• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Windowless controls for web browser?

  I work for a company that is building a very sophisticated web distributed application that uses a lot of overlapping components.  Most of the app is .asp / thin (meaning it is developed using browser technologies) and that works just fine. However, there are some portions of the app that will require "thicker" technologies to provide the right user experience. I have been struggling to find a way to integrate controls into IE pages such th ...Show All

  I heard from some people from MS that this is the final release of the process guidance (it's labeled build 1.0), but I still got some missing parts on it: - Most of the sample workproducts are absent; - The "views" looks incomplete. I'm missing some description about them, the workstreams are empty and the related material seems inconsistent; - You can find lots of "xxx Brief description..." through the pages; - I'm missing some reports from pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio CallTarget vs MSBuildTask - Am I trying too hard to make this a scripting language?

  Because of these forums, I just discovered the CallTarget task is new in RC1, and I was very happy to see it!  Finally I can take my task that I had defined in another msbuild file and move it back into my main file where it belongs...or so I thought!
