CVSNT and VS.Net
Finally got decided to switch source control to CVSNT http://www.cvsnt.org , I have been using VSS for a long time now, but my project requires some advanced branching and release management. I evaluated Perforce, which looks like the best, although it is free for 2 users it costs 750$ per user for more, so I decided to give CVS a shot.

Bug or Feature
A strange thing happened today, I was implementing a small security package for my app. The project file was called Security and it created a Security.Dll file as output. I compiled and ran and BOOM no connection to the database!!! … I am thinking how can adding a new module totally unrelated lead to DB connectivity problems…So I do the usual checks, network connectivity, name resolution, I can connect thru enterprise manager, I can connect using SQL authentication. It seems that when I try to connect using SSPI I get the exception “Cannot initialize SSPI package”….Oh Boy…I am thinking corrupt memory, hard disk what could have happened, is my .Net installation corrupt?...So as any good windows user would do..i reboot…no help…problem persists. Its been an hour and I have only allocated 30 mins…someone suggests trying an earlier build….i think..well let’s give it a try..Viola it works…Light goes on…it has to be the security module, because that is the only change….i change the name of the project output to XXXSecurity.Dll and it works. Problem solved!! What a rush…Ahhh the joys of fixing problems.
