CodeSmith 2.5 is available, and although I've mentioned it in a few articles on MSDN already, I have to tell you again... I use this utility all the time. It is fairly obvious, if you look at the code from any one of my articles, that I use Code Smith to generate my strongly typed collections in almost every single project. What isn't obvious is...

I'm just playing around with an internal application, just a tool that hits our internal web services for article ratings (you know, the little box that says "7 out of 9" next to MSDN articles...) and displays the results in a grid. Well, there are a lot of things I've been hoping to add to the Windows Forms Data Grid, and while I've done quite a...

Shaykat, a PM on the C# Team, has been posting some great tips on VS.NET 2003 so I thought I would collect them here for your linking pleasure; Tip #1: Stop the solution explorer flashiness when opening a project! Tip #2: Macros Tip #3: View exception information with $exception Tip #4: Demo better with the toolbox and task list Tip #5:...

A few team members have blogged about this already, but here I go again... Unit testing is a method of testing individual software components. Each function in every class is tested to make sure it does its job correctly, with the hope that if everything works correctly by itself, higher level problems will be less common or much easier to debug...

Ok... so I'm biased here, Pedro used to be my grand-boss at MSDN, and now works on some very cool and very graphical magic as part of the Whitehorse team... but on the side it appears he has been developing some Windows Forms controls, so I would suggest you check them out; This ControlLibrary contains subclassed WinForms controls that I've been...

Check it out here In this fifth installment of the article series we're going to examine graphs. Graphs are composed of a set of nodes and edges, just like trees, but with graphs there are no rules for the connections between nodes. With graphs, there is no concept of a root node, nor is there a concept of parents and children. Rather, a graph is...
