View In Browser
I have been developing in ASP.NET since the beginning. I have been training in Visual Studio since I can remember. I have learned many keyboard shortcuts over the years. I cannot believe it has taken me this long to discover a keyboard shortcut for one of the most common tasks I do - View In Browser. If you have not stumbled across it yet, it is [Ctrl]-[Shift]-[W]. -
Class Notes (2006-01-20) : 2310B ASP.NET Training
Just finished teaching the 2310B ASP.NET class to 17 students in Phoenix, AZ. I put a strong focus on declarative programming, and maximized the use of Visual Studio .NET.

Class Notes (2005-12-16) : 2310B ASP.NET Training
This week at Interface I taught the Microsoft 2310B ASP.NET class. The content was delivered without a single slide, and in most cases, the courseware wasn't referenced. Most of the delivery was from code samples. Although the class turned out well, I did not have the euphoria I reached when I taught the C# class last week. In the C# class, I had students inherit from a "Warrior" base class and override virtual | abstract methods to define warrior specific behaviors. I then collected all the "Warrior" sub-types, and placed them in an Arena (Windows app) to see which warrior would win. In the first tournament, Bruce the Chinese Cook took the championship. After introducing delegates and events, everyone made adjustments to his class, and we had a final tournament. The final winner was Red Bear the Cheyenn warrior. Other warrior types worthy of mention are: SuperBannana, Mace the Jedi, MonkeyAbuser, StickyFigure, TrashTalker, Ronin, and Crazy Female Driver. At the end of it all, each student's grasp of polymorphic behavior was the best I have ever seen. Great class.

Getting a GUID string during design time
If you ever need a GUID generated during design time (serviced components, unique ids), you could always use the [Tools]-[Create GUID] menu options in Visual Studio .NET 2003. However, I find that it is too many steps. I created a MACRO to do the same thing, and assigned a keyboard shortcut to the macro (ALT-G).

A different perspective on Class Viewer in Visual Studio .NET
As I was coding away tonight I started messing around with Class Viewer in Visual Studio .NET. Although it has some nice features (some specific to language) I stumbled across a view I hadn't seen before. By choosing to group by type, everything is organized into subfolders according to it's kind. Here is a snapshot:
