908 - I could ask a programming question 
My point, other than to rant, why change a functional development model when all your doing is confusing the existing customer base? For what elephanting purpose are you doing this?
end_rant <-- forgot that.
Eventually I figures this out, but if there is NO functional difference to your changes, WTF are you doing changing it?

And I thought you were an experienced developer in the MS space. there are a few more you are going to have to learn!
Why change the functionality for no reason other than the break compatibility with a prior version?
Why inflict the bloody ribbon on the world?
Why deprecate a perfectly viable technology?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how come you're (still) using VS2008?

Not a stupid question
Simple answer: embedded development environment.

You're gonna love VS2015! (at least when you start using it in 2023) 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Yeah, especially the free telemetry data inserted into your code

That's what we paid the upgrade fee for..

Solutions are a good idea - they are "meta projects" where a number of projects are gathered together into a single solution. Basically, a Project generates an assembly, a Solution generates a collection of Assemblies that make up a whole application.
So you can have a Project for each of your DL, BL, and PL for example, and a Solution for your whole application.
Then when you retarget the DL from SQL server to a Cloud based DB, and redesign the PL for a Windows Surface say, you can create a new Solution, with a brand new PL, a new DL, and including the original BL project. Any changes to you make to the BL are reflected in both applications when they are next built.

DL - database layer, BL - business logic, PL - hmmm.
Okay, that sort of makes sense. Coming from embedded other tools - we have projects and subprojects, or dependencies, etc. Never considered that sort of arrangement.

PL - Presentation Layer. The bit that is specific to the user interface for a particular application / environment. You might have the same DL and BL with different PL for WinForms and website for example.

I like VS 2010 more. After that VS became crappy...

I actually like the Solution with projects model. It has a lot more flexibility over the older concept.
Were I still working on CE, I'd campaign to update to Windows Embedded Compact 2013.

You forgot the clueless!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As software moves toward a subscription model similar to Monsanto's model of selling GMO seeds, expect more screen space for ads and intentionally bad UI, as customers spend more money when confused and agitated.

What on earth has this to do with anything in this post?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Oh, that reminds me:
Has anyone been watching "Braindead"? A couple of people have told me it's OK. Is it worth watching?

The Guardian review was a bit on the fence so I didn't indulge thinking I could do a binge watch later on if the messages were more positive. So I'll be just as interested in what anyone has to say m'sen.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

My thoughts exactly.
Mind you, The Powerpuff Girls got good reviews, so I've got about 590 episodes of that to watch, first.

I just applied some good ol' percussion maintenance to my laptop's power brick, and it started working! For a while anyways. Open another application and it gives out again, but another whack and it starts right back up.
This will do until I get the new power brick I ordered from Asus (order should be processed Monday, and will likely arrive mid to late next week).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
