• Visual C++ Dreaded C1902 error... but only through ssh?

  I'm running in to the dreaded C1902 ("Program database mismatch: please check your installation") error, with a twist... it only happens if I try to compile when logged on via ssh. I checked my environment ('env | sort' and 'diff' the output from both ssh'd and local), and then tried sourcing the 'good' environment in my ssh session, so it isn't that. What would cause this error to only show up on a remote login If it matters, I'm usi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why the name "DLinq"?

  Any reason for why it's called "DLinq"   It seems that calling it "RLinq", with the R for Relational, or "SLinq", with the S for SQL, would make more sense. This is true.. However, as you allude, it need not remain so. I think it wouldn't take much to have a pluggable DataContext provider which would contain the logic for determining what to send to the server.  I'm guessing the translation logic is i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Array Help Docs Wrong

  The c# help docs say you can declare an array with an initial value like this: int[] myIntArray2 = new int = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; However this will not compile, you have to use the following method int[] i = new int[2] {1, 2}; I tried to report this through the help docs comment, but could not get it to work. That example is definitely incorrect. Single dimension arrays are initialized using either one of these ...Show All
