Snowboard Therapy and .NET Project Templates
If you haven't tried Snowboard Therapy - I highly recommend it...Here's how it works - you simply tell your boss or clients that you are going to Snowboard Therapy. By the time they realize what it means you will be half way down from Peak #8
Ok, on a more serious note - is it just me or do others think it would be valuable for Microsoft to invest more time in making Project Templates easier to make? What do I mean by a project template? The process of starting a new project from visual studio and having VS create a set of initial files and directories for you.
Now that .NET is a couple years old - we all should have some fairly routine things we do when we start new projects - We also should be able to easily create page / class templates that allows us to produce consistent looking pages / classes. I think we all customize the “basic” web form - why not make it easier to do than figure out what files to modify in the VC#wizards directory.
For those of you who have never dived into the black hole of templates here's a recent article that discusses it that reminded me how much of a black hole it really is! http://aspalliance.com/309
