The latest error I have really annoyed me as there was no obvious indication what the error was and how to resolve it, which is really the purpose of this post. To share this so that others may benefit, and because my memory... Read More...

Why wont you just work....
Monday, February 25, 2008 8:32 AM
In a previous post on some problems I had with VS2005 and unit testing where running unit tests always gave me this: I reported that uninstalling and re-installing the test components of Visual Studio fixed it up.

VSTS for Database Professionals on my current project
Monday, May 28, 2007 11:24 PM
On a current project I was interested in using VSTS for Database professionals to see if it could add any value with database management. Traditionally its been a very manual process as Visual Studio has not had any real support for it.
