Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups...

If you're searching for information in the Microsoft newsgroups, you might want to try this instead of that . I love the UI of the former although I'm not sure how it compares against the later in terms of performance and search accuracy.

VS.NET IDE and word wrap

I don't like to look nor edit code in that mode. On the other hand, I don't like having to mouse over an error description to be able to see the huge line. Guess what I just discovered: you can press Ctrl-R, Ctrl-R in the Output pane and it works great!

Raymon Chen - "C++ scoped static initialization is not thread-safe, on purpose!"
