  My home office Exchange server crashed in September and while the server has been replaced, I really don't want to re-install Exchange on it unless I absolutely have to.

  I just looked over the DevTeach session schedule and it looks incredibly juicy. I LOVE DevTeach! But I was curious to see a few sessions which were the same as last year.

• dlThisPost.EditItemIndex = -1

  This is an unfocused post on my last couple of days putting together a datalist with oncommand events. Do people use these a lot?
