Long time, no Blogs
So, I have been quite the quiet Blogger. Been on vacation and we are also cranking away trying to get our first release out. We have been living in ADO.NET, BindingContext, Threading, Stored proc and User|Custom Control world. One thing for sure, MS got it right with DataBinding and BindingContext. Wow, how sweet this is and how much time and effort it has saved us. We are using Janus's GridEX for our Grids. All I can say is buy it now. Do not waste your time with the .NET DataGrid (WinForms).

So, in follow up to my previous post, it seems there is a documented bug with Project References. This is caused by a bug in the compiler. In our case, it related to Forms inheritance. Our workaround thus far is to use File References, and, so far so good. Good news is MS will not count this against our MSDN incidents when you decide to close the case.

VS .NET 2003
So, am I the only one totally frustrated with this? We are building a Windows Form application and went from MS VS .NET to .NET 2003 last week. The application loads and runs fine. However, the IDE is crashing all over the place.

Moving to V1.1
So, we finally moved to VS 1.1 Friday. Initially, all tests were successful. This week, MAJOR problems and headaches. Windows Forms are dropping controls on Builds, we can 'Get Latest Version' from VSS and more problems I do not have time to document. We have spent probably 5-10 hours of down down trying to work these out. Problem is, this is V 1.0 code that has not been edited in months. Now, Builds fail, VSS fails....GRRRRRR
