Brad Adams has a thing or two to say on how best to use FxCop.

Alex Lowe last month posted a well thought out, rather calm and relaxed rant on Microsoft's apparent lack to dominate the market for tools that support software development on .NET.

If you create a file called app.config in your VS .NET project, that app.config folder will be copied to the output folder (e.g. bin\Debug) and renamed target.config, e.g. MyApp.exe.config.

Ever had one of those "I'm sure there's a command line util to do that" feelings about the .NET Framework Tools in the SDK? 

I've been tripped up by this one many, many times!  For those of you who are really into your attributes (as I am), the AllowMultiple property is useful for when an attribute has to be applied to the same class definition multiple times. 

This is one of my favourite .NET blogs so far.  Suzanne Cook posts some excellent low-level CLR bits and pieces.

Jeremy pointed me in the direction of an article by one Tim Dawson about Hosting Windows Forms Designers.  I did this about a year ago in some prototyping work I did for a client, and it was quite tricky to work out at the time.  This is a nice round-up of how you did it.

I wanted to get hold of SLiNgshoT yesterday - this being a project that converts VS .NET solutions to NAnt build files. SLiNgshoT is part of NAntContrib which are plug-ins for NAnt.
