• Visual Studio Team System Why is TFS not available to Empower Program subscriptions?

  I checked with Rob Caron. Although Empower comes with MSDN Premium, the included version of VS is only Professional. You must have one of the VS Team Editions + MSDN Premium to get TFS Workgroup Edition, thus Empower doesn’t qualify :-( I believe TFS Workgroup should come for Empower: After MSDN transition -> to software developer lets say, Empower includes VS PRO + MSDN PREMIUM => should get TFS Workgroup. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/products/compare/default.aspx ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development My First Web Application

  Hi I'm intermediate at vb.net, but I want to work with web also now. I want to make a web application in visual studio 2002(pretty much same as 2003) do you know how I could do it Note: I do 99% of my programming on my laptop which doesn't have internet. Could I still Practice making web applications and learning on it Given that your quest is to learn ASP.NET... I'd suggest starting it over at the ASP.NET forums where the folks there tend to think in a more ASP.NET centric sort of way than we do here. Also, rather than learning with Visual Studio 2002... you might want to take a look at the free Visual Web Developer which is based on Visual Studio 2005 and targets the latest version of ASP.NET.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Delete WorkflowInstance from Database Tables

  I use one DB for Persistence and Tracking. This database therefore holds all workflows started. These workflow were started for different portals used by different clients. So if a client needs to be setup from scratch, I need to find the according workflows in the database and delete them. The other workflows (for the other clients) should stay untouched. Because of the amount of tables created (Persistence only uses 2 tables, Tracking about 20) I wanted to ask if someone knows how to do a task like this. The table "Workflow" holds the different workflows. Now I have a reference (WorkflowTypeId) which I can use to delete the instances. Am I correct Thanks I'm confused by "specific ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I was wondering about automatic and not about explicit lazy loading.

  While on the subject of loading foreign key references... Is there some mnemonic I can throw into the LINQ query to tell LINQ to Entities that I want to pre-fetch all of the type data because I want to filter on it When I do: var filteredQuery = from game in gamesDb.VideoGames where game.Type.Name == "Nintendo Wii" select game; foreach (VideoGames g2 in filteredQuery) Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", g2.Title, g2.Type.Name); That thing works fine, and I don't have to loop through and call TypeRef.Load() Is there something I can stuff in the query when I'm not using a where clause that will force the TypeRef to pre-fetch   Daniel Simmons - MSFT wrote: This topic is one we have debated a ...Show All
