Did you ever have a problem with referencing a assembly with Visual Studio? Visual Studio .NET 2003 "usually" updates the reference to the assembly if a new version of the assembly is available.
With Visual Studio 2005 it can be configured if the reference should be updated automatically to the current version, or if a reference should be fixed with one version:
I like this new feature :-)

Do you have something to talk about at TechEd Europe? Submit a BOF session at http://www.ineta.org/Bof.
There are already three proposals where you can give your votes:
- MSF and MOF, what's in it for me?
- MS Patterns & Practices - are they relevant to me?
- Now what are they going to do to my VB?
More about BOF in my previous note and in Tim Sneath's blog.

Don Box would like to remove SOAPSUDS.EXE from your laptop ;-)
He has some good information about The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly about .NET Remoting.

Are you attending TechEd Europe? I have a presentation about localization and globalization of .NET applications:
Creating a Klingon Culture
I already had a Klingon sample to extend resources with help of a custom resource reader:
nuqneHdir and Qapla'
This time I will go further and have a deeper look into how to extend localization and globalization features. Of course I will also show .NET 2.0 changes. What are your issues with localization / globalization?
BTW, you can nominate a topic for Birds of Feather. See more about this here and in Tim Sneath's blog.

The last chapter of my upcoming book is a case study that includes a complete solution with multiple projects. The scenario of this case study includes multiple cooperating companies.
- Data access classes that use ADO.NET for invoking stored procedures in SQL Server
- Serviced components that makes use of the data access classes
- A Windows Forms application as a client-front end to access the serviced components
- A Web service that's used by the "partner" company
- Queued components for disconnected access
- A Web application as front end for end users
Now I'm going back to my earlier chapters to work through the comments of my reviewers :-)
Here are the other chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

INETA Europe is running Birds of a Feather (BOF) this year at TechEd Europe!
INETA was already running the Birds of a Feather at PDC 2003, and it's running at DevConnections in Orlando and TechEd in San Diego.
The BOF is not a presentation; it is a community-driven discussions/debates around a particular issue. There is no speaker - just a moderator for the topic and everyone is encouraged to participate and to discuss the topic at hand.
Are you attending TechEd Europe? Do you have a topic of interest? Do you want to be a moderator? Go the the INETA BOF site, select TechEd Europe and submit a topic!
INETA volunteers - UG leaders - are you interested helping out with BOF? Please contact Damir Tomicic!

In chapter 14 I'm comparing .NET Enterprise Services technologies with Web serivces specifications. Often there is a good match between these two technologies looking at
Discussing these specifications I'm also giving some first impressions of Indigo, and how the move to Indigo could be done with serviced components.
If the Enterprise Services functionality helps, programming .NET Enterprise Services today is the best way to be prepared for Indigo :-)

I never thought that I would get that many responses to my blog Microsoft to remove the Calculator from Windows.
Thousands of hits with my blog entry, and it is discussed around the world. Google didn't know about Nisbum and Repeou before my blog, now there are many hits.
Blogs about it:
Forums:
And more:
I guess I should write more fun-blogs ;-)
