• jrmoto Connect feedback site

  Since yesterday night the Connect site has the new Visual Studio version so we can now use it to provide feedback. However afaik there's no quick way to find feedbacks only for Visual Studio for DB Pros, I suggest we use a convention in the title, something like "problem bla bla bla in VSTE4DBPros " so before entering something we can quickly see all problems related only to this version.
