Thoughts...

I've just been asked, what means the icon on "Save" button...

For some time I tried to understand what this question means, and finally understand it: we have new generation of users, who NEVER seen 3.5'' FDD!!!

Tried to explain what is it, but faced misunderstanding why needed something comparable to size of PDA which stores only 1.44Mb, while there is flash storage with 2-4Gb on about  finger size...

Shocked... Scared... Should I mention also 5.25'' FDD's and magnetic tapes???

.Net Source Code - Visual Studio 2008 integration

Always wanted to know, how some functionality implemented in .Net framework? Want to debug into framework sources, while debugging you own programs? From today you could!

This could help you understand better how really the stuff works, why you are getting  particular results and why errors being thrown.

To use .Net framework source code debugging you need to get and install Visual Studio 2008 QFE update. It is available through connect site.

The source code comes for:

  • .NET Base Class Libraries (including System, System.CodeDom, System.Collections, System.ComponentModel, System.Diagnostics, System.Drawing, System.Globalization, System.IO, System.Net, System.Reflection, System.Runtime, System.Security, System.Text, System.Threading, etc).
  • ASP.NET (System.Web, System.Web.Extensions)
  • Windows Forms (System.Windows.Forms)
  • Windows Presentation Foundation (System.Windows)
  • ADO.NET and XML (System.Data and System.Xml)

 

See Shawn Burke blog post to get very detailed information on how enable Visual Studio 2008 to debug into frameworks source code.
