Reflector has been invaluable over the years. I’m torn about the idea it’s become a paid for tool, and by all means folks should be compensated for great work. Not sure where Lutz is in the cash flow. But, the ICSharpCode guys have released ILSpy at www.ILSpy.com ( http://wiki.sharpdevelop...

I’m not sure where I had seen some of this base code, but this comes up time & time again on projects. Here’s a little method that copies all the R/W properties (public) between 2 distinct class definitions: It’s called as follows: private static void Test1() { MyClass obj1 = new MyClass() { Prop1...

I wanted to post about one of the best tools I’ve found for getting Kerberos properly configured and in the process getting some great HOWTO information on Kerberos, how it works, etc. When working with SharePoint, and the plan is to have your site run under Kerberos, I recommend using this tool before...

Now that GotDotNet has been mothballed and CodePlex is more project oriented, Microsoft has gotten back into the mix with Code Gallery. This is a community site, the content is minimal for now, and quite frankly, the interface is lacking. While there's search, there's not much meta-data associated with...

I found this tool from an article in Code Magazine. Package This uses the MSDN Content Service Web Services to first give you a list of MSDN or TechNet categories, then you can just click and download, and generate either HxS or CHM files. If you don't want to install the entire MSDN library this tools...
