• Visual Studio Bug in Edit Attributes editor

  Don't know where to post bugs. However, the edit attributes pop-up acts strange when you enter a closing brace ')' character. This bevaviour occurs when you edit a paramater of an attribute. Typing in ')' sets the cursor on the 'add new attribute' line. So it is not possible to enter a ')'. This is not handy for a parameter that requires the ')' like typeof(..). Currently the trick is either to add the ')' by editing the xml or to copy it fro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Just Completed a Conversion From an Imake-based Build System Over to MSBuild

  Some stats up front, the old system was comprised of 37 Imakefiles with 2333 lines altogether.  The msbuild system has roughly the same number of MSBuild project files (.csproj and a single .targets) with a total of 2022 lines.  The cool thing is that even though none of these are C# projects I can use a .csproj file and trick VS 2005 into building the MSBuild projects for me.  WRT build times, MSBuild appears to be a bit slo ...Show All
