Dear ik,

You might make a suggestion or report a bug instead of yelling and
crossposting in these newsgroups.

First, I have been around betas for quite some time and I can understand the
frustration. But, when you play with matches, you risk getting burned. If
you are working with original copies of production code in a beta
environment, you are taking an unnecessary risk. If you want to see what the
new product does, use a copy, then you do not have to worry about removing
things. If you are playing with production code, with no source control or
backup, you are making a mistake.

Second, when you rant about how dumb someone's methodology is, you are more
likely to be greeted with silence than have that person try to help you
through your difficulties. The louder you yell that someone is a jerk, the
less likely you are EVER going to get your problems solved. This is not a
Microsoft thing, but a human nature thing.

Third, if you feel you have a legitimate beef, register and log your
suggestion. It might surprise you to find out that the .NET team actually
read these things. You may find that there are reasons why certain things
are added, other than simply to screw up your code. You may still disagree
with them, but you will know the reasoning.

Fourth, this is a BETA product. BETAs are not the final release. This makes
point three especially germane. Log suggestions, as there is still time to
get changes for some things. If you have a problem, there may be others that
have the same problem. Also, BETA products may already have some changes in
mind.

Fifth, before installing and messing around with a product, especially a
BETA, you should read the readme files. They often contain a wealth of
information about known minefields. In a development product, the help files
are wonderful for understanding what it might do.

You are playing with a BETA, which is playing at your own risk. If you take
your prized breakables into a pre-school class, they will most likely get
broken. Instead of the Ming vase, take a copy.

I must agree with the first post. Add tags in code isn't a good way to do things. There is maybe reasons for that, but modify a source will never be a way to do things. I know that the .net team have goals to meet, but microsoft had this manner to add unwanted tag or informations in source code that are of no use from my point of view.

If the software or platform needs more informtaions on thing just write it down. You know programmers are not nuts. When a language evolve it's normal that it become more complicated to use.

If you don't trust your users, they won,t trust you.
