Visual Studio Team System Synchronization of two VSTS instances
Hello, We have two separate VSTS instances. We are planning to use both instances for a single project. That is why we want to keep both instances "identical" in the meaning of having always synchronized work items. And here is the question - is this natively supported by VSTS Does VSTS support replication management Regards, George Jordanov Ivanov George, As far as I am aware, this is not a feature in V1 of Team Foundation Server. One of the product group feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Software Development for Windows Vista workflow and web apps
How do you go about utilizing WWF in a web application I'm currently looking into building a workflow system for publishing web pages in a cms. I've got a basic workflow built and have been testing it using a console application. I need to port this workflow to the web application where users would interact with it using webforms instead of a console app. I'm a little confused on how this would be done in a stateless environment. The workflow is the usual review process... a reviewer receives a notification via email that a page needs to be approved. They log into the web app and do their review and either approve or reject the page. If a ...Show All
Windows Forms Alternating cursor
Arrgghh, this is very frustrating. Visual Studio 2005 Windows Form designer seems to go bonkers after entering more than about 10 - 15 controls on a form. The cursor sits there and alternates between the arrow and the reposition control cursor. Not sure what it is doing, but the only way it seems I can get it back is to select a different running program then switch back to visual studio. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
