RTM Confusion
I am a little confused by the RTM release of VS2008. I cant find a copy of the Team Explorer RTM or wither it is bundled with Team Suit. This would be a problem if I uninstalled everything only to find that I can’t get my source control… Does anyone know if Team Suit is […]
Get your RTM here!
Well, its official. Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 went RTM this morning…. So I will be spending the next wee while moving to the full release. if I can ever get the MSDN site to load. At the moment I have been waiting a couple of minutes for it, and no sign yet… That’s […]
Blogging about…
Well, I have not done one of these is a while…I could say that I have been busy, but I have not been 🙂 I have been finishing up at Merrill Lynch in lue of starting my new job at Aggreko, and as I finished up on Friday, and I don’t start till Monday, you […]
Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Architects
Something I have noticed in writing an article is that the “Application diagram” in VS2008 does not support Windows Communication Foundation. This I think is an oversight even for Beta 2. Is this going to be in the RTM, I hope so as it would be virtually useless without it! Technorati Tags: ALM VS 2008
Using Visual Studio 2008
I have been tinkering with VS2008 for a week now, but I had not had time to really look at it. They have made the interface slicker, and faster making the whole experience a little nicer. When you go to create new projects you get a number of nice options that allow you to target […]
Microsoft’s internal uptake of Team Foundation Server

In my battles to get my company to use Team Foundation Server I recently contacted the manager of the most highly regarded development team in the company. Apart from being initially disheartened by his initial question “Does it run on Unix?” the manager […]
Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Team Explorer
Well, I now have Visual Studio 2008 Team Suit installed on my laptop, but I have just realized that Team Explorer is not provided as part of the installation (same as VS2005). This is irritating as now I need to download Visual Studio 2008 team Foundation Server to get the client out of it. I think […]
Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 on Vista
As you may have seen from my previous post, I have just installed VS2008B2 onto my old work computer, well it is now time to hit my Vista laptop with it: I just tried to install Visual Studio 2008 Team Suit on my Vista laptop, but it failed on the first hurdle; installing the .NET Framework 3.5 Beta […]
Installing Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 on XP
The first problem I have encountered in that in the past I have had various version of Office 2007 beta and other bits and bobs. You will need to remove these to install Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. If your install fails on or just after “Microsoft Web Designer Tools” then you probably have this […]
