[Opensim-dev] C# 3.0 vs .Net 2

[Teravus Ovares]

Our issue here isn't mono support :)  Mono has 3.0 support since
1.9.1.   It's our support of Visual Studio 2005 as a build tool.

Visual Studio 2005 is the tool that doesn't understand code in C# 3.0 :).

Visual Studio 2008 will generate a 2.0 assembly from 3.0 code.
Visual Studio 2005 will fail to build.

As far as I really know..   the only reason to support Visual Studio
2005 right now is for people who have Visual Studio 2005 Standard,
Pro, or Team licenses.   Visual Studio 2008 Express is freely
downloadable and available and Mono is quite happy with 3.0 syntax

Sincerely

Teravus
