I tend to use VS2008, however I ran into a problem the exes don't run on Win2000 so I am using VS2005. Why do I have to support stuff that is found in the back of a storage in deepest darkest China! (also Mexico) :omg:

908 - I could ask a programming question :) My point, other than to rant, why change a functional development model when all your doing is confusing the existing customer base? For what elephanting purpose are you doing this? end_rant <-- forgot that. Eventually I figures this out, but if there is NO functional difference to your changes, WTF are you doing changing it?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how come you're (still) using VS2008? /ravi

And I thought you were an experienced developer in the MS space. there are a few more you are going to have to learn! Why change the functionality for no reason other than the break compatibility with a prior version? Why inflict the bloody ribbon on the world? Why deprecate a perfectly viable technology?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

You're gonna love VS2015! (at least when you start using it in 2023) :laugh:
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Solutions are a good idea - they are "meta projects" where a number of projects are gathered together into a single solution. Basically, a Project generates an assembly, a Solution generates a collection of Assemblies that make up a whole application. So you can have a Project for each of your DL, BL, and PL for example, and a Solution for your whole application. Then when you retarget the DL from SQL server to a Cloud based DB, and redesign the PL for a Windows Surface say, you can create a new Solution, with a brand new PL, a new DL, and including the original BL project. Any changes to you make to the BL are reflected in both applications when they are next built.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Not a stupid question :) Simple answer: embedded development environment.

DL - database layer, BL - business logic, PL - hmmm. Okay, that sort of makes sense. Coming from embedded other tools - we have projects and subprojects, or dependencies, etc. Never considered that sort of arrangement.

PL - Presentation Layer. The bit that is specific to the user interface for a particular application / environment. You might have the same DL and BL with different PL for WinForms and website for example.

I actually like the Solution with projects model. It has a lot more flexibility over the older concept. Were I still working on CE, I'd campaign to update to Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
