Is Visual Studio 2005 a bug release or what?

Regions that relocate themselves in the source when the - icon is used to
contract a region?

Regions that decide they want to indent themselves?

When it is selected the + icon just decides to disappear and regions can no
longer be expanded or contracted?

This occurs in both HTML and code-behind.

I can't access MSDN Product Feedback either -- after logging in with my
passport the application keeps redirecting to my user profile page.

there was a lenghty debate about that started Dec 1st by Rob Dob.

It's funny, you have errors with regions (I don't), and I have problems with
faulty errors being reported. But I'm still able to do all my work
(although I'm only using it on side projects, so deadlines don't exist).

By the way, have you noticed that the Website Administration Tool and other
2.0 controls that write to the database no longer record entries into SQL
Server using system time?

My system time is GMT (-06:00) Central Time and all records are entered 6
hours into the future so an offest is imposed.

I see two problems with this bullsh!t, well three...

1.) I am niave about the way things work but always thought system time was
the way things worked.
2.) There's no way to really know which offset to use.
3.) We have to write more code but if we do not know which offset to use
there is no way to know how to write the code.

To me -- and I may not know any better yet -- this is FUBAR.

It sounds like it stores dates as UTC time, which is a (Microsoft)
recommended practice. Then you can can convert to a local time,
depending on who you are displaying the date to (and where they are).

You do not need to know the offset, and there really isn't a lot of code
to write. If you know a DateTime value holds a UTC time (which we
suspect is the case here), then you can call ToLocalTime() to get the
time with the appropriate offset (based on your time zone) applied.
