• Visual Studio Remove MFC help as default F1-match

  When my cursor is on an SDK api name and I hit F1 to get help on parameters etc, the document system tends to bring up a page matching an MFC method of that name.  For instance, if my cursor is on TrackPopupMenu, and I press F1, the help system shows me CMenu::TrackPopupMenu.  This is simply daft, I don't use MFC in this project, and it makes the help system simply unusable for me, as it forces me every single time to search for the en ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Support of brokered authentication to Internet

  Hi I have several services running in internet; the applications using the services have to do a lot of calls to these services. I need authenticate or at least identify to the application doing the calls. I had thought to use a Security Token Service (STS) to avoid validate each request.

  Hi, i need some advice. I have a form which is being filled up with data from a database. Whilst it does this, i want to display another form that i have created as a working/progress bar on the top to show that the program is still working.
