• Visual Studio Team System MSDN Academic Alliance

  Will TFS be available for universities via the academic alliance program I couldn't find any page with any information on that. Let me also state my opinion on that: I think learning how to organise team development, manage a dev process etc is a key component of any CS education. So, I think you guys should do everything so CS faculties can provide a TFS for all their students so that they learn how to use it. Along that line I believe you sh ...Show All

However, when I use the embeded print button in the report viewer control (in PrintPreview layout mode), the report doesn't fit the 8.5in*11in size printer paper and hence fails to print it. Is there any way to dynamically change th ...Show All

  I have the situation where I think my 3rd-party unmanaged COM object, which has opened a critical system resource, is blocked on a thread or something. In C#, .NET 2.0, I call FinalReleaseComObject() on my object, which returns 0, and then set the varible to null.
