"With the next round of Windows, which we call Longhorn, this idea of the completely new presentation system and the standard user interface guideline requiring that rich graphics capability will take a leap forward and fully exploit the extra graphics capabilities.

Statistically, I'll be dead just before my 78th birthday, which means that my oldest son's birthday (two days after I die) is not going to be a happy one (unless I've turned even more evil than I already am : ). Sorry, John...
As of today, the functionality of CollectionGen has been sucked into Eric Smith’s CodeSmith. I asked Eric to take on these features because CodeSmith does all of what CollectionGen does and more. All new feature requests/bug reports should go his way. Of course, feel free to continue to use CollectionGen as a model for VS.NET Custom Tools.
