How to connect to TFS 2010 from VS2008

If you need to connect to an instance of Team Foundation Server 2010 from Visual Studio 2008, first you need to install the Forward Compatibilty Update: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cf13ea45-d17b-4edc-8e6c-6c5b208ec54d. The Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is a required prerequisite to install this update. Then, you will need to provide the full URL of the instance within the Add Team Foundation Server dialog.

Visual Studio stores the list of files in a project file (.csproj or .vbproj), rather than relying on the folder structure. You cannot mix Visual Basic and C#. You cannot edit code without stopping a debugging session. You can establish dependencies between multiple web projects. You must compile the application... Read→

When Microsoft set about building the Windows Presentation Foundation, one core goal was to create an environment for applications capable of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional content simultaneously. Using a traditional approach, this would have led to an abstract Button class followed by Button2D and Button3D subclasses that would override the painting rules. Tearing a page from the CSS-based Internet, Microsoft also wanted the look and feel of all controls to be controllable via styles... Read→

Microsoft Office 2010 comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit (not compatible with 64-bit Windows XP) versions and this is the first time that a 64-bit version of Office has been available. 64-bit processing brings some advantages but there are lot of disadvantages on the bleeding edge of technology. The advantages of the 64-bit version are that it lets you use additional memory installed on your computer – for example Excel 2010 workbooks can be bigger than 2GB. Project 2010 can work with very large projects... Read→
