I just posted an update at the usual URL

http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe

(Or use F11 to elevate)

The optional JAWS scripts for EdSharp have also been updated, so you may wish to check that option at the end of installation if you are using JAWS.

Please let me know if you encounter problems with the following enhancements.

EdSharp now uses the latest version of the .NET Framework available, trying version 4, 3.5, 3.0, and then 2.0.

If you choose the C# or VB.NET compiler with Control+Shift+F5, then compiling with Control+F5 uses the latest command-line compiler available. So, you can use C# 4.0 syntax, for example, as in the fruit basket example below.

A new command is called Format Code, Control+4. It arranges indentation and other stylistic conventions of C-like languages, using the Uncrustify utility from

http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/
