Kind of a weird question to ask on SO, but it is programming related, so hear me out!
I've been looking for a few months (with no results) for a video shown at a local Visual Studio 2010 launch event. The video was a high-production-value piece covering the history of Visual Studio from the early days up to the present. It was maybe 10 minutes long and featured blurbs from ScottGu and other product team members at Microsoft. Does anybody know if Microsoft posted this to Channel 9 or somewhere else? I don't even remember the actual title of the video, so I've had some trouble tracking it down.
Channel 9 is where such things would normally be found, together with much other Microsoft footage.
Here is part one, and here is part two.
this should be the page where all parts are visible

I'm trying to find a way to view the device log of a Windows 10 Mobile Device.
I have already searched my way through various forums but it seems to be very new topic not many have come across so far.
So my question is:
How do I do this?
I'm looking for something vaguely equivalent to Android Studio's Logcat.
I know my way around in Visual Studio, I hoped there would be some way to do it via the debug console, but as far as I know that thing is limited to the current app you are developing.
Any help would be nice. I'm kind of lost here.
Cheers.
Currently there is no equivalent of Logcat.
But I can advise you some alternatives:
1) Visual Studio Console: you can display information from the code directly on the Visual Studio console. To do it just add below line to the fragment of your code:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("This is information to be displayed on the VS Console...");
You can also change the color of the font:
a. For example for errors you can set it to be RED:
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
If you need some more complex solution you can try Microsoft HockeyApp.
With this tool you can measure performance of your app. Not only bugs but also how many users use your app (they can even contact you to report errors).

Third solutuion here is to use this official Logging APIs samples avilable on GitHub:

Hope this wil help you.
I don't know if this question is proper for stackoverflow or for other Stack site, so please migrate it to the correct place:)
I got VS 2013 Express Preview and after 15 days it expired. I have this message:
Where may I sign in to extend the license? I'm already signed in with my MS account(you can see the Sign out text in the lest). I tried to search on google, but most result are not related to VS 2013(other versions get in the way!). I read some blog posts about this but nothing got me to the right place.
Maybe you've already seen this but posting anyway:
Apparently there has been a bug related to the time zone that affected the license renewal. It could be that bug that makes it impossible to renew for you. A workaround is apparently to change the time zone to Pacific Standard Time before launching VS then changing it back again. This can be done in a command shell with:tzutil /s "Pacific Standard Time".
Hope this helps.
Okay so I am not sure if a lot of you have started to work on Microsoft Kinect for Windows that has been released in February 2012. I am trying to start developing and I wanted to know if there are any tutorials I can find on how to use the SDK or if someone can guide me How the RGB stream can be captured using the Kinect?
There are many tutorials. Some can be found at Channel 9's Kinect Quick Start Series , Channel 9 also has many articles on Kinect. All of the classes and variables found in the SDK can be found at MSDN, on Rob Relyea's Blog there are many tutorials. And if you ever are struggling, you can visit the Kinect Development Chatroom (assuming you have 20 rep).
Hope this helps!
Personally, I wouldn't start with Channel 9, or any tutorials for that matter. The most enjoyable way to jump into the Kinect and start messing around with stuff is to install the Developer Toolkit. It was update 3 days ago to include some really cool 3D point cloud stuff. Download/install the toolkit, run the Kinect Studio application it comes with, and spend some time checking out what the Kinect is capable of. If you see something of interest, install it to your computer and open it in Visual Studio. If you don't have Visual Studio, you can download the C# Express version for free. The source code is all very well commented and I find that's the best way to learn by example. You don't have to sit through Channel 9's sometimes painful videos or spend time reading a blog, you can just jump in and have fun with it. If you get stuck, then refer back to Channel9 or come back to Stack Overflow.
The best place to start learning is MSDN, and where you got the driver for kinect. They offer many tutorials and videos that explain most concepts for the kinect.
You can refer Kinect 1.0 for kinect for Windows SDk 1.0
Running into an issue with Team Foundation Server 2010 and I'm hoping someone in the community has come up with a solution I can add as a patch to the server.
We have 2-3x QA personnel on a project I'm on, and 1 of them is running TFS for bugs as you would expect... if she finds an issue and it's logged already, she moves on. The issue is that the rest of the IT Team is thinking she isn't doing anything, and I don't want an issue with her not getting her credit where it's due.
Is there anything around that I can plug into TFS 2010 that she can upvote the issue, so that she gets the credit for at least working on the bugs as well? Any advice would be great (may not be a Stackoverflow question, but in that case, let's get this over to Programmers or something similar where it belongs).
You can define a custom field in the TFS item template (i.e. a new drop-down) that can serve as an "upvoting" mechanism.
The issue with "upvoting" a bug is that it may be confused with its Priority. Additionally, it won't necessarily solve the problem of whether she gets credit or not (she could technically just go through the bug queue and upvote every item - doesn't mean that she found the bug herself). As an alternative (although not ideal), she could simply use the "Notes" tab in the TFS item to acknowledge that she came across the same issue.

Through work I have an Visual Studio Premium with MSDN subscription that I love. However, my biggest disappointment of the last 12 months was discovering that our 2nd from the top level subscription was not enough to get me Sketchflow!
This is, most decidedly, NOT SHINY, and I am borderline distraught! What are my options? Upgrading to an Ultimate subscription for Sketchflow is out of the question. Am I forced, then, to stay with Blend 3 or Purchase Blend 4 seperately?
If this is not a question I should ask here please inform and I'll delete. I just tend to default to SO for all questions that Google can't answer and Google did not answer this one.
We think too that is a very bad move from Microsoft. we hope that Microsoft will listen to customers and change this.
Related to SQLMenace's response -- You can only upgrade for $350 if you previously purchased Blend 3 at retail. If you spent thousands on MSDN Premium and got used to using Sketchflow with Blend 3, you don't have that option.
To the OP... You've been bait-and-switched. Your options are to purchase the full Expression Ultimate 4 ($600 USD at retail) or upgrade your MSDN license to Ultimate (for thousands more). Or stick with Blend 3 and not get the v4 features for working with the latest versions of Silverlight and WPF.
None of those options are great. I'm hoping the people in MSFT DevDiv who'd like to see Sketchflow get adopted have more clout than the marketing genius who thought this tiered approach would drive retail sales and/or MSDN Ultimate upgrades.
So do we wait for Microsoft to bow under the pressure of common sense or fork out the cash? Does anyone here have the power to speak to a product head at MS?
If your Expression Studio 3 is a retail version (i.e. not from MSDN subscription) you can upgrade to version 4 for absolutely nothing - read the How To Upgrade text on this page.
It's not blindingly obvious that you can upgrade for free given the upgrade option available for a fairly large fee. But there you go, it can be free.
By the way, I've done it, so I know it works.
Posted at MS Site:
I too am irritated by this. I'm a single programmer, no big company backing me up. I invested A LOT of money in MSDN Premium and I'm annoyed to no end that you took out this tool.
I have played with this tool in the past, and left it aside - too complex for me. Now I have gained a new passion for prototyping. After a day of research I decided to give Sketchflow a new chance. I've located a book (for the benefit of others: Dynamic Prototyping with SketchFlow in Expression Blend: Sketch Your Ideas...And Bring Them to Life! but be sure to obatin the corrected source from www.dynamic-prototyping.com ), tried to run a sample and presto - no Sketchflow.
So no worry: I've identified other tools in my research today (see http://imar.spaanjaars.com/545/sketch-and-prototype-tools-review-part-6-and-the-winner-is written by an MVP author). I'll start using the much cheaper, simpler, higher-praised (!-) Balsamiq Mockup. When you come to your senses and decide to become friends with your developers once more, please give me a call.
I looked I could get sketchflow with my WebSpark Account, but I only get the Web-Edition of Blend :-/
You can upgrade for about $350...which is way cheaper than MSDN
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Upgrade.aspx
The Expression team, according to Tim Heuer's blog, may offer an upgrade for $250 to the Premium subscribers.
The upgrade is being offered to Visual Studio 2010 with MSDN Premium subscribers for $249.95. There are similar deals being put into place for MSDN partners and for companies who purchased Visual Studio Premium through volume licensing.
