    It can easily be made using the good old copy con command: c:\sob\csmf\pos\analpore>copy con: .wtf you are a useless pos ^Z 1 file(s) copied. etc. :)

    Yes, it does happen, however, it does not allow you when you try to create directly through Windows Explorer. As it allows, it definately does not look like an OS Restriction :)

      Today I found another VS bug. Again present in both VS2008 and VS2010 flavors. :sigh: Not that it is a bad bug, it is purely cosmetic, but you would expect a company like MS to be professional and to find and fix a bug in the last 4 or more years (perhaps it does the same on older VS too, I dont have any to test with). Anyways, the bug: Open any file whose (file)name starts with a . (a full-stop, eg .wtf). :doh: PS: I tried to find a report on the MS Connect site, but found no results. I could report this bug, but like MS I can't be bothered. Update: Here is what I and some of the others are seeing. The tooltip shows the correct text. http://i.imgur.com/zDUKB.png[^]

      Are you referring to the bug where the filename does not appear in the tab(only the path)? Maybe they are using some open source code in there and it is respecting the fact that on Linux, files with names starting with "." are considered "hidden" files.

        Of course, you could just name files like normal people, and avoid this problem altogether.

                You need to spell this bug out a bit more. I have Visual C++ 2010 Express and can open similarly named files with no problems.

                It's time for a new signature.

                      as a developer, you would have to. It is an essential part of testing. :)

                                    I think it means hidden file in *nux

                                    Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost
