Complete TFS 2008 Install Guide
I wanted to use Team Foundation Server 2008 as our development solution for our company, and I had never used it before, so I thought I’d give it a whirl on a VM dev box and see how it goes. I tried opening the Installation Guide, and it didn’t work. I tried opening the one online, and it forced me to download a copy that also didn’t work. So, flying blind I gave it my best shot.

Import an Excel 2007 spreadsheet into a GridView in ASP.Net

STM and .Net 4.0 Beta 1

I’ll post something here once…

I welcome suggestions. Enjoy!
