Newsgator 1.0 has been released http://www.newsgator.com/

I'm sure someone, somewhere has already written this, but I figured it out on my own today, and it's just too cool not to share. Basically, it's a bit of code that lets me store objects in my application of web configuration file, and all I have to do is write the type that holds the values.

There was a discussion on the DM lists about lexers and parsers so I just thought I would post some useful links and if anyone else knows of any links then by all means post them in the comments.

For those Warcraft III fans that don't know there is an an expansion pack coming out this summer The Frozen Throne.  You only have until friday if you want to sign up to be a beta tester http://www.battle.net/register/war3xbeta/  There is an interview with the head developer about the new expansion at http://www.gamespy.com/previews/february03/warcraft3tft/.

I don't know about everyone else but I love collapsible code and regions in VS.Net.  I find myself breaking down all my classes into regions, such as Private Fields, Constructors, Public/Private Methods, Public/Private Properties, and Event Handlers.  And if you have learned the Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O(Collapse to Definitions) shortcut yet maybe you should.  I found myself hitting Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O every time I opened a code file so I created an addin that will collapse code to definitions every time I open a source file.  I love it.
