After dotnet.blogs now java.blogs.

By the way I didn't know that you can have a .jspa extension ?!?

As Google Weblog reports, there is a new operator in Google Search Engine, in which you can search for synonyms of a key word while you are searching for the main key word. Adding a "~" to your key word, will make Google to search for synonyms of the key word as well as itself. I tried its Farsi edition, but it wasn't available. I think only English edition got this feature for the moment. What's more, you can look for synonyms of a word, using the method Waxy discusses here. Google is a dictionary now! And a complete report by Microdoc News.

OK here we go !

This is really the most stupid article recently published on the Code Project.

Is it because it's holidays time and they can't find any good stuff ?

Rai Umair is surely a good developer, no doubt about that, but his article has a wrong summary and a wrong title:

Have you ever try to use your laptop outdoors with a blazing Sun ?

Well for me look like a dark screen experience :-)

That's why I didn't blogged too much this week end.

The choice was having a tan, or stay in the shadows to dotnetblog !

Guess what I choosed :-)

Frans for one time I disagree with you, not on everything but Web projects.

If like me, you embed some HTML in your code, it's nice to be able to change a badly formed tag or a single hexadecimal color value without the pain to stop the Debugger and restart again.

Try to consider the amount of wasting time just doing Start and Stop debugging.

I agree with you that the developer has to think.

I watched this morning the Whidbey demo on video, and I like the idea that the IDE will show me the line where the error come, edit and continue.

So many times, exception of you own logical errors, errors messages thrown by .Net could be very obscure, and often not related to the exact problem.

As an example, I remember yesterday that my code, working smoothly on my development machine, constantly beak on my production server.

The error messages, the trace didn't give me enough information on the real problem.

And finally I discovered that it was a stupid thing regarding the rights access on a folder.

Rather than giving me the exact issue, VS was just saying something else (don't remember exactly what was the message !).

With Edit and Continue, I would surely impove my productivity, testing different options to solve my issue.

For the Web development, we are, as developers, pushed more and more to embed some templates elements in the code behind.

Fine, but if I test something, and I just want to try a new value, with E&C I don't waste time.
And if I am not happy back to the start.

I am a VB developer, but I write also some code in C#, and I am sad that MS don't implement this feature in every language.
