I have read a lot of blogging posts and some MSDN articles about Visual Studio 2005, but have not found a comparison chart anywhere. What I and problably many out there wanted is a chart like the one below.
| | Visual Studio 2005 Edition |
| Features | Academic | Express | Professional | Enterprise Developer | Enterprise Architect | Team System Developer | Team System Architect | (and so on)... |
| Feature 1 | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ |
| Feature 1.a | | | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ |
| Feature 2 | | | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ |
| Feature 2.a | | | | þ | þ | þ | þ | þ |
| (and so on)... | | | | | | | | |
If someone out there know of a place such information can be found, comment the link on this post or trackback it, please.
I have had problems syndicating some feeds lately. Can someone out there help me anyway? I send feedback to the webmasters, but no answer so far.

A few weeks ago, I asked for recommendations for non-Microsoft VB bloggers. Without further ado, here are the lists... “Community Seal of Approval” Blogs (blogs that got at least one recommendation)
“Not Afraid to Toot My Own Horn“ Blogs (blogs that recommended themselves)
“Honorable Mention“ Blogs (blogs that weren't mentioned but probably should have been)
If there are any you think I missed, feel free to add more comments!

John Papas has an interesting article on the topic in the current issue of MSDN Magazine, Migrating from ADO to ADO.NET. His approach is pretty straight-forward - "Here's x in ADO, here's what it has become in ADO.NET, here are the differences/enhancements/etc" - which I think is helpful for someone who hasn't worked with ADO.NET much yet & is trying to get a handle on how the technologies map to each other. If you are getting close to actually porting code, I'd recommend also reading Bill Vaughn's take on the subject, Migrating Code and Concepts from ADO "Classic" to ADO.NET. He comes at it from a more conceptual level - "What are your routines in ADO actually doing, and how can you get the same or better functionality in ADO.NET?" Between the two articles you should be able to get the conceptual underpinnings you'll need to get you started.

Sometimes you may have the string name of an enumeration identifier, and want its enum type. For example, you write a enum identifier as a string to a file and want to read it back and obtain the original enumeration type. This takes place when you serialize a class to an XML file and deserialize it back using XmlSerializer.
private enum Direction {North, South, East, West};
private Direction ParseDirection(string name)
{ return (Direction) Enum.Parse(typeof(Direction), name, true); } |
