 This also includes good docmentation of the tool - something that we lack. Thanks Pat.

Do you get excited by technology?  Do you stay up at night pouring through AJAX specifications just for giggles?  Do you have a need to know everything about a particular technology so that you can write about it, blog about it, speak about it, teach it, eat it, drink it, sleep it – let it consume you so that you have no equal?  Have you experienced every aspect of software engineering, from WinAPI programming to Project Management and feel you need to let your wisdom elevate you to some level you only thought was a dream?  Ever feel like you want to stand out on a scale that would scare your mom?  Are you fun to work with?  Are you amazing with people?  Can you write amazing code while at the same time discuss the benefits of agile project management principles to customers?  Do you want to drink from a fire hose every single day?  Do you have an open mind.. and want to work with others to expand it with new ideas, evolutionary principles, and charodic exhilaration?  Do you like travel?  Do you have a flare for evangelism?  Do you have any flare at all?  Do you have something to prove.. to yourself.. your friends.. your peers - your mom?  Are you a Rock Star on the stage of life with no audience?

Actually, there was one little thing that could have gone better – you see, about ¼ of the way through the ASP.NET/Smart Client session – the room started spinning and I truly felt like I was going to loose my cookies.  I kept on thinking to myself “Just keep your hands in your pocket – look at your shoes – nod – and you will be OK” – for those of you who have seen me present before – this must have come as a shocker.   Bristowe was talking in a fury about ASP.NET master pages as I slowly felt more and more like I was actually going to puke my guts out in front of 400 people.  Nice hey?  As I stand there eying the big bowl of ice water that was cooling our bottles of drinking water wondering if it would be acceptable to use it as a puke-pot – John starts asking me to explain some new IDE enhancements… oye – not good – concentration broken…I decided to sit out one of John’s demos to catch a breather.  I totally zoned out – (go to my happy place – breath) - and by the time John got to the Smart Client section I started to feel better.  My entire family is home sick with the flu this week – looks like I’m next in line.

Amazing one stop shop for amazing information…

So, you'll never have to take my word for it again.

No problem...

1.  Turn on Code Coverage in your app
2.  Launch the Manual Test from the Test Manager
3   Use the Windows Explorer to find the target app and run it manually
       eg.  If you build to Math\bin\debug\math.exe - launch manually from this location
4.  Follow the instructions in the manual test - pass or fail it
5.  Shut down the app
6.  View code coverage results

Using Team Build to Build an ASP.NET Web Site

Here is the latest release. What's changed? Well, we ripped out all of the Infragistics controls for one. We've also added lots more validation (when online) as well as user interface enhancements to help prevent you doing crazy things that is allowed in the resulting XML but you would never want to do in real life. We've also added Global List support. Our next release is next week where we will be rounding out more corners specifically around Global List support as well as Work Item Type field level support (not to mention making it look nicer - adding the missing Menu features, etc). You can get it from the GDN Workspace or from our web site... http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/releases/viewuploads.aspx?id=812a68af-5e74-48c6-9623-1a4469142a84 http://www.imaginets.com/Default.aspx?tabid=133 Note, I have completely opened up membership to the GDN Workspace... I kept running out of memberships to give out...
