.NET Framework Configuration Tool (Mscorcfg.msc)
Just want to configurate the runtime security policy for one of my WinForm 2.0 product under a client environment, but I can't find the .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration tool in the Administrative Tools menu... I can see the same tool for .NET Fx 1.1, but where's the one for .NET Fx 2.0?

2 loss to community
1. Just heard an exciting news that a friend of mine will join the local MS office next month, I'm happy that he share this piece of news with me last Friday, I know his new job must be challenging and I'm sure we still can work together closely for the local user group and community stuffs. OTOH, due to the independence of user groups / communities, he'll resign from the executive board because he'll become a MSFTer... Anyway, good luck for his new job, but a loss to the user groups / communities.

Is your VS2005 project "clean"?

The Binding Handle is Invalid in VS 2005 Resolved
I tried to run one of my WinForm 2.0 solution in my home machine tonight, but a confusing error message displayed when I pressed the F5 button: "Unable to attach debugger. The binding handle is invalid"... What's the binding handle in VS2005? I did a quick search on the product feedback site and luckily, I found the resolution at here.

Community Server 2.0 Beta 1 is darn cool
Rob announced the release of CS 2.0 Beta 1 few days ago.. and this project is amazing!
A very cool set of new features, and the integration of ComponentArts controls are awesome (My favourites: slider for paging, splitter for screen layout, double click and modal dialog for posting...etc)
I played with it for few hours yesterday and can't wait to upgrade one of the local community site later. :)

Errors in using BackgroundWorker Component in WinForm 2.0 Development
I'm doing the multithreading programming for a data access / retrieval process in one of my WinForm 2.0 application this morning, the introduction of a new multithread component - BackgroundWorker - is excellent!
It's much simpler as in WinForm 1.0 dev (no more manual delegation), and this component expose events: DoWork, ProgressChanged and RunWorkerCompleted. What we have to do is to trigger the RunWorkerAsync method, update the ProgressBar control in the ProgressChanged event (most of the cases), and then finish up all works in the RunWorkerCompleted event. Yes, the name of these events explains its usage already, and VS2005 also provides a thread-safe (read more...) dev environment / notification for you throughout the dev process.
However, what I got suck is the WorkerReportsProgress and WorkersSupportCancellation properties... I prepared the module and ready to run, but the result is not what I expect. I tried to debug it and caught this exception:
The WorkerReportsProgress and WorkersSupportCancellation properties need to be config as True if you want to report a progress state or break the asyn call during execution. Well, and the default values are False... :S

Just received an email this morning about my request to join the DotText project... (Well, I really forgot when did I request to join this GDN workspace... hmm... most probably in 2003 as I firstly try the pre-.Text version 0.93 back in 2003)
