I got all psyched for this and registered, but just get an error message
when I hit the Microsoft Connect site. Error: The page you have requested is unavailable or you do not have access. Anyone else getting that message? [quoted text, click to view] "Carlos J.

What are the book(s) called?
If anyone does successfully register and get a download, could they please
post-back that they did? (O)enone and I both registered and just get an error page when connecting to the Microsoft Connect site... [quoted text, click to view] "Carlos J.

Carlos,
I must be missing something, I've received the email, followed the steps and all i get is access to a bunch of icons. Is it not suppose to be on the same "page" as where we download these icons?

I bet you're right...I do use Firefox also...
Bummer, I can't get around the error... IE also brings up the same error. Fudge.

Thanks for the idea and help... Sadly, New to Microsoft Connect does not
appear there for me... :( [quoted text, click to view] "Carlos J.

Instead, it wants me to register in something called "Microsoft Connect", then refuses my attempts claiming "The email address you entered is already in use" and refuses to let me proceed. If I hit "Cancel" on the registration page, I get the page showing available *beta test* programs, and again, no benefits. Do you know of anybody I can contact via email or telephone to resolve this? It's no mystery that my email addresses (tried both), as I'm a MSDNAA Administrator, beta tester in several programs and an MVP.
Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that if you have registering Visual Studio 2005 finally has some benefits. You can get electronic PDF books about Visual Studio 2005 and some other stuff. For example, the updated book "Working with Visual Studio 2005" by Craig Skibo and others (previously "Inside Visual Studio .NET 2003"), is finally accesible for registered users (MSDN subscribers at least). As you may know, this book is not on sale (a MS Press decision) and previously you needed to buy a boxed copy of VS 2005 to get it in the package. Now the book is available in PDF format registering your copy of VS 2005. There is also another book about Visual Studio 2005 Team System. - The registration benefits are described at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/regbenefits/ - To actually register your copy, open VS 2005, click the "Help" \ "Register Product." menu, receive an e-mail and follow the steps. This time it works (some weeks ago some books were missing), I got my copy. Best regards, Carlos J.

I got the error page several times, then suddenly the download links appeared. Not a good advertisement for the technology :-( But at least they appeared eventually :-) Tim "Application Blocks" for .NET 2.0 http://www.itwriting.com/blog/?postid=293
Hi Brett,
Of course I did before posting.... Can you try the following? - Go to http://connect.microsoft.com/ - Click on the "My participation" link to the left (or similar, I get a localized Spanish page) - Sign Up in the "New to Microsoft Connect" zone - Repeat the VS 2005 registration -- Best regards, Carlos J.

I am not sure what's going on, but using IE 6.0 and having got VS 2005
through an MSDN subscription it worked for me... -- Best regards, Carlos J.
