I definitely prefer spaces. Too many tools assume tab=8 spaces.

I started out using VC 9 (2008), and everything works fine except you need to include the merge modules from VC 9 for the runtime (and it has to be the merge modules, including the files by themselves doesn't work right).
I went back to VC 8 to keep compatible with what others are using for PgAdmin.
Hi, I know that last year I tried to capture coding standard for new code, then I create a wiki at postgresql, probably is not 100% accurate but it can be used as a start for the creation of the project standard for codification.
url:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgAdmin_Internals#Coding_Style Here too, it's the location to explain the process (and problems and solutions) of compiling pgAdmin with different versions of VC++ or other operative systems and/or compilers.
