• Visual Studio Express Editions cl broken

  Hello,  I'm tring to compile an image processing library (DCMTK) with CMake. CMake performs a check for a functional compiler (cl) and allegedly tries to compiles a test program. This part of the process is failing  - giving me a message  "cl is broken".

  In my class we must use Visual Studio 2003, but I am extremely excited that I have recently got a copy of Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (Microsoft presentation in my city).  I have been told that there is a way to save a project from 2005, and then open it in 2003, but I have been unable to find where this feature is hiding.  Any help is much appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Whidbey FxCop 1.32 ignores certain methods ?

  Does the Whidbey FxCop 1.32 have built in intelligence for ignoring certain methods I ask because I have various rules which check ASP.NET generated assemblies.

This makes me wonder if they are being deliberately excluded. Guy We can chan ...Show All
