Get Initials from a String in VB.NET
So I've been in way over my head lately, converting a massive spaghetti-code Classic ASP application to .NET 2.0. Recently my client supplied with one of those Intro-to-Programming exam questions that was kinda fun, so I thought I'd post the answer here.

'About Box' forms, the 'My' Namespace, and Class Libraries
In Visual Studio 2005, there is a built-in form called the "About Box". In a VB.NET project, you can add it to your application, and it will automatially display the info that you put in your AssemblyInfo file for the user. It's a pretty neat little addition that makes it just a little bit easier to build an app.

Why The Redistributable?
I'm still at a loss as to why the J# Redistributable is required for VS2005, even when I don't want J# as a language. Is there any explanation as to why the install process has to be longer because of this? I'd really rather it not be installed if it doesn't have to be.

Whitehorse in the May CTP?
Anyone know how to access the application designer in the May CTP bits? It seems to have changed since the March bits, and I can't find it at all. I need to finish a diagram for a client, and I wanted to use it instead of Visio. Any ideas?

VS2005 MAY 2004 CTP: What Happened To My DefaultInstance?
One of the coolest new features iI saw in the March 2004 CTP bits was the new "DefaultInstance" property in WinForms design. Well, I just installed the May 2004 CTP bits, and when I went to recompile my app, it threw an error. I go ti investigate, and the DefaultInstance property, and it's associated attribute, have been removed. What gives?!?!?? That was a great idea, and should have stayed in. Where did it go?
