• Visual Studio Team System Finally - Installed and Working - Upgrade Question

  So I finally got TFS installed and working, I am running everything from the April CTP. I could not get the June CTP of TFS to install with the April CTP of SQL. It seems that the .net framework versions were incompatible. How will i be able to upgrade TFS /Sql as new releases come out without losing all of my project settings and files There is not an upgrade script for all of the current releases and the upcoming mid-July CTP release.  You will need to migrate source files (re-add source) and work items (export to excel from old system, import to new system) manually.

  Hi There! I need to establish communication between my pc an analytical balance using VB 2005. I have a Form that can pick up an available COM port, send data (using serialPort.WriteLine(txtDatatoSend.Text & vbCrLf) and receive data (using System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) from it but something in the code is still wrong.
