• Visual Studio Team System "The permission Destroy is not valid"

  I created a Team Project and SCC branch and then realized that I wanted to basically start over because I did something wrong.  While I don't realistically expect that I can actually delete the Team Project itself, I was hoping to remove and re-establish the SCC folders for that project (by blowing them away and re-adding the code solution to the Team Project). In order to do this I am trying to grant the "Destroy" permission to a user ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Launching a New Application in Visual Basic 2005 Express

  Good afternoon one and all: I have found that launching an application through Visual Basic 2005 Express is certainly easier than launching an application through Visual Basic .NET 2003.  It requires less effort, and therefore less time, to successfully develop a new software application.
