Whidbey will kill Strongly Typed Collection generator

My Strongly Typed Collection generator becomes useless with Whidbey. My generator produces more or less 200 lines of code. In Whidbey they becomes:

class MyClasses : List<MyClass>
{
}

Pretty simple, not ?

Actually, it'll still be useful for those of us who can't use Whidbey yet. :-)

Well, It is because of generics. But I am still using your generator and I think it is a very good tool to teach people about custom collections!

Great Job, Maxim

Thanks for your support. My considerations is a little bit ironic :-)

I think positive if my code becomes 3 lines of code instead of 200.

Thanks
Pierre

I built a templating system for aspx/ascx.
Hard to compete with MasterPages... a lot more than 200 lines of code.

The site is plain, but the templates work well and are easy to use in VS.Net.

It works now if you can't wait a year+ for Whidbey

I learned a LOT about design-time in the process.
