how come how do I show property window of a project?
like changing the default namespace?

on some project I clik on the project, then property.
but I have a new project where nothing will popup this window!
 
yeah!
thanks to MS, XML madness!
I just quit VS studio, open the cs proj with a text editor and did my
change.
anyway I found the latest project setting (in the graphical IDE part)(on VS
2003 & 2005) getting poorer and poorer...
 
Well glad it got a good laugh out of you. But I have to add something here.
Too many folks consider microsoft to be this one god who never makes a
mistake. The reality is, given the size of microsoft, the number of teams
there, and the number of individuals in the mix, it is SIMPLY amazing the
awesome quality they do produce.

Lets be honest, when were you or I a part of a project that was the size of
Vstudio + .NET + all that surrounds it. Did your final code really have zero
bugs in it?

Just as a sample statistic, the MSDN library is in about 3.8 gigabytes now.
To date, I have found "4" technical inaccuracies in those docs. That's quite
a feat, don't u think?

well when you watched the MSND TVs Show or listen to their radio (can't
remember the name though). They speak often of code validating tool tested
internally and slowly making their ways in VS.NET
BTW you have unit testing functionalitty inside VS.NET2005.

never try it yet, though. I wonder how they compare to NUnit.
also I have no idea how to test GUI, I wonder if they have solution on that
as well.

Perhaps you should read a couple of these:

MSDN isn't a good example, actually - there are holes in it all over
the place, especially in terms of the sample source code. I try to be
conscienscious and send them an email every time I spot something
dodgy, but it can really end up sucking up significant amounts of
time...

Don't get me wrong, MSDN is a great resource overall, but there are
*lots* of problems in it.
 
Hey, MSDN is written by human beings - guys like you and me, and reviewed by
guys like you and me ;). Some error rate is to be expected. Not every
example is great, and not everything is consistent - but given it's volume,
and the number of people involved in creating it, it ain't bad. Thats all I
was saying :-)
