I saw SnippetManager on The Daily Grind 178 and there is Code Library for .NET and of course everyone by now has seen SnippetCompiler by Jeff Key.

following in the footsteps of Scott Hanselman who posted his list of Power Tools that he uses, I decided to post a partial list of the ones I use.  How mine probably will differ is that mine will be all *free* utilities.  They are broken down into command line, .NET Utils, and windows utils.   I will populate the list with more stuff as I get free time.

I finally got my Viewsonic V37 Pocket PC that was free with my MSDN subscription.  They said it would take 8-12 weeks and it was 12 weeks to the day!  I only wish that they would have put Pocket PC 2003 (or whatever it is called now) instead of Pocket PC 2002.  But from what I hear there isn't a whole lot of differences.  Maybe this weekend I will have some time to try it out!

I have been working on a Data Access Layer for work and I came across this DAL written by Deyan Petrov on CodeProject.  It does almost everything that we are trying to do here and it is pretty cool!   The idea is to be able to define the following in your xml config files:

I have never loaded a VS.NET macro before but I saw a link for the TypeFinder Macro  listed in The Daily Grind 161.  Jan Tielen did a great job with this!

Coming soon (late 2003) to an MSDN Subscription near you!!

As a lot of people know, I have been trying to figure out a way to format / beautify my C# code ever since making the move from Java to .NET.  I used Jalopy in my previous life and I really liked it.  As Don points out it is a great resource for a company to be able to settle on coding standards and then have developers be able to run their code through a utility that cleans it up according to the company's predefined standards. 

Everything that has a beginning has an end.

I guess we will have to wait a while longer for SP2...

Someone posted a comment on my Google Toolbar 2.0 post asking "who goes with advanced features and who turns it off?"

I went to install Google Toolbar 2.0 on my wife's computer and I noticed that I didn't have to go to a beta page anymore.  I guess version 2.0 is final now!  For those of you who used the previous version, the big thing that 2.0 adds for me is popup blocking.  It also adds some other cool features listed below:

Paschal L noted that ASP Today  is back up and running.  I wonder if that means C# Today will be back up as well?   I never got a chance to subscribe to C# Today before Wrox bit the dust, but it seemed liked they had a lot of content on their site.

Slightly OT...   Just in case you were getting low on reading material for your bathroom.
