• Visual Studio Express Editions Controls are shifted back without me doing anything

  Hi, I've got a tablelayout and a couple of controls anchored inside. In particular, I have a label anchored top-left, and 3 combo boxes Docked to 'Fill'. Now, whenever I run/debug my program it looks good, but after finish the debug session (close it down) and C# Express returns to the Form Design window, all of these aforementioned controls get un-anchored and undocked every time! You can actually see the designer flickering and repainting and then undocking my controls. Gee, thanks ;-) So I have to go back to this particular label and 3 combo boxes and re-anchor and re-dock them every time! Needless to say, this is mildly frus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I manage Work Items in Excel?

  Hello, I have the Team Project portal site. I have Work Items Excel file in the document library. When I try to open the Excel file from the project site on the computer without Team Foundation Client, the file is empty. How do I use Work Items Excel file on the computer without Team Foundation Client Thanks. I don't think you can use an Excel file containing work items on a computer that doesn't have the team foundation client. They wouldn't be able to sync or publish anyhow, so I assume you're looking for a read-only view of the data. If that is the case, you might just want t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Architect vs. VSTS Developer

  With he proposed changes in MSDN subscriptions and Visual Studio licensing, I now have to make a decision between VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. As I understand, MSDN Universal subscribers will have a choice - they can either go for VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. I believe that I need both architecture and development tools. Which out of two should I go for The information was interesting but too high-level to be really useful or answer the questions I feel most developers have. I hope you folks will be releasing something with a bit of meat on it like a feature by feature breakdown of what is included in each edition in t ...Show All
