• Visual Studio Team System Team system and MS Project

  Do you need to have MS Project installed to use the report features of Team System In the last beta it didn't seem like it was this neccesary to have MS Project installed, but now it seems I can't get most reports because I don't have MS Project.

• Windows Forms How to disable "Ctrl-Tab" navigating between MDIChildren

  Hi. I've tried to find an answer for this, but i think the terms are too general. I'm developing a windows app that uses MDI. We've created our own (simple) framework wherein the forms are navigated through a tabcontrol, i.e. tabbed forms. An unexpected bonus of the MDI was that the user can switch between the open forms with "Ctrl-Tab" and "Ctrl-Shift-Tab", and i respond the the "Deactivate" and "Acti ...Show All
