Hi Shamil For a small project I recalled LightSwitch and wondered if it had moved anywhere. It has, and has even been labeled Go Live. I guess it means some kind of improved level of support. That took me a couple of minutes - and another couple to copy and paste the links and post these here. Then I browsed the development pages a little and people and the team seem quite active. But I still miss the time for testing ... /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 03-04-2011 19:24 >>> Hi Gustav -- How do you manage to find free time to watch for and to even try(?!) Beta releases of MS software? I can't find that free time... Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 3 ?????? 2011 ?. 16:45 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com; dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-VB] Rapid Application Development: LightSwitch Beta 2 Hi all Here is a better, though still brief, introduction to the new beta: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lightswitchgeneral/threads Click at the top under Announcements the topic: Visual Studio LightSwitch Beta 2 Released with Go Live License! <quote> ..
