Hmm, it looks closer and closer to perl. :-)
I've seen constructs like:
var btnAdd = new Button {Text = "&Add", Parent = tlp};
Isn't possible in .net 2.0 to do this?
Anyway, I think in .net 2.0 is not possible to not define the type of
vars...
I think the biggest advantages is that it is not needed to specify the types
of vars, and now it allows that hash-style of calling the methods with
parameters, that's also great.
The accessibility of WinForms is not so good though.
I've tried with Jaws 6 and 8, and with Jaws 6 after deleting the fruit from
the list using alt+D, Jaws still thought that the fruit is there on the list
if it was the latest fruit.
With Jaws 8 is a little bit worse because if there is nothing on the list,
it doesn't say anything when pressing Insert+tab. At least Jaws 6 says that
the focus is on a list box...
Does anyone know if VS.net 2008 is accessible?

Subject: Minimalist fruit basket program in C# 3.0
From the archive at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/cs3_fruit.zip
This fruit basket program is written in C# 3.0: a language update
officially released by Microsoft along with the .NET Framework 3.5 and
Visual Studio 2008. Visual C# 2008 Express is a free download that
includes the new .NET Framework and SDK.
The archive includes a batch file, compile.bat, which invokes the
command-line compiler to create an executable, cs3_fruit.exe, which is
about 6K in size. No other files are needed to run the program -- as long
as .NET 3.5 is installed.
Language enhancements to C# 3.0 include functional and dynamic programming
constructs, in-line data queries, inferred typing of local variables, and
property initialization when calling an object constructor. A technical
overview is at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb308966.aspx
This program uses new language features to be minimalist in the code
required to meet the fruit basket specification at
http://FruitBasketDemo.AlacornComputer.com
No variable types are explicitly declared, each control is specified in a
single statement, and lambda expressions are used for event handlers. The
included source code is also pasted below.
