• Visual Studio Express Editions A lot of code on one form when using tab folders. Any solutions?

  Hi, I am using VB.NET 2005. I have a fairly large program and have broken it up into tab folders. I would like each tab to have a seprate form in order to isolate the code associated with each tab. I notice that the way VB.NET uses tabs, all of the code is on one form which makes finding code segments messy. Is there a way to fix this, or do I have to live with it. I am using modules extensively to reduce the amount of code on the form. Any s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Search Work Items in VSTS

• Visual Studio Team System TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) sometimes throws object reference not set.

  I have a number of custom rules some of which use TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in them. Before 1.35 Beta 1 I would sometimes get the object reference not set exception when I was trying to get a TypeNode for a type defined in one of my assemblies. I worked around this by getting rid of TypeNode.GetTypeNode(Type) in all of these cases. Now that I have 1.35 Beta 1, I am getting the exception on types from Microsoft assemblies. Specifically my rule c ...Show All
