<div>
<p>There are various ways to move through text or code in the Code Editor using the mouse and navigation keys:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use  the arrow keys to move one character at a time, or the arrow keys in  combination with the CTRL key to move one word at a time. Arrow keys  move one line at a time also.</li>
<li>Click a location with the mouse.</li>
<li>Use the scroll bars or scroll wheel on the mouse to move through the text.</li>
<li>Use the HOME, END, PAGEUP, and PAGEDOWN keys.</li>
<li>Use CTRL+PAGE UP and CTRL+PAGE DOWN to move the insertion point to the top or bottom of the window, respectively.</li>
<li>Use CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END to move the insertion point to the start or end of the file, respectively.</li>
<li>Use CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW to scroll the view without moving the insertion point.</li>
<li>Use the <span>Navigate Backward</span> button to move the insertion point to previous locations in the active document, and the <span>Navigate Forward</span> button to return to more recent locations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Operations such as <span>Incremental Search</span>, <span>Goto Line</span>, <span>Goto Definition</span>, <span>Beginning of Document</span>, <span>End of Document</span>, <span>Paste</span>, and <span>Insert File</span> can move the insertion point a significant distance within the active document. The <span>Navigate Backward</span> and <span>Navigate Forward</span> buttons retain the last 20 locations of the insertion point.</p>
<p>The following sections describe other ways to move to specific sections and lines of code:</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigation bar</li>
<li>Bookmarks in the <span>Bookmarks Window</span></li>
<li>Comment tasks in the <span>Task List</span></li>
<li>Incremental searches</li>
<li><span>Go to Line</span> command</li>
<li><span>Go to Definition</span> command</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably all seen <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/11/19/visual-studio-2008-and-net-framework-3-5-shipped.aspx">Soma&#8217;s announcement</a> that the 2008 suite of products officially shipped this morning.  Good luck downloading &#8212; our servers are pegged <img src='http://www.ukoom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you plan to use VS 2008 with SourceSafe, make sure to pick up the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=FAF41EDD-924D-449F-AEFC-9C86DD499720&amp;displaylang=en">Update CTP</a> too.  Without it, some features like &#8220;Open from Source Control&#8221; will not work at all.  Pay close attention to the install instructions as well.  As it says in the <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=939808">KB article</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>You may receive error messages when you use Visual Studio 2008. This problem occurs because some compatibility fixes require the Tdnamespaceextension.dll file to be reregistered after you install Visual Studio 2008. To reregister the Tdnamespaceextension.dll file, type the following command at the [elevated - RB] command prompt:</p>
<p><strong>regsvr32 &#8220;%programfiles%\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\tdnamespaceextension.dll&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Sorry about the manual install step.  It sucks, I know.  The next Update won&#8217;t have this requirement.  (We wanted to ship it before Orcas but ran into some last-minute delays.  Expect it before the end of the year.)</p>
<p>Why does SourceSafe need an update anyway?  Aren&#8217;t VS plugin interfaces supposed to be backwards compatible?  Yes, they are.  In fact, there are no changes to the MSSCCI API in 2008; none of the fixes are related to MSSCCI.  (3rd party source control developers can now breathe a sigh of relief).  The changes come from the way SourceSafe implements Open from Source Control, Add to Source Control, and Share inside Visual Studio.</p>
<p>Starting in VSS 2005, these functions let you browse the database inside VS&#8217;s open/add dialogs instead of hanging off the File -&gt; Source Control menu like most other source control providers.  It&#8217;s a cool trick known as a <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/shell/namespcextguide1.asp">namespace extension</a>.  In VS 2008, as you may have noticed, those open/add dialogs got a facelift: like <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/richardb/archive/2007/09/11/did-you-know-how-to-bring-up-old-style-dialogs-in-sourcesafe-2005.aspx">VSS 2005</a>, VS 2008 now uses the standard Windows dialogs.  So Vista users in particular get a spiffy new one with integrated search &amp; everything.  Unfortunately, that change broke us pretty badly, leading in one way or another to at least 10 of the bugs on <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/richardb/archive/2007/06/06/list-of-bugs-fixed-in-sourcesafe-2005-gdr.aspx">my list</a>.  Bottom line, you don&#8217;t want to be caught without the Update linked above.</p>
<p>Hopefully these fixes demonstrate our commitment to keep SourceSafe 2005 a viable option with VS 2008, Vista, and beyond!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Considering that the .NET framework is easily on the short list for the most popular business application platform, it is surprising that financial functions are largely ignored. Sure there is a handful of methods squirreled away in VisualBasic.Financial, but most developers don’t even think to look there. It is no wonder companies often turn to Excel.</p>
<p><span id="ctl00_ctl00_Content_TabContentPanel_Content_wikiSourceLabel">Excel Financial functions for .NET  is a .NET library that provides the full set of financial functions from Excel. The main goal for the library is compatibility with Excel, by providing the same functions, with the same behaviour. Note though that this is not a wrapper over the Excel library; the functions have been re-implemented in managed code so that you do not need to have Excel installed to use this library.</span></p>

<p>As promised <a href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2007/11/05/visual-studio-2008-coming-to-msdn-subscribers-at-the-end-of-november">earlier this month</a>, Microsoft announced today that both Visual Studio 2008 and the accompanying .NET Framework 3.5 have been released to manufacture (RTM).</p>
<p>Codenamed Orcas, Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008) comes two years after Visual Studio 2005.  In total, there are more than 250 new features added with significant enhancements across every version ranging from Express Editions to Visual Studio Team Systems (VSTS). A key addition in VS2008 is support for the new Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which is positioned as a technology for rapid application development. LINQ is designed to let developers focus on what they need the data to do, rather than be mired in the complexities of data abstraction and casting.  Also, LINQ makes it easier to tie C# or Visual Basic with SQL.</p>
<p>In addition, VS2008 features multi-targeting support.  Scott Guthrie, a general manager in the Microsoft Developer Division, explains in a <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/11/19/visual-studio-2008-and-net-3-5-released.aspx">blog post</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>VS 2008 enables you to build applications that target multiple versions of the .Net Framework. This means you can use VS 2008 to open, edit and build existing .NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 2.0 applications (including ASP.NET 2.0 applications using ASP.NET AJAX 1.0), and continue to deploy these application on .NET 2.0 machines.</p></blockquote>
<p>The .NET Framework 3.5 features enhancements to a number of built-in libraries as well as deliver a host of features relevant to Web 2.0, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software plus Services-based applications.</p>
<p>Even though the product&#8217;s formal launch will not take place until next year, MSDN subscribers can download VS2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx">here</a>.</p>
