• Nicolas Louis Evaluant Recommended installation order for development tools

  Hi, I'm looking for the URL (MSDN) where it says in which order I should install all my development tools ( Visual Studio .NET 2005 Professional, IIS 5.1/6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional etc. ) and what things to avoid. The best thing MS could do is to make a doc (a Walkthrough) for each of the OS's that support VS2005 and IIS and publish it on MSDN. There are so many things that can go wrong. Thanks, ZAiNT ...Show All

• arvestal Breaking change in RC C# compilation

  In all versions of the IDE prior to VS8 RC C# build employed interfaces provided by cscomp.dll shipped with .NET framework. Our company uses internal tool that integrates VERY smoothly as preprocessor into the build process by thunking interfaces in cscomp.dll.

• G4Danny Locbaml doesn't work

  Wrote a XAML application very similiar to the sample from the devx website (and the same way as in the SDK). Used the locbaml tool to extract information. No problem. Got my CSV file. Translated it. Put it back into a new dll. Tried to run the application and it gives an exception saying that it can't find mainwindow.xaml (which is my primary window). Tried all sorts of things, but couldn't get it to work. Only time it worked was when I took the ...Show All

• crazycretan Signing a delay-signed assembly

  In our current build process, assemblies are delay-signed during the initial build.  All developers have the public keyfile (via source control) in order to make this possible.  This results in partially signed assemblies whenever a compile is done on a developer's workstation (which is ok because developer machines also bypass strong name validation for our public key). On the build server, an additional task is performed (we current ...Show All
