• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF vs Pipelines and Filters

  I need to develop a system which uses ideas similar to Martin Fowlers' Pipelines and Filters pattern in his Enterprise Integration book, where a filter enriches messages from other sources. Is this pattern still feasible with WCF Does a pipeline represent a WCF channel I'm not sure how the main building blocks of WCF map to that pattern Where to the Endpoints fit Where do Bindings fit Channels, etc. How would I implement multiple pipelines ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Compiler Optimization Discussion

    There's been something percolating in the back of my mind. I come from a computing environment that preceeded windows and the Intel Architecture and instruction set. n comparison to the instruction set that i'm used to, the Intell instruction set looks like a house wreck which may or may not be important to the discussion at hand. Everyone knows that moderators agree on everything and that in moderator space we just stand in love ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) App sample

  Is there a Winforms sample (i.e. more then Console.WriteLine statements), using the objects or projecting into business objects or something and how they lay that out and maintain client object state TIA.

• Visual Studio How to get the build order via an EnvDTE API?

  I have an addin that needs to know the build order as it is listed in the VS Solution|Project Build Order dialog. While analysing the dependencies for the projects is great (and works for projects that have an expressed dependency), I found that the project build order for unrelated projects is fixed (and frequently relied upon by solutions), but as far as I can tell there is no way to figure that order out programatically. The build order ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Generic Test does not seem to deploy the exe

  I seem to be missing something simple here, I guess. The help states that the exe being run by the generic test will be copied to the deployment directory. This is not happening. Even if I add it to the "additional files" list, in effect forcing it to be copied, it is not run from this directory. This matters a great deal to me because I am trying to use a Generic Test to run my GUI to produce Code Coverage results. So I need the test ...Show All
