Where do I report bug to Microsoft?

[Allan Ebdrup]

Sorry for the off topic subject, but I don't know where else to ask.
I've found a bug in Visual Studio 2005 when running a webtest, where do I
report such a bug?
I've searched the microsoft newsgroups and have found nothing related to
testing, shouldn't there be one (or more)?

Kind Regards,
Allan Ebdrup

connect.microsoft.com is usually the best place.

Hi Allan,

As Jon has mentioned, you can post any comments or bug request in the
connect web site. And below is the connect site for Visual Studio and .NET:

#Visual Studio and .NET Framework Feedback
http://connect.microsoft.com/feedbac...spx?SiteID=210

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

well... 'best' is subjective in this regard...

Would "best publicly available place" suit you better? The OP doesn't seem
to be an MVP.

'best' between quotes because I don't think 'connect' deserves a
qualification with the word 'best'. Not even 'good'.

The TS should IMHO open a thread at the forums (forums.microsoft.com)
as it will then be picked up sooner than with connect which most of the
time is a black hole when it comes to .net /vs.net issues.

Well, I've had good results with Connect most of the time. How much of
that is due to MVP status (which at least *did* mean something - I'm
not sure if it does now) I don't know, but my bugs/queries were at
least responded to reasonably quickly.

Then you're lucky :) No issue I've reported as an mvp has been
replied to within a month, some even took more than a year.
