• Visual Studio Team System "Normalize strings to uppercase" rule

  One of the new rules in 1.32 is the "Normalize strings to uppercase" which tells me to "replace the call to String.ToLower(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) with String.ToUpper(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)".

• Visual Studio Express Editions New to C

  Hello. I was interested in programming in C and of course I bought a book. However the book is a little outdated, so they describe how to use the tools such as the compiler, etc. They teach you how to compile and link everything with Borland and Microsoft Visual C++.
