• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Project into an interface?

  This would be interesting to see in C#3: from name in db.Names, city in Cities select new ICustomer { LastName = name.LastName, FirstName = name.FirstName, PostalCode = city.Zip, CountryCode = city.CountryCode }   For an interface that consisted entirely of properties, have an anonymous type implement the trivial interface.  At the moment, the only way I can think of is to specifically create a class to implement the interface. I've been interested in decoupling the projection stage from the selection stage, such that I could have a DAL consisting of, essentially, from/where clauses, and have in the presentation layer ...Show All

What are you doing immediately before the toolbox becomes disabled Also, after it becomes disabled, does it become enabled just by viewing a user control in design mode or perhaps a different worksheet Did you protect the worksheet(s) in the project This would prohibit you from ...Show All

  Enjoy!  I'll try to keep it up as much as possible. Hi Alan.  Unfortunately I'm not running this on a "server" platform.  I seem to be experiencing some problems related to the number of concurrent connections.  I've been working on an application that may be causing some of the trouble.  I'll see what I can do to mitigate it's impact.  The server is back up and running.  If you experience any more trouble send me a quick email.  Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6 to .NET

  I am currently supporting and developing a VB6 client based application that needs to be migrated to a web based application.  I am know that we will be migrating to .NET but what will that mean that it will be converted to a web based application or what will it take at a high level to make it web based "what will that mean that it will be converted to a web based application or what will it take at a high level to make it web based " I've always thought "web based" as being a little more of a management buzzword than a meaningful engineering term simply because o it's ambiguity.

• Visual Studio Team System Sorting by Rank sorts incorrectly

  Rank is an integer field - but when you sort it and you have say 13 items ranked from 1 to 13. When you try and sort it in the UI by Rank it will rank them 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3,4,5... Since the UI only allows integers in this field - sorting it like a string isn't right - I am using the RC version. Hello Bryan, You are right- the Rank field is defined as a String field but the form accepts Integer values. In V1, the field is defined as a string to allow new items to be inserted into the order without renumbering the other work items. However, we do not want to accept non-integer values for this field, ...Show All
