OT: The End of a Very Long Day...
I've been relatively quiet the past few months... in case some of you were wondering, here's why.

Tracking Collection Changes: Introducing SmartList<T>
Yesterday, I posted about needing to be able to track changes to generic collections. I've been diving really hard-core into CodeSmith, and right now I'm working on a set of templates that will generate an entire provider model-based website architecture from a set of database tables.

Tracking Changes to Generic Collections
I'm writing an app that makes heavy use of Generic collections, and I'm needing to keep track of objects that are added or deleted. Is there a built-in object that supports this already? I'm about 3/4 of the way finished with my own inherited class that does the trick, but I wanted to throw it out there, in case I'm wasting my time. Thanks guys!

VSTS Hosting
Anyone hear of any firms doing it yet? If not, someone should be. I'd sign up for sure.

New Direction for the MSBuild Toolkit
Microsoft officially announced today that they will unofficially support MSBuild compiling to the .NET Framework 1.1. Called MSBee (the MSBuild Everett Environment), this tool will consist of new .targets files and MSBuild Tasks to round out the feature set that I had been supporting with previous versions of my kit.

New MSBuild Toolkit Coming Soon
For everyone that's been asking, don't install the last build on ANY version of VS2005 other than Beta 2. I'm working on a new version for the RTM version that handles Targets much differently. The only problem is, the MSBuild team refactored the MSBuild APIs, which they said were going to help. It didn't even come close. The RTM version actually has less of the functionality that I needed exposed as public methods, not more. So right now I'm trying to set a gameplan for how best to address it (separate API enhancement that others can use, private inheritance, helper methods... etc) and then I'll be able to wrap it up.
