This post brought up a few memories... Visual Inderdev 6.0 didn't have fancy project name. Everybody was just calling it VID. I guess it was convenient so it didn't need a special name :-). Visual Studio IDE project was called Vegas. It was new VS common...

We are back in business as dedicated Web Development tool in Visual Studio 2005. http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vwd/default.aspx

===== Opened by larsberg on 02/28/2001 12:11PM ===== While using Object Browser, clicking on delegates seemed to cause the room to shake. I have been unable to repro since rebuilding the library, but would appreciate research, as it was difficult to click...

This is my calendar for tomorrow. I don't know when I am supposed to write code. I want my development time back! Names were removed to protect the guilty :-)

I feel that code reviews that happen when coding is finished are too late. It is difficult to tell a person after he or she wrote a decent chunk of code (maybe thousands of lines) that the code is not good and has to be rewritten. Will you have guts to...

Today I found myself switching contexts between 3 (three) terminal sessions plus my main desktop. I was doing VS Whidbey work on the main desktop, VS Whidbey checkin machine was running checkin tests in one TS session, I had some experimental code compiling...

XSLT Intellisense and validation schema for VS 2003
