• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Licensing Outrageousness and Issues…

  I have seen the LP (List Price) and "New" MSDN Premium Subscription thing and don't believe the substantial increase in cost from the point of view of a small team of developers. Perhaps I don't understand the licensing for non-ms-partners meaning average joe's developers team that will like to work (and will benefit greatly) with VSTS.  Actually from the point of view of government projects that our group leads it is outrageous ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions fstream with Japanese filenames?

  Hi I'm currently making a studylist program for learning Japanese. I'm using an fstream reader to read and open my studylists and it works fine when the filename is in English, however when the filename is in Japanese, or any directory in the path is Japanese the fstream reader returns a null string.
