Visual Studio 2010 CTP VPC is Expiring -- Here's the Fix!

Published 19 December 08 11:08 AM

The first episode in a series on VS 2010 was posted this week on Channel 9. The series is put on by some of my favorite niners; Brian Keller, Jason Olson, Drew Robbins and Jonathan Carter. This episode not only shows you how to download and set up the Visual Studio 2010 VPC but also contains info on how to extend the time bomb past the end of the year by disabling the system clock synchronization between your host OS and the VPC. So if you're working with the VS CTP right now like I am this will come in handy ;-)

Here's more info from Brian Keller and Jeff Beehler:

HI dear.

Not really realted to the topic but i thought if i post this comment in an old post you might not read it.

Anyway greating you with Xmas and new year i want to know that wheather we can use  custom buttons in Visual basic / studio applications or not. Or even in MS Access applications? I said this coz the old look buttons are very ugly and in these days the hard work done in coding seems valuless for the guys using the application coz of the look. So at least the buttons are colored more like the VISTA it will be a much needed help for me. So can you please let me know a way to do this. Remember i am very new to this programming.
