I’ve been waiting for this update for VS 2008 SDK for VS 2008 SP1. The link I got fro ma msdn blog post was wrong, so here’s the link to the download page. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=59ec6ec3-4273-48a3-ba25-dc925a45584d&DisplayLang...
Davy Brion posted about how events can keep object references alive. In C# to rid yourself of this issue you have to manually unwire any event handler you wired. In VB, it is a lot easier, all you have to do is use WithEvents and set the variable...

I downloaded the SQL 2008 Upgrade Advisor. When I tried to install it I got this : It says a “Windows service pack” , yet Windows Update tells me my system is up to date. Well it might help if I read the download’s system requirements...
I was reading Kathleen’s post about what a C# developer needs to know about VB and thought I should clarify the bit about Booleans converted to numerics. A Boolean in VB when converted to an integer type numeric, will be zero or the bitwise Not...
It's bad enough when the Windows Live team continually releases their SDKs omitting VB, but when XNA 3.0 CTP is released and STILL NO VB support, it's getting beyond a joke. XNA 3 is for Visual Studio 2008 and lets you do cool things like create...
In putting together some virtual machines for testing on hyper-v, I was amazed and disappointed to find that Microsoft is NOT pushing out the .NET framework any more. On Windows XP, windows update offers only .NET 1.1 and 2.0. Vista includes 3.0. So why...
