If you haven't done .NET yet because your company hasn't upgraded to VS.NET or you don't want to spend the money if you're not going to like it, you can get a 60-day eval copy in exchange for giving up some personal details.

Eric Smith has integrated his CodeSmith code-generation tool directly into VS.NET. Very nice.

From Colin: NUnitAsp is a tool for automatically testing ASP.NET web pages. It's an extension to NUnit, a tool for test-driven development in .NET.

A VS.NET add-in that provides the following C# refactoring operations: -Encapsulate Field -Extract Method -Inline Temp -Introduce Explaining Variable -Move Method new -Rename Field -Rename Method -Rename Property -Rename Local Variable -Rename Parameter -Replace Magic Number with Symbolic Constant -Replace Temp with Query It seems to be implemented in Java and then ported to .NET via J# and the web site has the coolest little visitor counter control.

An interview of Peter Hallam, the dev. lead for the C# compiler. Most of the interview covers stuff you're likely to already know, e.g. the design goals for C# and the CLR, etc, but Mr. Hallam does spend some time talking about generics and his opinion on mono (he likes it).

Oh man, I *so* want one of these, but I can't decide whether to get the 15" one and use it as a monitor as well as a tablet, get the 8" for cuddling up to in bed or something in the middle! Also, does anyone know if these things support the same software as a TabletPC? They certainly should.

From Shawn Wildermuth: Chris has a new article up on http://ONDotNet.com on Hosting your Windows Forms controls in COM Containers? Wouldn't you love to use the DataGrid inside your MFC project?

Eric Gunnerson discusses the basics of .NET stream-based I/O. Not very deep, but I'm still surprised at how few .NET programmers understand how streams work.
