Atif Aziz built a generic VS.NET code generator shim that allows you to build a code generator that plugs into VS.NET by implementing a single method. Cool.
By request, O'Reilly and Assoc. has posted the Format Specifiers appendix from C# in a Nutshell by Drayton et al. It's a wonderful reference to the String.Format/ToString format specifiers that I'm constantly searching for on MSDN. Thanks, ORA!
You haven't lived 'til you've had Don Box call you at home to sing you the fresh lyrics from a new parody to be performed by the Band on the Runtime at the next major MS event. PDC is going to rock.
If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out Magic: The User Interface Library for .NET. It's got a ton of the UI stuff you always want, e.g. docking windows, menus with graphics, control styles and tons more. And the price is right -- it's free!
BTW, there is some overlap in the UI department with Genghis [1], but Genghis has some other non-UI stuff worth checking out, too.

"Of course, there is the question of whether this book will actually improve your .NET development skills, but in riposte, you can honestly say that no volume details the CLR and its potential so well, and that this alone is worth the book's cover price."
With the support for scripting built into .NET [1], I'm surprised it took this long for someone to rebuild the COM-based Active Scripting for .NET (although I wish it'd been us and that it was free : ).
