Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a reason for my absence on the blogging front (and to get the word out to friends and family who read the blog...)
WE'RE HAVING A BABY! My wife was hospitalized with high blood pressure caused by the pregnancy last week, and they've decided today to go ahead and induce!
Taking off now to rush to the hospital! Wish us luck! Another programmer will be born soon :) Wow, I am a geek!
Thanks to Dave Bost AGAIN, for saving us developers precious time. :) First he published a GREAT MSDN article on installing VSTS. Recently he resolved something that I ran into last week on a new machine build - the fact that the Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta effectively kills Unit Testing with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 by blocking the resulting scripts from executing. When you execute your tests, the Unit Testing Framework will generate dynamic scripts (with dynamic filenames), and attempt to execute them - but the AntiSpyware app blocks execution, and asks you for approval to execute. The first problem is that VS 2005 completes execution and returns you to source view quicker than you can click the "Approve" button. In addition, because the filenames are dynamically generated, each subsequent execution creates a new script, and each are blocked in succession.
Dave's post with resolution instructions (turn off AntiSpyware's Script Blocking component) are located in his blog post.
Thanks Dave - You da man!
Check out http://www.communityserver.org, which is running on CS v1.1, as of today :)
Need a user roles, personalization & membership logic in your ASP.NET 1.1 applciation, but can't use Whidbey v2.0? Then consider the backport of the ASP.NET 2.0 Personalization & Membership Framework functionality that runs on v1.1, which was re-released today! This package is unsupported by Microsoft, but offers a solid framework for user & role management included in v2.0, available today for your v1.1 websites!
Evaluate this if you plan to migrate your ASP.NET 1.1 application to 2.0 in the near future, and don't plan on doing a complete rewrite. This should definately ease your transition.

This was available previously, but was pulled for the time being, probably during the internal Beta 2 push.
