Top Ten Visual Studio 2005 Enhancements for Windows Forms Development (Part I)
We’ve been providing feedback to the Windows
Forms and Client Data development teams at Microsoft regarding the
next release of the Visual Studio IDE, named Visual Studio 2005,
and codenamed “Whidbey”. From our experience with the alpha
versions of Visual Studio 2005, the overall
theme is definitely improving developer productivity;
doing more with fewer mouse-clicks and by writing less
code. The following is the first half
of a “top-ten” list of features
that we have found to be most compelling to our current
development projects.
Report from the Field – Answers to Your SharePoint Questions

this second generation product, across the organizational chart,
has been very impressive. Having presented to almost 200 people,
representing a myriad of corporations, as well as having visited
and worked with several others, I’ve compiled a list of the most
popular questions I’ve been asked. This article will detail those
questions and my answers.

An Introduction to the Microsoft Business Intelligence Platform
Some describe Business
Intelligence as a technology for processing large volumes of
corporate data. Others consider it more philosophical; an attitude that business processes can be altered by data analysis. Whatever the formal definition, Business Intelligence is fundamentally
