I'm back

Note: this entry has moved.

My last post was almost two months ago… this is not what I intended when I started blogging but I’ve been doing lots of things that are taking most of my time:

- Spending lots of time testing whidbey alpha bits and reporting bugs (I believe I’m not allowed to say a word about this)
- Writing a super-ultra-cool utility that should help a lot in learning fx internals (basically scanning every piece of metadata, generating my custom db and presenting lots of useful views of it, all this including comparisons of fx v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2).
- Trying to make Lutz’s excellent Reflector support generics
- Wrote three columns about… guess what… yes ASP.NET
- Gave two talks on… guess what… yes ASP.NET
- Done a couple of reviews
- Hanged around the public MS newsgroups (where I just passed the 4.200 posts mark)

And of course I’ve my family and a girlfriend… so, definitely, time *is* money.

I’m currently planning a couple of topics for my next posts but if you would like me to touch any particular topics just let me know.

  • Hi Jamie,



    I've already considered exposing some of its functionallity through webservices; I'll be soon posting an intro to this utility where I would discuss its main features and see what feedback I get. Showing different relations between types is just one of its main features, I've this pretty much worked out but want to make it work across different fx versions, so you can easily learn from what was changed, etc.



    Re: addin, yes I know about it, I've not installed it yet because I often find myself using 2,3,4 reflector instances running at the same time and switching between them all time; but I've heard very good comments about it from several friends so sooner or later I'll be giving it a try :-)

    I look forward to hearing about it. The only thing I miss about JBuilder is the UML code visualisation. I'm hoping your project will do something like this.

    I'm hoping to have a leaner, meaner add-in machine out soon. 'Managed Add-Ins' was a good prototype, but I've laned some lessons and it was time for a re-write. I'd recomend waiting until then to give it a spin.
