During Summit Deb and I followed around MVPs with our video camera, cornered them in beautiful locations around Campus, and asked them to tell us about their experience in the MVP program. I’ve shared some of that video with you already, but I put together this montage that I think highlights the relationship between MVPs and Microsoft really well

I was spending some time responding to Connect bugs the other day when I ran across this suggestion : “It would be nice to have a clip board history window that could be next to the control toolbox as a nice utility window. (Often in presentations I see Microsoft presenters using a custom clipboard tool for such a purpose). Many times I wish I could go back to something I copied & pasted just a few minutes ago, then to have to go and copy the same text all over again.” Turns out that Visual Studio already has this “hidden” feature.  It’s called the Clipboard Ring .  If you copy a number of items to the clipboard, pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[V] will paste the last text that was copied, but it will also highlight the pasted phrase.  Continue holding down [Ctrl]+[Shift] and press [V] again.  This will cause that highlighted section to cycle through the other items on the clipboard.  This is extremely useful when you have to copy multiple lines of separate text to a new document.  Now, you might be saying, “Great, but what if I want to save a piece of code that I use frequently in multiple places?  I don’t want to have to cycle through the clipboard ring every time.”  Well, there’s also a feature for that !  If you highlight a section of code (or text) and drag it to the Toolbox, VS will create a "snippet” (not to be confused with code snippets ) that can be dragged into the VS editor.

En numerosas ocasiones escuchamos a muchos clientes y usuarios las pocas posibilidades que a veces se tienen para hacer llegar información sobre comentarios y mejoras sobre nuestras aplicaciones al Grupo de Producto de Office. Bien pues en esta ocasión os ofrecemos una posibilidad única de poder participar en una muy completa encuesta que hemos elaborado con nuestros compañeros de dicho grupo y el de Office Online. La presente encuesta ha sido diseñada para recoger aparte de una serie de datos iniciales para conocer el entorno en el cual os movéis, tanto como empresa o usuarios, vuestros usos más frecuentes tanto en aplicaciones como en características específicas, a fin de conocer el tipo de perfil y facilitar las mejoras en los áreas de las tecnologías de edición, corrección, revisión de ortografía, gramática, el uso de diccionarios, tesauros, etc

We’ve posted an update to our sample pack at http://code.msdn.com/concrtextras for the release candidate of Visual Studio 2010. There’s a lot of good stuff from the team here including demos, concurrent data structures and additional parallel algorithms and helper functions. New Demos: There are 3 new demos in the sample pack: The parallel plug-in for excel we blogged about earlier is now available in the sample pack it’s a great example of how to use the PPL for financial applications and how to build an excel plug-in in C++.

No passado dia 10 de Fevereiro, durante o evento Road to SharePoint , foi apresentada oficialmente a Comunidade Portuguesa de SharePoint .
