  Hi, Could anyone point me to list of  new features of Visual C++ 8.0 compiler for mobile devices related to ISO C++ Standard compliance I'm using eVC++ 4.0 with latest ServicePack and AFAIK this compiler is based on the VC++ 6.0, so there is a lack of many C++ features, not to mention limited version of STL.

• Visual Studio Team System Restricting access to Visual Studio Project directories for different team members

  Please will someone confirm that for a given Team Project all contributors have equal rights for all the Visual Studio Solutions and Visual Studio Projects + files held in Team Foundation Source Control.

If you wanted to do something like that then you would have to create a separate Team Project for each group. That is to say access control is implemented at Team Project level, not at the level of individual Visual Studio Projects and Solutions.
