The Year 2000 Problem (Y2K) has been well documented in the mainstream and computer-trade press. While expected troubles in mainframe and embedded systems range from depending on the pundit global calamity to barely noticeable blips, the real effects on Microsoft tools and platforms have only now been documented. "Y2K Developer's Workshop for Microsoft Visual Studio" supplements the Microsoft Y2K Web site and other educational efforts to ensure that Microsoft systems continue to operate well into the next millennium. Since most Microsoft software is already Year 2000 (Y2K) aware and compliant, issues detailed in this book-and-CD set fall into two broad categories: compliant with minor issues and not compliant. Each of these exceptions to full compliance is thoroughly explained, with instructions on how to ensure compliance and use the necessary service packs or patches included on a companion CD. Also on the CD are white papers, pertinent journal articles and demonstration versions of sniffer tools that check files for Y2K compatibility.
