Hey Paul, You are correct that there is a very large amount of work down here (or up, depends on where you are) with Government Departments. Unfortunately due to the panel arrangements that most of them have, you need to run through a recruitment company if you plan to pick up anything with them.

My copy of the book The .NET Developers Guide to Windows Security by Keith Brown was delivered this morning. Inspired by his tips on how to develop as a non-admin I thought I'd have another bash at it. I was going well until I tried to open a VS2010 solution with an ASP.NET project and I got the us

I just want to view PDF files, not edit them or annotate them or whatever, so PDF Exchange suits m

It's a known bug (I don't have the KB or connect link at hand). I believe it is due to roaming profiles (i.e. it can be worked around by not using roaming profiles). Why it wasn't fixed by the SP I don't know. I also am not sure if there is a good answer to get it to use the existing settings that

I've finally upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 and it all seems to be working well. I haven't had time to look into the snazzy new features yet, as I've been bogged down getting my hundred or so projects all upgraded and working. If anyone has favourite productivity tips and tricks for VS2010, let me

Foxit is good, but we had to stop using it as it doesn't open some PDFs (engineering plans we found were just refreshing constantly). Text/pictures were fine. PDF X-Change is great because it is quick and you can also do some markups on PDFs for free. On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 6:23 PM, Greg Keogh
