Actually, I think you probably should watch it. I find VBTV very amusing. : )

Michael Weinhardt and Chris Sells plumb the depths of .NET’s regular expression engine.

Scancode Mapper is a GUI tool for setting the Scan Code Mapper for Windows Registry settings for Win2K+:

As an example of what this tool does to the Registry, this .reg file turns off the CapsLock key. Of course, changing scancode mappings is a risky business, so be sure of what you’re doing before committing the changes and restarting Windows. No warranties extended. Use at your own risk. Enjoy. : )

From Bernard Vander Beken: From the readme: "This is the second major release of the xUnit based unit testing tool for Microsoft .NET. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities." "In the next few weeks we will be formulating the next release trying to incorporate as many requests as possible."

From Bernard Vander Beken: From the release notes of this unit testing framework: "This barring any unforeseen new critical bugs will be the last V2.0 release candidate. We will not be adding any additional features until V2.0 is released which we expect now to be sometime around 26 September, 2002."

I built the TAPI Explorer (tExplorer) to allow me to understand the various capabilities of the telephony devices installed on my system when I was developing TAPI applications and writing my TAPI book. It grew into a utility for showing all line, address and phone capabilities as well as other TAPI settings, e.g. country codes, telephony locations, service providers, etc. If you’re running into TAPI errors that you don’t understand, TAPI Explorer will help you work through them.

This version has been run and tested on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP and supports TAPI versions 1.4 through 3.1.

"Microsoft XML Diff and Patch is a set of tools for comparison of two XML documents and application of the changes (patching). XML Diff detect addition, deletion and other changes between two XML documents. It also detects structural changes like a move of a XML subtree. It produces Xml Diff Language Diffgram (XDL diffgram or just diffgram) that describes the differences between the two XML documents. The diffgram can be then used to display these differences or to perform a patch operation using the XML Patch tool." I know that this tool has been sorely needed in the XML community for a while and now MS has released one.
