All I can say is: FINALLY! MS is finally going to provide some boiler plate process tools and directions.

I suggest watching all the video demos.

Testing out Sauce Reader
I'm trying out sauce reader's posting capabilities. So far its pretty impressive.
Note to self. Read more about this.

Looks like some interesting things in COM+ 1.5

Chiming in on the C# coding standards.

Lance has posted a nice little tidbit on C# coding standards here.

I pretty much concur with the coding style that Lance has put forth in his coding standards document. I have a possible suggestion about how to deal with constants. Consider creating a static class (could be nested) to contain your constants. Given this “grouping” if you will of constants I would prefer to name the constants using the Pascal case rather than all caps. Here is an example:

public class Constants
{
    // Make this class static.
    private Constants() {}
    public const string AppName = "MyApp";
    ...

}

I'm not suggesting that you put all of your constants in a single class, just simply place them into logical groupings. From the code window usage standpoint they tend to feel more like enums then. P.S. 9 times out of 10 if you are using numeric constants they can be converted to enums.
