Apparently SQL Server Mobile Edition is now going to be called SQL Server Everywhere Edition because, well, it is supposed to run everywhere (including the desktop).  From what I can tell, it doesn’t require any kind of an install and is DLL based instead of Service based.

After banging my head against the wall for a short period of time I came across Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi’s post about a bug in the RTM of MSBuild.

Just days after a painful upgrade to the release candidate.  
I hear that this upgrade will be no easier…

As per my previous posts, I was looking for a place to host a Subversion project.  Now SourceForge has support for both CVS and Subversion!!   I created a new SourceForge project and it gave me the option of having SVN turned on.  Very cool! 

I have had a Netflix subscription for quite a while and I noticed that they started taking up to two weeks between dvds.  I contacted them and they did not respond.  No apologies. No credits. No extra dvd.  Nothing.

I know there are several free Subversion hosting options out there but I came across BerliOS Developer, that is setup very similar to SourceForge but allows SVN or CVS. 

I was looking to create a couple of new shell extensions and I started looking at what was involved when I came across EZShellExtensions.NET.  This new product from Sky Software makes it easy to do any of the following:

koders.com is a site you can use to search open source projects by language and license type.

I sure everyone has their must read blogs.  The Daily Grind is that for me.  While I have about 155 feeds I subscribe to with RssPopper, The Daily Grind is usually the first one I read every day.   He has between 5 and 10 items of interest (software releases and other information) that are very applicable .NET developers.

CCNet 1.0 Final is now released and available for download. The release is a copy of build 1.0.0.1251 from ccnetlive.

Just an FYI, but don’t try to have Microsoft Money 2005 / 2006 open at the same time as Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.  It may work for a few minutes but I have found that eventually Visual Studio will crash. 

We have found a weird situation where for a certain vs.net solution, you can debug a vsts unit test but cannot run them.  When you try to run them you get this error:  (for all tests)

Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel

What happened to Nullable.Wrap / Unwrap in .NET RTM ??
