Microsoft cracking down on community extensions

lovethedot.blogspot.com — Microsoft released a tool called Microsoft Source Analyzer, or StyleCop. It analyzes source code for standards violations. It's a 1.0 release, so it doesn't do some things ... like have a published API for custom rules or MSBuild integration. So the community dug in and figured out how to do these things and now MS is firing off license-violation emails. Don't they get it?

CodeProject: The WPF Podcatcher Series - Part 2 (Structural Skinning).

codeproject.com — About two months ago I unveiled a pet project of mine, named Podder. It is an audio podcast player (a.k.a. podcatcher) built in WPF.
