The new colors largely reflect the color scheme associated with the new MSDN and Visual Studio brand changes. As we look forward, the goal is to move the Dev Centers to a closer alignment with Microsoft products, since the centers are really an extension of the<span style="color:#1f497d">se</span> products.

We’ve received feedback from some folks that the animations are distracting, and have already taken action on this over the past weekend. The first change we made is to turn off animation for the new video scroller (10/18).

Will it be migrated to VS.100 pages or will it be visible only on VS.90 pages and getting obsolete?</strong> <br/> As many of contributions are valid for more than one version of Visual Studio I like them to be migrated, copied or somehow made visible from VS.100 pages.<hr class="sig">Đ.Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:08:45 Z2009-11-21T00:08:48Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/31ead2a4-8c95-48ac-9ead-1e801a5223cdhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/31ead2a4-8c95-48ac-9ead-1e801a5223cdPletzkyhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=PletzkyFeatureRotator?The new site (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx</a>) uses what I'm guessing is a component to scroll between a few highlights.  Right now it's scrolling through Silverlight, MVC, and Azure.  It might be a simple one-time javascript project, but in that case it should be turned INTO a component!  It appears to be called &quot;FeatureRotator&quot;.  Is that a component that is available to the rest of us?  It doesn't look particularly difficult to write, but I hate reinventing the wheel!  Anyone know anything about it?<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/>Brad.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:14:07 Z2009-11-20T17:14:09Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/fdaeda63-5114-4bb5-b7d5-1d8806cd964ahttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/fdaeda63-5114-4bb5-b7d5-1d8806cd964amarielyne metivierhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=marielyne%20metivierinternet freezingyes<br/>run slow dont have place ,dont no how to doo it.<br/>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:50:40 Z2009-11-17T19:32:50Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/d0193a93-20d1-4e5e-9125-4177363fd918http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/d0193a93-20d1-4e5e-9125-4177363fd918p-celejhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=p-celejLicensing MSDN contentHi,<br/> <br/> I'm developing new documentation generator for .NET applications/libraries (successor of the NDoc), because the output that my tool produces is very close to the content of MSDN library, when documenting a member of type that inherits from type that forms .NET framework there is a need to put some description of this member in class/structure member listing. Take for instance the System.Object class, every class derives from this class, if I want to generate documentation for any class, in addtition to documenting members of this class I also have to put the &lt;summary&gt; tag [1] of methods such as ToString(), GetHashCode(), etc. in type's member listing. I had decided to write a tool that uses MTPS content web service [2] and collects short ID (for example hxz0dezc for System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType Enumeration), caption (OleDbType), DocId (T:System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType) and the &lt;summary&gt; tag (&quot;Specifies the data type of a field, a property, for use in an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.oledb.oledbparameter(VS.80).aspx">OleDbParameter</a> .&quot;) for all namespaces/types/members for .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, Silverlight 3 frameworks. After days of swearing, praying and debbuging I have successfully written a tool that meets my needs and stores the shortID, caption, DocId, and the summary tag for all namespaces/types/members of specified framework into a SQLite database, so that my generator can quickly look up desired type or member and put the &lt;summary&gt; tag from .NET framework type/member in type's member listing.<br/> <br/> But the one question arises now, will I violate MSDN library licensing rules if I distribute previously mentioned content along with my application ?<br/> <br/> Thanks in advance.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ast78ax.aspx<br/> [2] http://services.msdn.microsoft.com/ContentServices/ContentService.asmx<br/> [3] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.remoting.channels.itransportheaders.getenumerator%28VS.80%29.aspxWed, 28 Oct 2009 14:22:49 Z2009-11-17T19:22:12Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/7133dd1c-7a6a-4488-ad11-20405a40cbcchttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/7133dd1c-7a6a-4488-ad11-20405a40cbccscorpion007http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=scorpion007MSDN Font too small (unreadable) on Firefox.I'm on FF 3, and the page is unreadable on default settings.

I want the msdn forums site to improve and that's why I'm making this suggestion. My example: I can say 'know' about WinForms, Asp.net, WCF, C# and vb.net, msbuild and a few other stuff. But when do I get on the msdn forum? whenever I'm having a problem. When I'm stuck I get in the appropriate forum and search for a solution to my problem and if nothing showed up I'd enter a question. My questions are always responded by some MSFT moderator, so it's pretty mush always the right solution. But, what I don't do, is going thru each of theses forums watching what are people asking. Maybe I could give a fast response to someone but I don't, cause I'd have to dedicate all my time to do that. So, where is stackoverflow.com different? Every single question is on the home page (as they enter). They have these tag which you can kinda subscribe to, so whenever a question of one of your tags is made that question appears in a different color and I know that is gonna be of my interest. Maybe I could go ahead and post a question or just keep it under the radar. If the msdn site had something like that we (the community) could give answers quickly and no ' moderators' would be needed. Better yet, the stackoveflow site accept only whoever asks the question to mark the answer. The msdn site could allow moderators to also mark the answer (or something like that) Anyway, just a suggestion.<hr class="sig">http://sgomez.blogspot.comFri, 13 Nov 2009 11:37:02 Z2009-11-13T11:37:03Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/d6b6272b-7eb1-4c7f-8e3a-0ea5834a8e33http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msdnfeedback/thread/d6b6272b-7eb1-4c7f-8e3a-0ea5834a8e33Lindsay Mileshttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Lindsay%20MilesMSDN Subscriptions - feeling short-changed<div class=body> <p>I subscribe to MSDN Professional as I am self-employed and that is what my budget dictates.</p> <p>Microsoft should offer their COMPLETE set of development tools and not peace-meal. That means as developers, tools that integrate with VS2008 should be INCLUDED in the MSDN Professional package, like Expression Blend for intance.</p> <p>How can MS put out tools that go together and make development that much more &quot;streamlined&quot; from design through to delivery and NOT include a tools like Blend for Silverlight?</p> <p>Sorry, feeling rather short-changed by MS right now and I'm sure others feel the same on different tools. I don't need Team Suite and Visio etc etc that is in Premium but at least complete the basic toolset in the Professional Edition.</p> <p>Microsoft, show just a lttle respect for the 1000s of developers that DO subscribe to your product libraries and make more complete packages conducive to a full dev. setup and not continually expect more $$ around EVERY corner.  Another $1300 more for a Premium subscription that I don't need...just for the Expression tools which, in my opinion SHOULD go along with Visual Studio?
