Thoughts on C# 4.0
Yes yes… meet the design team on C# 4.0. C# 3.0 was out with Visual Studio 2008 so it is natural to start look at the future of the language now. This is an interesting team as they got guys from different background i.e. SQL Server, VB, IronPython and even Javascript. We continue to have the father of C# Anders Hejlsberg in the talk here.

Articles about debugging in Visual Studio
Teaching debugging and exception handling in Visual Studio today and some interesting questions pops up. Among them is how come certain variable’s value cannot be changed during debugging while the others can?
I haven’t found a solid answer yet except from frice’s blog:
Like the Immediate window, sometimes you can change local variable values by selecting the variable you want to change and clicking the Value box. If VB lets you to change the variable, the Value field will let you edit it. Some things can’t be changed though. For example, you can’t change objects, such as the properties of a control, or certain Variant variables. In cases where you can’t change the values of a variable in the Locals window, you can use the Immediate window to test the change.
Below are some related articles/ blog post.

Can’t get enough of VSeVSS? Get SmartTemplate then
Jan Tielens who created the SmartPart project came up with another SharePoint project called SmartTemplate. Similar to VSeWSS, SmartTemplate ease the development of SharePoint projects by automating the creating of configurations file with wizards and tools. Further more, by integrating SharePoint Installer, a setup program is created for you as well, giving developers more automation without using STSADM to install the feature. Best of all, it is running inside VS2008!!
Download the project here, it is just v0.2 but can be used to created SmartPart and WebPart project. More are in the todo list, i.e. Event Handler and Application Page project.
Here is the demo video I download from the CodePlex page.
