• TheMattMan Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• Mike Kear Transparency for VS2005 splash screen icon?

  I've gotten my icon to appear on the Whidbey splash screen as described in the help. However, it seems that topic was written for Everett, so some of the information is out of date.

If I use that value in my icon, that color actually shows up and my icon displays perfectly square instead of a diamond shape as I intended. What is the new value I ...Show All
