development tools for professional teams

[Brian Henry]

We just decided to take our application we've created at work into a real
world development situation, with teams. Currently all we use is Visual
Source Safe, however; I'd like to know of some tools you guys depend on also
so we can get an idea of what tools other people use too in the team
environment to help them conduct business. So we have an idea of what you
guys use with VB.NET (which is what we code in) that maybe we could find
useful also. Thanks a lot! (we also use SQL Server 2000 incase you have any
neat tools for that also)

Personally, I'm looking forward to Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition.

Here's more information:

It sounds like the holy grail we've all been waiting for. Then again, you
know how effective Microsoft's marketing team can be! So I hope it lives up
to the hype.
