  With the prior version (also called Beta 2) of VSS 8.0, an analyze using the usual V6.0 options (-f -c -d) took 5 hours.  Now it takes over 12, and results in thousands more errors and bad files.  There appear to be many new options available in this version.

• Architecture Databinding vs Multi-tier

  I'm a bit confused - see if you can help me out. It seems like microsoft is really big on the multi-tiered approach to development(presentation, business, data), but now, with visual studio 2005, they're also really pushing the new and improved typed dataset for databinding.

• Visual Studio Ruby Plug-In ?

    Ihave been really impressed with Managed code (C#) and Visual Studio over the last couple of years. But I am now pretty impressed by Ruby (and the RAILS Web fraemwork) Unfortunately the best Editors and few IDEs for Ruby seem to be weak  Java implementations, not a patch on the Visual Studio experience.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. TextureLoader gone? Alternatives?

  Hi, I'm new with DirectX and I'm starting with the December 2005 SDK.  It seems like almost every tutorial or sample I've run into uses TextureLoader to retrieve textures.  From what I've seen, and I've looked pretty hard, TextureLoader doesn't exist in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D anymore contrary to any documentation that I can find. Well, instead I've been using Texture.FromBitmap to load textures, which I guess is okay... But I can't ...Show All
