• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) VB9 Object Initializers and Parameterized Constructors?

  In VB 9 how will the use of an object initializer work if the only public constructors are parameterized constructors, that is if the basic constructor's modifier prevents its use In the current LINQ CTP (May 2006) we disallow this case to simplify implementation. However the design is still under consideration - so keep a look out for new updates. Ting Liang ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista UI lacks of Transitions, Fades and some other things

  I like Windows Vista very much, but when i compare the current December CTP [of which I am beta tester] with a Mac OS X Tiger video found on the apple homepage, Vista falls behind in some areas.

In Vista, except of the window minimize to taskbar, maximize from taskbar, window open and window close effects, there are none noticabl ...Show All

• Visual J# Rebuild Issue with Object Test Bench

  I am able to create an instance of a class in the Object Test Bench.  But everytime I attempt to invoke a method (even an empty void method) of the class, the tool asks me to rebuild it, after which it resets the class and does not execute the method.  It does this even though I have not modified the code in any way.  I try to execute the method right after I create the instance. This seems to happen if you have multiple projec ...Show All
