I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got
errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista.
Microsoft...... please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a
joke.
It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will
not be supported on Vista. This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of
support for these products.
Is this even legal?

People are suckers for shiny stuff? This is a test.
AI, regex, bugs, nerds... these are all in the way. Big Brother works in
mysterious ways. I'm just glad the mystery is solved. Sleep better now.

People *are* suckers for "shiny" stuff - even if there is no other
benefit (sometimes even if there is less).
This is another test.
Thanks for tip. Do you have any idea of how steep the learning curve is for
someone who is already high up on VB.Net? I just can't afford a new OS's and
then also have to spend another 500dlrs to upgrade to VB.Net 2005.

are MS really saying that they do not have a development enviropnment for
Vista that will be supported and work out of the box, with no warnings or
requirements to disable bits of th o/s from day one?
What do we get from Vista besides yet another learning curve, hasle and
different bugs to resolve?

Well my earlier post aboout not being able to access http://localhost has
been resolved. I am still having problems testing my Web site project.
First, thanks to Juan Libre I edited my HOSTS file and can access
localhost. However, what I found in the HOSTS file was not what I expected.
Juan mentioned that the following line might be missing.

I install Visual Studio 2005 Pro on Vista. I open and migrate a 2003 web
project to 2005. I attempt to browse an aspx file from the Solution Exploer.
It displays a blank html page.
I create a master page with 3 content placeholders. I create a WebForm that

I change from the IIS to the internal server. No change. Only displays

I installed Visual Studio 2005 (+SP1) on a Vista laptop and my

tried the "repair" option from the add/remove programs entry.
Any thoughts? I know there...

After migrating from XP to Vista, the following piece of code
Process.Start("subst", drive + " " + path);
as well as
DefineDosDevice(0, drive, path); // importing kernel32.dll
simply stopped mapping drives.
The funny thing is that running "subst " from command

Any Ideas?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
