 Welcome Minimize

Welcome to my new online home. This website is 100% dedicated to the "Visual Studio 2008 Team System Database Edition GDR" product, also known or maybe better known as the "DataDude" project. The objective of this website is to provide detailed information about the "Visual Studio Team System Database Edition" product. Since there are no books or many other resources available besides the MSDN documentation and MSDN forum I thought this could fill that gap.

All opinions and information expressed on this website are my own and do not state or reflect those of my employer, Microsoft Corporation, and do not reflect any product direction or commitment .

I hope you find it useful.
-GertD the "DataDude"
