I have just bought an MSDN license. One of the reasons is to convert an
application from JBoss to .Net.
I'm looking for the Java Language Conversion Assistant, but I can't seem to
find it.  I have installed both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .Net.  I

What is the licensing issue with CrystalReports runtime? We have heard the
runtime is not free and the client have to purchase a runtime license for

I have a web reference and it is set as dynamic.  It created the keys
and url values in my web.config file which is what I expected.
However, when I make a change to a URL value in my web.config file and
update my web reference, it overwrites the web.config file with the

Is there a way to extract the command line being called when you compile from

I'm taking an online course - the current topic is "Using Data Binding in

test projects, but when I right-click on a new test project and choose
"Add-> New Test" my choices are limited to "Ordered Test" and "Unit

I'm suddenly (as in "I don't ever recall seeing this behavior before") seeing a bizarre behavior in the VS2005 debugger when working

I don't work at Microsoft (and after some of my posts I probably never
