates, for older Internet Explorer versions. The changes, which take effect in 18 months, are meant to push the vast Windows installed base to Internet Explorer 11. Bad news for those waiting for that IE8 patch

Google has tweaked its search engine algorithms to ensure websites that use HTTPS encryption rank higher in search results. Time to fork out for that certificate
