  • Intellisense in the Immediate Window

    I just read where we now have Intellisense in the Debug|Immediate window with v 1.2.  Too cool.  I have had this on my wish list for quite some time. 

  • Passing data between logical tiers

    My thing today is questioning the typical model of passing data between logical tiers as result sets, xml, arrays, strings, etc.  This Microsoft article does a nice job outlining other options.

  • Boxing and collections

    Standard, out of the box .NET collections store references of type System.Object.  We have a structure that we add to a collection.  We add approx 2500 structure types to this collection.

  • First borns name

    I come from a vb background.  I am the classic business dude who later in life developed an interest in programming.  I guess I am a Mort, although I truly do not know the definition of a mort.  Unlike a Mort though, I am more of a 'why and how does this work', so I love vb.net, however I like to dig into the framework and the internals of what .net is doing for me. 

  • I have been quiet...

    I have not blogged here in a while, nor have I blogged on my personal site.  Why, two-fold.  One, I just hired a .net developer and I have been very busy with ramp up and training.  Hopefully, he will be blogging here soon, Bill Sanders.
