URL Rewriting with ASP.NET

"As more and more websites are being rewritten with ASP.NET, the old sites which had been indexed by google and linked from other sites are lost, inevitably culminating in the dreaded 404 error. I will show how legacy ASP sites can be upgraded to ASP.NET, while maintaining links from search engines."

Library for reading CLI files

"This library has been implemented to provide access to the raw format of CLI files. The library is still under development, so you can find some problem in its use. The library has been developed using CLI standard documentation. Because fast access to files is a goal I use memory mapping in order to have fast access to the file."

GACUtil Add-In

From Harry Pierson: I needed a simple way to invoke GACUtil as a custom build step. Utility makefiles were clunky, NAnt was too extensive (but cool) and the BuildRules sample wasn't quite extensive enough. So I built my own.

Safe, Simple Multithreading in Windows Forms

Chris Sells: "It all started innocently enough. I found myself needing to calculate the area of a circle for the first time in .NET. This called, of course, for an accurate representation of pi. System.Math.PI is handy, but since it only provides 20 digits of precision, I was worried about the accuracy of my calculation (I really needed 21 digits to be absolutely comfortable). So, like any programmer worth their salt, I forgot about the problem I was actually trying to solve and I wrote myself a program to calculate pi to any number of digits that I felt like."
