• Taylorrod Lambdas and type/variable checking

  I would like to use lambdas with a custom object model.  The lambda would be turned into a parse tree and I would execute that against my application object model, much like DLINQ or XLINQ are able to do so.  This requires that somehow the compiler know what are valid properties, operators, types, variables, etc in the expression.  How is this accomplished   Will this be available to the end-user of LINQ.  This would mak ...Show All

  I have the RTM of VS2005. I can do a search either on the web or locally, but I have no table of contents or index. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to fix this.

  Hi, I'm new to Visual SourceSafe and have some questions about the copy-modify-merge work style. In this model what is the whole purpose of checking out as opposed to just getting the files Is it just to signal what files must be checked in later In that case why do you need to be connected to the database in order to perform a check out In particular when I try to check out a file in Visual Studio 2005 (with SourceSafe 2005) while I'm off ...Show All
