• Visual Basic Easy Ways to use VB.net - Where can I find them?

  I am a Visual Studio.net (Visual Basic) developer and have been using the product for 3 years.  I have long felt that the product is often used in ways that are much more complicated than they need to be.  I am glad to see Express, but to me the best idea is not to try to use the simple version professionally, but to use the professional version simply. I understand there are numerous aids in Express that talk about and show the user ...Show All

• SQL Server Routine crashing of Visual Studio 2005 when running or editing SSIS

  We have found that it is common for Visual Studio 2005 to crash when editing or running SSIS packages -- from CTP versions through beta versions and including the release version. Of course we kept hoping that newer releases would become more stable, or at least more robust -- and now I'm hoping there will be a service pack, which might make it more robust Please consider this the bug report then -- this is all I know -- it very often cra ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visio Enterprise Architect?

• Visual Studio VS.NET 2005 (June) fails to install SQL 2005 Express?

  Hello, Thanks for reviewing my question.  I had VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 installed on my PC and decided to uninstall it (hopefully in order) in order to install the VS.NET 2005 (June CTP).

Does that mean, internally it is implemented as: For each row: begin transaction insert row commit tran ...Show All
