Just went to a class at TechEd on C# IDE enhancements for VS 2005 and loved it. I had already seen about 80% of it being on the Whidbey Alpha, but there were some more really cool things in there. Again I was reminded seeing the property generation code snippet that I think it's silly to have to specify a field name AND a property name. Since code snippets are just xml files, you can go in and change it yourself. Here's how I changed mine...(located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Expansions\1033\Expansions\property.xml” taken from the Code node in the xml

Well, we're half way done with TechEd and it's been pretty groovy so far. I've met sooooo many people (old and new) that I'm not going to list any, but everyone has been great to talk to, geek out with, etc. The Cabana for me as someone on staff has been unfortunately disappointing. I just had my first question today (I wasn't even working, just stopped by to find someone) and unfortunately couldn't answer it. Otherwise it's mostly just been mingling with Microsoft employees and other “industry experts” (i.e. geek talk and xbox). That aside, I think the Cabana's are

Well, I'm here. The trip was a bit choppy, but not too bad (had a DVD player to watch on the plane). I'm sitting here in the Developer Tools Cabana here at TechEd 2004. If you're one of the attendees today, feel free to drop by and say hello! :)

First off, I love the new icons in the WinHec Preview of LongHorn...very cool. However, I'm wondering about the “Music” icon. Is it just me or does it seem like not such a good idea to use a CD case with a CD coming out of it? It looks really cool, but with more and more people buying music online or whatever in some digital format (and the fact that LongHorn won't be out for so long) doesn't something more general like a music note or whatever make more sense than a CD? I'm sure my kids (don't have any

I just posted a new “article” on some things I've been playing around with in using Custom Attributes in an ASP.NET Project. http://weblogs.asp.net/eporter/articles/CustomAttributesInWebProject.aspx

I've been working on a project pretty hard lately and after hearing Tom's presentation at our User Group meeting last month, I've been having Attributes spinning through my head. Now granted, what I'm about to talk about is nothing very advanced, but it seems pretty cool to me and a way to better organize things. The first thing that came to mind were Titles of Pages. It's typically something you set and you're done with it. Sometimes it needs to be dynamic, sometimes not. In most of my projects, I have some more of BasePage Class where I render skinning
