on a related note, c#2.0 brought in StopWatch which is handy for just measuring timer. not a replacement for what you mention here but useful all the same.

okay list, terrible stylesheet on the site. could barely read it. blue on black is nothing as easy on the eye as black on white...

It's something very simple that's hard to understand at first. Think of a superb OOD framework that falls flat because it ignores distribution. For instance it makes web client developers happily fall into only writing asynchronous calls through a messaging (MSMQ or WCF) Bus and thus getting the benefits of publish/subscribe pattern. It's not going to be easy to explain here, but might start putting more on sourceforge when/if I start using it. Talking with Udi tomorrow on potential implementation. There's not much on it as it's only just become open source, though it is mature technology.

good point but not exactly news, been in Team System since release. If it is news to anyone, they might also want to check out TeamSideKicks for who has what code checked out. Handy little tool. http://www.attrice.info/downloads/index.htm

meant to say it's similar to trick for quickly debugging in various browsers, start in default browser and then say open same url in opera.

another reason to move to a web project. thanks though, was about to embark on this by trial and error, you surely saved me some bother.

and a few more on how alt.net is a state of mind rather than a stack of tools...
