• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) System.Windows.Media.Typeface: Symbol property is internal!

  I'd like to be able to determine if a given FontFamily uses a symbol font or not. From a FontFamily, I can get its list of Typefaces.

Reflector tells me there is an internal property of Typeface named Symbol; this appears to be what I want. Why is it internal and not public Is there some other way to do this I real ...Show All

VB2005 is in line with VS2005 so you are more likely to be able to share projects between 2005 versions than 2003 and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF command to switch TFS servers?

  Isn't there a way to connect to a different TFS Server via a TF command Yes we already have multiple TFVC servers. Anyway, it is not real easy to determine which server you are currently working against especially if your Workspace name (machine name in my case) is the same on both servers. And what is the point of tf status having a /server switch when it *always* tells me: Ignoring the /server option. That's very annoying since I really ...Show All
